No, you shouldn't substitute whole allspice for ground. You can, however, grind your whole allspice. You can grind it using a mortar and pestle, found in the housewares department at most large department stores, or by putting it in a spoon and smashing it with another spoon. The spoon technique is harder, but if done right, it will work.
