Seems high to me, but I've never taken the drug. I assume most people take it just a few times a week for it's intended use? Is anyone aware of research that shows positive benefits to health at recreational doses?
That’s a standard dose. 3X per day is because it has a short half life.

Recreational doses? What does that mean? Excessive vasodilation isn’t going to be fun. You actually need some vasoconstriction to balance your blood pressure. Too much and you’re just going to get headaches and lightheaded. Excessive vasodilation would be expected to worsen cognition.
Giving the parent the benefit of the doubt, they probably were confused by the idea of people taking these pills to get high. That's generally what is meant by the term "recreational use" when it comes to drugs.
