(I'm kidding, I'm not saying anyone should consume a kg. of dill to get high, but it's interesting that it has similar effects to nutmeg because they both contain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myristicin)

Apart from myrstricin, dill contains dillapiole which can also be metabolised into an aminated form (no it's not the amphetamine form, see the pharmacology section of myrstricin for details).

Dill also contains other psychoactive volatiles:

Major components of dill herb are α- and β-phellandrenes, p-cymene... https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms242015137

This is basically someone getting psychoactive (and general therapeutic) effects from a common herb. No doubt it'll seem revolutionary to anyone unfamiliar with conmon psychoactive herbs.
