I removed the stub notice, as I don't think there is much more to be said about this. A link to Erowid may be appropriate for reference. Jeeves 08:02, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV dispute
This article is inherently biased toward a psychiatric diagnosis of nutmeg psychoactivity, and the stated toxicity is uncited. On the first point, we could as easily write an article "Cannabis psychosis" and "LSD psychosis" and so forth. Psychedelics may lead some some predisposed people to paranoia, and other problems, to be sure, but others do find their effects worthwhile enough to repeat intentionally. Whether this "drug seeking behavior" should itself be classified as some sort of psychiatric problem is further POV-laden. I think this article should be both renamed and revised substantially to present more balance. Whig 22:41, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- How about we move the whole thing to Nutmeg in the first place? I don't really see why this needs to be separate, since it has so little text, and the name is definitely biased. Jeeves 03:01, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. Move it and make this into a redirect. By itself it is not worth an article. WormRunner | Talk 06:54, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Merging seems best, and then we can cleanup the whole nutmeg as a halluncinogen section and remove the disputed tag --Fxer 17:08, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
Oh come on, Cannnabis psychosis doesn't occur from 1-3 whole nutmegs. I know me and some friends have tried it and we never encountered a bad episode of any sort, it should be over 4 whole nutmegs.
