This old gag is from the 60's when we called magic mushrooms Schrums or Schah-rooms. It was right up there with LSD and Mary-Jay. Back then young people decided that booze and beer was un-hip and figured to try something more mind blowing to create an alternate reality. After awhile they all crashed and when they woke up they found they were right back into the old world they had tried to leave via "Mind Blowing" substances. There was even rumors that if you smoked banana peels it would let you see the world in a whole new glow.
Back then the parents who had been teen agers during WWII and the great depression were shocked by all there children turning into dope fiends and drug addicts. There was no hope for the "Flower Children" of the "Free Love" Generation. The real down side is that now days when teenagers try to shock their parents and grand parents with their own wild and crazy ways they find it really hard to find something for Shock value. On the other hand most of the former experimenters in LSD and Mary-Jay have grown up and moved on and some of them even became presidents and other leaders of the "Free World".
