A rumor going around at school claims this exactly, I was wondering if it was true.

I wouldn't do even legal drugs.

I guess I'm a fogey, 'cause I don't know exactly what "parachuted" means. However, "the spice nutmeg is one of the most widely known and most easily available plant hallucinogens. Psychotropic effects may be experienced from the ingestion of 5-20 grams of ground nutmeg, which then consist of a [mild] intoxication lasting up to two days and sometimes followed by deep sleep and/or a severe hangover. The effects are comparable to those of cannabis, but side effects may be serious and include dizziness, flushes, dryness of mouth, accelerated heartbeat, temporary constipation, difficulty in urination, nausea, and, sometimes, panic...the intoxication is usually characterized by distortion of time and space perception and a feeling of detachment from reality. In many individuals visual hallucinations occur, although not so frequent as with LSD or mescaline...A case report of nutmeg's hallucinogenic effects appeared in the New York State Journal of Medicine of February 1, 1969." The effects weren't pretty, but I can't type much more. I won't tell you not to try nutmeg, but from the sounds of things, it's best to proceed with caution and I'm not sure combining it with something else is a good idea.

"I was fascinated by the fact that a household spice could have a significant pharmacological effect, so I tried it myself. It was not very pleasant."
"Nobody thought that nutmeg was anything other than a spice, but it turns out to be a drug as well, and a moderately toxic one."

Please think about this. Do you REALLY want to get high so bad that you would try NUTMEG??
NUTMEG?
I think kids would try shoving 10 boxes of paperclips in their ears if someone told them they could get high.
