Reminds of a similar experience with Yohimbine, although I was a bit older (actually a medical student at the time).

This was in the late Jurassic Era, literally pre-Internet, and I somehow obtained ground up bark, which I cooked up like expresso. Sadly, the stuff looked so nasty I didn't dare drink it, which is probably just as well.

Before I'd ever heard of MDMA, my psychonaut buddy convinced me to swallow several teaspoons of ground nutmeg and honey and adventure with him on a trip to West Point. This was in the early 80's and we ended up swimming across the Hudson River that afternoon to a blueberry and black fly island and back through a seagoing ship channel. So definitely delusional. This mixture was less nauseating than the ground morning glory seeds I'd tried with another friend in the 70's, although that evening my stomach was cramping and I had a vicious headache, but I think that was from the dried coconut we ate for fuel.
