I suspect you are speaking from a highly uninformed perspective.
People drink coffee every morning to be more alert at their jobs, and I fail to see how this is different.
Psychedelics exist for spiritual introspection, discovery and healing. To use these in furtherance of creating a work product for the purpose of enriching others is a bastardization of function. I find it morally abhorrent.
Eating truffles in Amsterdam, for example, leaves me laying on the bed seeing shapes and patterns for a while. I find myself extremely entertaining. A little bit of shrooms leaves me happy with a body buzz and a little lazy. It is more like I'm heavily stoned, enough so that I'm assuming your dose was too low based on your description.
If you are interested, I honestly suggest taking a vacation to a place with some legality (Amsterdam, for example), and eating a package of them. Have a friend with you. Wait a few hours before leaving your hotel room. If the response is different, you'll know it was your dose. If you simply don't actually "trip", you have an atypical response.
