Best bank holidays:
That glorious, all too brief period (before I had kids) when head shops had discovered a loophole in the law which allowed them to legally sell magic mushrooms.

Is this because you have taken them and not enjoyed it?
Or have you not taken them for this reason?

If you were expecting to see giant pink kittens, as Davvo suggests below
Then no, they wouldn't work.
I am intrigued by this though. Are you saying that you never felt anything, or that the experience didn't live up to your expectations?
There must be different tolerance levels. The friend who I used to regularly take mushrooms with would always get an hour or so into the trip and then be convinced that he had come down and insist on brewing up some more.

Took mushrooms - nothing at all happened though two others were all over the place
Took LSD - giggled a bit

This is one of the problems with prohibition laws

Speed does nothing until I smoke (which I don't normally)
E made me just happy

You might see the appeal more if you had tried them.
Like all drugs, they make you feel great - otherwise people wouldn't take them.

Is this football related happiness? I know nothing about football, but know what you northeners are like; if it's not racing pigeons and wippets it's football and Jarrow marches.

I cannot understand your lack of understanding of their appeal.
Quite the most incredible experiences of my life, if I am honest. Sorry, 'birth of my daughter', but it's true. A heavy dose of DMT is easily the most spectacular thing - way beyond the limits of your imagination. The first time I had a proper go on it, it was like being locked in an Aztec-themed computer game - not one single thing I could see bore any relation to a 'real' object. Fucking mind-blowing.
It's so intense that it is pretty scary, but it's akin to a religious vision and psychologically has done me the world of good. Nothing like stepping outside yourself to gain insight.

I think the issue for me is that I am a control freak.
I don't like being completely out of my mind - even being very drunk gives me a (slight) amount of control. The particular bit that scares me is not being able to stop it or change things I wasn't enjoying. As an example - what if you didn't like being in an Aztec-themed computer game? How could you take control and stop that?

Mastering your fear is part of the experience.
Learning to let go and simply accept what you are experiencing is very good for you.
DMT only lasts a few minutes, anyway - not that time has any meaning when you are in that world.

I am sure the phrase 'Learning to let go and simply accept what you are experiencing is very good for you' has served you well when recruiting in the playground you massive nonce.

At the risk of sounding like a dreadful old hippy
I always get a strong sense of being "home" and that what I am experiencing is how things actually are, which I have been enabled to perceive properly.
