Nutmeg use in Zanzibar

A tour guide in the spice farm is describing to the group how nutmeg is used by locals to as a drug by men to replace alcohol, or is given to young bridges who are afraid of their wedding night. 

Zanzibar is known as the “spice island” and exports a number of spices including nutmeg. It also does a roaring tourist trade showing tourists around the farms and selling spices in Stone Town market.
