A teacher on TikTok has gone viral after discovering students are using nutmeg to get high.
In the video, TikToker @lakeviewliving shared how she came to find out the pantry staple is being used by teens for recreational activities other than baking.
She began:
“Today, I was talking with one of my teacher friends, and she was like, ‘Girl, trying to stay one step ahead of these kids is exhausting.'”
While the TikToker agreed this is true on any given day, what she found out next absolutely floored her.
“Let me just tell you what I heard today."
“It is flipping wild.”
She then shared that another teacher came across a jar of nutmeg during a “backpack check."
The teacher asked the student why they had the nutmeg, and the student told her it was for culinary class.
No big deal, right?
Wrong.
The teacher brought up the nutmeg to the culinary arts teacher, you know, to find out what they were making with all that spice, but the culinary teacher was at a loss.
“What are you talking about?”
“We’re not making anything with nutmeg.”
The TikToker then revealed the school's resource officer overheard and got involved.
Shortly after, the students with nutmeg in their backpacks were suspended.
The creator continued:
“You know why they’re all suspended?”
“Because these flipping teenagers have figured out you can use nutmeg to get high.”
And it's true! Nutmeg, when consumed, possesses hallucinogenic properties. This, however, can be followed by unpleasant side effects such as facial flushing, tachycardia, hypertension, dry mouth, feelings of euphoria, unreality, and delirium.
The teacher finished the TikTok just flabbergasted.
"Is nothing sacred anymore? Like what? I wanna know how they even figured this out."
"Y'all can't get your homework done, but you can figure out how to get high off of nutmeg?"
"Make it make sense."

Most viewers of the TikTok shared the creator's surprise over this new discovery.

There were a few, however, who were familiar with the spice's game.
