I agree 2c-b is very recreational, which is why I excepted it. It is the other 2c's, with the possible exception of 2c-d and 2c-t-7, that I do not think are recreational.
As for whether shrooms are recreational, try taking them while you go out for the night in Las Vegas -- insanely funny. They turn any movie into a rollercoaster, where you kind of feel like you are in the movie. I cannot wait to see Avatar on shrooms. You can have great sex on shrooms. Size distortions can make feet and noses look huge.
And, while everyone has their own opinion, if you tend to go to hippie jam band concerts and festivals, you will see that shrooms are like beer and weed, everyone does them. In fact, I find that shrooms give me a rather drunken feeling in addition to the trippiness.
I'm not saying my best times have been on shrooms, and it is surely possible to have a bad, intense or psychologically rough trip on them (or any psychedelic). However, if you keep your dose reasonable, I think its very rare to have a bad time on shrooms and it is hard to find better bang for the buck in terms of recreation.
