A popular kitchen spice is gaining popularity with teenagers, but not for cooking. Many kids are apparently using ground nutmeg to get high.I'd hate to think what these kids might do with mistletoe.
Homemade videos on YouTube show teens consuming large amounts of the spice by eating it, snorting it and even smoking it. The spice is typically used in desserts and drinks like eggnog.
