acid vs. shrooms

[Boss_d.j.]

what are the benifets of shrooms to acid? ive done acid quite a bit but never shrooms. any info?

[deadsilence020]

Shrooms is the effects like acid with out all the bad side effects physiclly and mentally (good way to put it)

[mynameisjake07]

I voted shrooms, it might sound weird but I just hate how sweaty you get on acid and my whole body over heats

[2cesarewild]

Being on acid is sort of like being in heaven...

[MushieBaby]

I think if where i lived there be good acid i would eat it more often but i seem to get awsome shrooms and im happy with them.i love them. the coolest thing abouit acid is that when i run i feel invinsible and i think i can run forever taking in everything that flys past me. wow im flying so fast dudes...hahah :)

[headymoechick]

acid- I love shrooms but lsd is stronger and it lasts longer.

Plus, mushrooms make my stomach hurt afterwards. Also, there is a weird different feeling I can't describe on acid. Sometimes I live for that feeling. :)

[mushie18]

acid is way more laid back, and more of a party for my mind. Mushrooms are more "spiritual" and I do a lot of self analysis. I like acid more.

[JoeNobody211]

mushies dont seem to work for me anymore, at all.

[Jonas]

shrooms make me feel bad sometimes, but i never done acid. from what i hear about acid, it sounds more for me than shrooms. i get too much negativity while tripping on shrooms, like feeling worthless and questioning everything about my life and acknowledging how pointless it all is, not exactly my definition of fun.

[happyhippiegrl]

All of it depends on your state of mind before taking any psychedelic. Just be around people you love and can have fun with and you will enjoy the ride. Personally I perfer shrooms, because I do agree it is more spiritual and peaceful for myself.

Man your self-worth is determined by you. When you start to feel pointless on shrooms dude, just turn up some funky ass shit real loud and start grooving.

Shrooms will make you see the pointlessness in certain aspects of life, but if you use em right with the right mindset they'll help you see the beauty and meaning.

You put that very nicely.

As for shrooms or LSD... that's a tough one. I'm very comfortable with the duration and effects of both, so it's really just a matter of personal taste. I've had extremely beautiful and beneficial experiences on both and I feel as if picking favorites would hurt the other's feelings so to speak ;)

They're both beautiful and valuable drugs and I can't really choose one over the other. I guess that doesn't answer the question but there you have it.

thanks man, beleive it or not that helped. i've been torn deciding on continuing using shrooms, and i actually got back to them yesterday, i ate a half eighth after like 2 months of not tripping, i used to eat an eighth every other week but it really started to get to me. but i took the half eighth, it was a good time, and i got the other half sittin in my room, i'll have to pick up another eigth and do a little 5.2 g action :) its all because my old connect stopped gettin em, and i wasn't gonna pay 35-40 every other week from other assholes, but thsi dude is back with the 25-30 range and i'm gonna start up again. thanks again dude.

[deadsilence020]

Shrooms are definatly more spritual... I love them, makes me self-reflect like never before, and see the world in a whole different scheme... awsome.. my vote goes 100% towards shrooms

And i HAVE tryed acid... its more... i dont know, but its stronger, and has more phsyicaly bad traits. Stick to natural shit man!

Love

yeah, i dont know what bad traits you are talking about, but i feel more in tune with everything on lsd. On lsd, i talk more, and overall, its more of a drug a take with groups of people. While mushrooms for me is a lot more introverted. I dont know, but to for me mushrooms had more "bad traits". It's really all up the individual, as to what you like out of your trip.

[GTA83]

I think acid is def more fun than shrooms, i love the burst of energy from cid that keeps going strong until the end, and the feeling like you have more control but then wham your back in it full force, it also seems that i have fewer deep thoughts, but the ones i do have are as if they should be etched in gold so all the world can remeber them.

The things i hate the most about shrooms are the way u don't feel like moving and u just have to sit there as if you were in some wierd dream. I mean the visuals are sweet if you take enough and then it is fun for about 2-3 hours of a good energy buzz and you forget the rest of the world exists, but then my body dies and i sit there and think non-stop and ask myself why I still eat them. My 2 cents

[Random Andy]

Does anyone else get the feeling they need to take a dump on shrooms? Not a heavy feeling, just like some might slip out (that's never happened, btw). Sitting down and actually deliberately taking a dump whilst on shrooms is brilliant! I felt like Neo - you know in the first matrix film after he explodes agent Smith and the corridor he's standing in warps behind him when he flexes his muscles. Like that.

I think acid does fuck you up a bit, physically, in the long run but it's all down to your personal reaction to it. Some people can do it for years without complaint.

I choose... shrooms.

[Mr. Slyman]

Shrooms are organic.....LSD is a synthetic drug. I'll pick nature's high anyday.

[mushie18]

organic? if growning them in an aquarium, in some sketchy dudes apartment is organic, we have a different concept or organic.

[Weatherman]

I know exactly what you mean. It's that catatonic existential despair. It's useful, but if you overdo it you'll start just feeling empty. Lately it's all I get from shrooms. The other night I tried something which I was told was mescaline, assumed was 2C-I, and ended up being something totally different on which I tripped for 12 hours. It was definitely my kind of psychedelic, I got excelllent visuals and was in a comfortable state of mind in which I felt I could move around different psychic areas with ease. Too bad I'll probably never find it again.

[PurpleGel]

honestly i don't see how any psychedelic is easier on your mind than another. i've had negative thought loops on acid and on shrooms. i think it might be expectation that is the greater influence.

[MagicSwhirlingShip]

shrooms make me lazy and groggy. Acid gives me energy like a red a bull.

[mushie18]

honestly i don't see how any psychedelic is easier on your mind than another. i've had negative thought loops on acid and on shrooms. i think it might be expectation that is the greater influence.
it differs for everyone. i have had more "bad trips" on mushrooms. I have never had one on L. My bad trips aren't really bad trips, but more just negative feelings, and being uncomfortable. and wanting it to end. Mushrooms just seem to bring this out a lot. Not every time, but about half.

[kindwoman]

Shrooms, hands down.

[porkstock41]

can somebody tell me about these physically bad effects with acid?


i've never done acid but i would like to, and before doing so, this might be some helpful info.

i've tripped shrooms three times and the last one (4th of july) i got that negativity bad at the end of the trip.

[greengoddess]

I love shroomies!!!!

[Shampoo]

organic? if growning them in an aquarium, in some sketchy dudes apartment is organic, we have a different concept or organic.

I heard shrroms grow out of cow shit...?

[the zen-man puck]

I vote 4 shrooms, two words: blue honey.

[mushie18]

I heard shrroms grow out of cow shit...?some species grow on, or to the side of cow shit, but not in it. Most mushrooms, that one buys from a dealer are hom grown

[Shaman420]

Acid is the best drug ever.

[nesta]

i decline to vote. i love them both passionately. both have advantages over the other...

for example, with a little effort you can generally tell if someone is selling you real mushrooms or not. with acid, you have to wait until you drop to find out if its really LSD or if its just blank paper.

while you can't count on a consistent potency in any particular kind of mushroom, you can at least have accuracy in the AMOUNT of fungal matter ingested, providing you have scales. its much harder to gauge your dose of LSD, because the potency of blotter is far more variable than the potency of mushrooms.

LSD lasts longer, and generally produces fewer "negative" side effects. many of the side effects of psychedelics are physical manifestations of mental hang ups....even nausea at times. both LSD and pure psilocybin are essentially safe and harmless from a physical standpoint, but sometimes there is a physiological reason for sickness during a trip (such as with the toxins in morning glory seeds, the severe nausea that usually accompanies harmala alkaloids in things like ayahuasca vine or syrian rue, or the discomfort assosciated with trying to digest most kinds of psilocybian mushrooms).

while lasting longer is a good point to LSD, similarly a shorter period or duration is a good point in mushrooms. it just depends on what you're looking for.

you can VERY easily and discretely grow your own Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms without ever having to contact any "criminal element" or shifty dealers that may try to fuck you over one way or another (can't even trust the psychedelic community, these days, let alone people that get into bullshit like coke or meth or dope)

acid is much easier to hide, and is much less likely to be found by a cop or a dog.

mushrooms have the advantage of being bigger than blotter. anyone ever dropped a peice of blotter on a light colored kitchen floor? really hard to find, especially if you've already dropped some down your throat....

as for the effects, the effects of mushrooms vary considerably depending on dosage, potency, etc.
same with acid.
its really hard to say that theres much difference in the actual effects of the two substances. there ARE differences, but nothing that can adequately be put into words, apart from physiological responses and duration.

my biggest deciding factor is looking at how much time i have, how much money, what i have at my disposal, etc.

but placing one above the other is impossible for me.

[Jabbawaya]

In retrospect, I would say that I prefer mushrooms.

[psychedelic toker]

Acid will always be my pick

[nesta]

yeah there is something about LSD definitely, but if you grow your own mushrooms you have something of a special connection to them...its hard to describe. but when i grew them they were my favorite.

[seancourt]

mushrooms are awesome, have yet to try cid

[Bopper]

where i live for 2 months every year shrooms grow all over and are much more reiable than most of the acid and imho are a much better trip

[kif]

Ive done a lot of both, but Im more of a shroom man.

[PeachyKeen420]

I can't fairly compare the two. I did acid before I tried shrooms and didn't like the emotional rollercoaster that shrooms take you on, but they are much easier on the brain than acid. As with all drugs, they affect everyone differently, so to me, shrooms may be an emotional rollercoaster compared to acid, but to someone else, it could be the other way around. Acid is a whole different kind of trip as far as I'm concerned, but what do I know??

[the_dude]

hevant tried LSD yet.

[kayy]

love mushrooms... but was about the kidneys, is is a problem?

[Ranchero]

I'll always go for shrooms over acid any day. has anyone read Food of the Gods by Terry Mckenna?

[TheLizardKingMike]

LSD is the greatest chemical to ever exist. Don't get me wrong, I love mushrooms. I love tripping in general, but the visuals on acid are the most incredible experience I've ever had. With the rainbow colored swirls and everything. With mushrooms, I tend to feel a little tired, on acid, I feel that I have have a lot of energy but I never use it. I remeber the first time I tried acid, it was like I could feel a tracer. I could see this blue aura all around my body. It was fucking awesome.

[retinalcircus]

acid is the handsdown winner.

[Keegan]

Sorry I disagree. Magic Mushrooms hands down...

[2cesarewild]

Acid is orange marmalade mountain beaver down the winner.

[TheLizardKingMike]

Acid is orange marmalade mountain beaver down the winner.I agree... I think.

[psychedelic toker]

It's not the visuals im excited about when tripping on acid its the experiance and feelings you have that make acid- at least for me

[skibadee]

salvia

[2cesarewild]

salvia
rofl, yea k.

[stonerman420]

ive never tried acid but i know what people mean when they say shrooms take you on an emotionall rollercoster...for some reason i sometimes read the room like, ill look at the room back and forth like im reading a page or something...i dunno thats just like what i do for some reason...one bad thing with shrooms is the stomach ache they give you the next day...and the amount of time you spend in the bathroom...it sucks...but its TOTALLY worth it..imo atleast...but i think its more of personal preferance more than anything, some people like acid more, some people like shrooms more...its all what you yourself like in the trips, i personally dont think id try acid, i love tripping, but it just seems like its just TOO intense...but then again, i might try it one day.

[TopNotchStoner]

I enjoy the natural/organic feeling of mushrooms. Acid is too electric feeling for my taste, but if it's put in front of me I'll drop that shit without thinking twice.

[ssj3gotenks]

although acid is funner, shrooms are not nearly as bad for you. from what i've heard, acid melts your brain away. Shrooms can be a little hard on the stomach, but when doing well in life (Getting a good job) is important, burning up your brain doesn't seem too sexy

Acid doesn't melt your brain away. Physically, acid is one of the safest drugs known to man. It causes less damage to your body than advil, tylenol, and weed. Mentally, on the other hand, acid can bring pre-existing mental disorders to the surface. But will not actually CAUSE or CREATE mental disorders.

Couldn't agree more

[Spiderman,UFO's]

it depends on what you want. i view acid as more mindexpanding, intense colors, mad scientist, japanese anime. mushrooms are a better body high, dreamy, floaty, breathing. they are very diffreent but have many similarites. acid lasts longer and i can control my trip onb cid more. i worry sometimes and get anxiety on mushrooms, but they have a better body high. i love them both . couldnt chhose between either. both have a lot to offer

[orbital_forest]

its L fa sho....i like the feeling of slowly losing all control of your mind :)...altho mushies are the shit too,there a more normal occurence than L...L and mushies together is a goddamn marriage :)

[twisted_mushroom]

i like to think of them as very close relatives and i depends what situation im in, if im out clubbing ill take lsd, indoors shrooms just because of the way they work...BUt i do have to say lsd is my fav just due t the sheer strength and not having to munch a shit load of it like u do wid shrooms...on the plus side its shroom pickin season here in the uk, im off pickin in a few mins heheheeh

[dlo24844]

....I don't think I've ever takin' pure LSD-25 if I DID it must have been a weak dose . Sandoz? Owsley? I missed out on it all but I still live in hope i'Ve tried for 24 years to score pureLSD-25 But the future is ahead.Mushrooms have blown the door off the hinge's in my mind but I've never had strong dose of pure LSD-25 Any way love peace and freedom forever.

[swede]

I voted 'shrooms. I had a strange experience one day, sitting with a couple friends, both of whom have taken both, when they began, "I wonder which is better, shrooms or acid?" "I know who we can ask." They turn to me, it was strange because of the way they had brought it up, and then thought to ask me as if I wasn't there. I picked 'shrooms then and now because the two seem to be reversed for me compared to most of the other opinions here. I've never had a "bad trip" on shrooms (to the point its as if they act as an maoi or something, one of the first changes I feel is becoming very calm and especially happy). Also, I've never gotten sick from 'shrooms, whereas I have vomited from acid (though I then proceeded to have the best trip it ever gave me), and have had more than one "bad trip" on it. Another aspect of it is that when I did acid, I did a great deal in a short time (50+ hits in about 3 months), and now (about 2 years later) I ocassionally get a "flashback" sensation which is extremely unpleasant (random stimuli, sounds, odd flashing lights, make me feel as though I'm on the verge of a seizure). Also, I've had many more, and much more pleasant hallucinations on 'shrooms. Sorry to babble, just sharing my experiences.

[lindpere]

I sure would like some shrooms now , but I have no idea where to get some... And acid is hard to get in Estonia too.... :(

You heard wrong. LSD is less toxic, teratogenic, mutagenic, et cetera, than aspirin. My advice is not to pay too much attention to: A) Government propaganda, and B) your little idiot buddies who can't even spell "science" let alone have any familiarity with the scientific method. If that sounds harsh, it's meant to. All the information is out there, including long-term toxicology studies, for those who prefer knowledge over "I heard that...".

Nesta nailed it, IMO, in a previous post about any negative physiologic responses being due to "where one's head is at". LSD itself has only very mild stimulant effects; it does act as an "amplifier" of whatever emotions one is feeling, and the jitteriness and nervousness are merely the anxieties of the tripper, magnified. Deep breathing, meditation, or other "stilling" techniques normally make that anxiety go away. Yoga is particularly beneficial in achieving a relaxed, centered, and positive focus.

I've had so little experience with psilocybin that I cannot state a preference. I wish to change that state of affairs, and gain more experience with mushrooms. I'm not sure, though, that they will help me accomplish the growth-work I need to do.

[elemya]

I like to start off with 300 mics of lsd. An hour later I take about 2 - 3 grams of shrooms (depending on the type). Once all is kicked in I usually play around on the dual - peaks of the shroom/lsd trip. After about 2 hours of this I bump some K.. well, I K-hole a lot =P This brings back an intense LSD-ish body buzz but makes my stomach feel better from the shrooms. I may throw in a couple whippets.. or NOS.. or some Molly (pure mdma, orally only)... I don't know. If it gets way way too intense for me like this time I did 9 grams of azurescens? I just take 5 - 10mg of valium and everything anxiety/negative dissapears instantly. Seriously people, valium wont KILL your trip, but if you're having a difficult time and need to chill -- or chill someone else out... give them 5 - 10 of valium and watch =)

What about ever-trippers? People DO ever-trip from the shit!... Haven't tried either shrooms or acid... Shrooms temp me though.

[Mordiana]

What about ever-trippers? People DO ever-trip from the shit!... Haven't tried either shrooms or acid... Shrooms temp me though.
That doesn't mean your brain is molten. Its called HPPD and basically means you disorganized your neutotransmitters so much that you have a longlasting visual change, its not 'ever tripping', its often just quite light.
And you can get hppd from mushrooms too. Acid is just more likely to cause it.
The fact acid is called acid doesn't mean its an acid taht melts stuff.

[2cesarewild]

Or you may develop other psychotic illnesses that were probably already there just waiting for something else to bring them out.

[WildChild67]

are the chances of getting hppd high?

sorry its a little off topic ive never tried either

[porcupinetree]

i tripped on shrooms several times before i hit acid.
naturally i love shrooms.

acid for me tend's to be far too sharp, its like the universe burning a hole in your head.... and the acid we get is too high in strycthine or whatever its called... that zang in your spine. the come-downs are bad.. i do feel exhausted for a week

altho sayin that i do love alice

[The Stig]

Sorry this is off-topic as I have never tried acid...

But on the subject of LSD myths my friend and I (he has both mush and acid experience and for the record greatly prefers the acid experience) were talking to someone who told us that anyone who did acid more than 5 times would be paralyzed, and he "knows his shit". HAHA it's times like that we all know it's not even worth arguing with the person, just smile and nod and shoot your buddy a knowing glance.

[marbchic]

Acid, baby. shrooms make me vomit 75% of the time. i still do eat them when camping(who cares if u puke in bush, right?) or festing. but acid is way more predictable for me.

i think after eating acid 7 times you're legally insane (mabey that's what your friend was talkin about)

If the come downs are bad then thats cos you are mentally exhausted which can last for days weeks even months depending on how the trip went.

When just me and 1 friend did 400ug each in the woods i felt fine the next day because the trip was just so damn good, an entire trip worth of feeling amazing. On the other hand after 300ug on another day at my friends house i felt a little annoyed for some reason during parts of the trip and felt something almost trying to come to the surface in the back of my mind. This trip was weaker yet afterwards i felt drained for about a week. And my first time on acid was 275ug (im guessing here cos i had one 200ug blotter and one unIDd liquid acid drop and standard liquid hits are 75ug i heard off of someone more experienced than me on average i think) as well as a pill and a joint and i did feel drained the next day but I recovered quickly.

[Echo the Small]

I would say, being in nature (like camping) away from civilisation with mushrooms is the most profound experience one could have. I put mushrooms first because they are natural and dont have that heavy feeling acid does, but it only wins by a small margin. It's a really hard choice though because acid has also done many great things for me and i love them both. Jeez its like asking to choose between two children.
Ouch...

I just imagine i heard and read a lot about psychedelics but my experience are not heavy...

Somebody can became mad after just the first time...others never bacame mad after 500 dose ...so stop the logics and mathematics...
Acid is not the theritory of logic ,acid just let grow even deeper the seed of your soul...

And just a wee bit of strychnine will give you a very horrible painful death
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_myth5.shtml

The most important part of this article is that a standard 6mm blotter has a total mass of less than 3mg closer to 2mg and that even if the entire thing was made somehow of strychnine it would only be a threshold dose, nowhere near fatal.

[Schlüßelberg]

Another myth, this is not true.
Doesn't it make you want to just smack some of these little idiots upside the head for repeating such inane bullshit? Arrrghh.

Yeah, yeah, I'm non-violent...today.

[2cesarewild]

Definitely, I had a girl telling me a few weeks ago that acid stays in your spine etc but she could not offer any sort of explanation as to how this mechanism functions lol, and so I laughed at her and she got all on the defense "i go to medical school blah blah" the world needs doctors like that eh?

[FlUfFnStUfF]

HaHA thats funny i also once had somebody tell me acid stays in your spine and if you crack your back you wil start tripping??? what a load of bullshit... persoanly i think Acid is the way to go you trip harder, longer, and it dosent taste like shit! you also dont get tired

[divinorum]

SALVIA DIVINORUM!!!!!!!

[polymer]

you trip harder
bullshit

[polymer]

the world needs doctors like that eh?
oh yeah; the world needs more doctors to issue Phizer pez, and shun anything that isn't profitable to HMOs

[2cesarewild]

ahahahahah phizer pez, yes

[Viruk]

I personally prefer acid, its much better than shrooms for me.
Shrooms make me feel sick, and sort of nervous, really intense also.
So far acid has made me feel calm or happy, and the only time I got even slightly scared was when I tried to watch donnie darko at 3am while peaking on acid.

[passittotheleft]

I've only had shrooms so I dont know if acid is better.

[polymer]

I've only had shrooms so I dont know if acid is better. if you've chomped mad amounts, you're not really missing anything; high doses of psilocybin are very psychedelic as it is. My own experiences have shown me that high dose psilocybin is actually more intense than high dose LSD (i.e. 7 grams dried cubensis shrooms > 7 violet gels), and the length of the trip is comparatively brief. I've had some ecstatic trips on either substance, I just prefer psilocybin because I feel it has more potential than LSD, in many aspects.

but everyone has different experiences, and different preferences so it's somewhat tough to debate.

[The_Moroccan_Raccoon]

shrooms are way better

[2cesarewild]

Yea I've bet you've got assloads of experiences that caused you to come to that conclusion.

[polymer]

i does.

but like I said, it just comes down to personal preference, really :)

saying one is better than the other, is like saying vanilla is better than chocolate.

[2cesarewild]

I wasn't talking to you though.

assloads? hahahahahaha

[resistol5000]

Hi everyone!

I think LSD is better if you want to get in orbit, but if you want to stay closer to earth, deep inside you, get into mushrooms with some cheap wine. I wish i can have some of any, i haven't done them in years, listening to Pink Floyd.Timothy Leary, and Grateful Dead was a life changing experience for me. Can someone help to live again the old times?

[Grapefruity]

if you've chomped mad amounts, you're not really missing anything; high doses of psilocybin are very psychedelic as it is. My own experiences have shown me that high dose psilocybin is actually more intense than high dose LSD (i.e. 7 grams dried cubensis shrooms > 7 violet gels)Those must be shitty gels...or you have awesome mushrooms...cuz here a blotter is equivalent to about 1.5-2g of cubensis shrooms in intensity, or more...And they arent always out of this world blotter neither...

I prefer acid...but i have never done a dose of shroom to approach a good intense lsd trip...But im not a mushroom person I guess, I have the impression that the effects approach both a sickness and a trip, and it turns me down...but thats me.

[2cesarewild]

I'm with g-fruit on this one, 7 grams cubensis is like taking 3 or 4 good doses for me, just goes to show everybody reacts differently.

[polymer]

Those must be shitty gels...or you have awesome mushrooms...cuz here a blotter is equivalent to about 1.5-2g of cubensis shrooms in intensity, or more...And they arent always out of this world blotter neither... they were purple parrafin squares...windowpane...and yeah, they were very good.
7 grams of golden teacher; also quite good


I prefer acid...but i have never done a dose of shroom to approach a good intense lsd trip... then you probably never had cyanescens, azurescens, or liberty caps; I've had cyanescens..those are very potent, and much more visual than acid.

[LSDPsychonaut]

definatley acid. shrooms make me feel more depressed.

[polymer]

anyone have the Psychedelics Encyclopedia?

claviceps purpurea (ergot fungus, the biological precursor to LSD) looks identical to shrooms when magnified :)

[Grapefruity]

hehe polymer you really deepen my idea of how different people can react differently to a drug! :)

[Cosmic Butterfly]

I perfer the mushroom. Acid is fun, but I like the serious essence that mushrooms gives. Mushroom can chew you and spit you up to other side of the universe. It also feels alot cleaner on my system.

[zodiacflower]

my advice is,b4 u do either smoke weed.......cause then ur already happy

[freakon]

shrooms brings out my real personality, i feel like "this is the real me" and i get this amazing nice body feel, music feel, rhythm feel. i feel free btu can be bitchy also, people who think they know me get a chock, because that's the only time they hear what i really think of them.........

[fountains of nay]

I say shrooms, but I've never done acid and I don't really itnend to.

[Arnstein]

Shrooms since its not chemical! :)

[r33f3r_m4dn3ss]

shrooms are the seeds of god!

seriously though, if you look up straphoria cubensis, which is the family that contains cubensis, you'll realize they are, yes, alien to this planet.

purple to withstand UV rays, spore casing is one of the strongest known chemicals and can withstand entering our atmoshpere. Also, 4-dymethyltryptamine is only found in mushrooms, nothing else on our planet.

I myself of course prefer shrooms. I'd rather eat something that my body recognizes compared to some bastard demon child born in a laboratory.

[polymer]

4-OH-DMT (psilocin for the win)

also, keep in mind, LSD is semi-synthetic...that means its also semi-natural.

lsd is the microbiological freak experiment that turned the world's consciousness inside-out.

acid. helping millions think outside of the box, since 1962.

[Magical Mystery Girl]

I've never tried either one, although they do intrigue me quite a bit. However, I'm highly doubting that I'd be able to handle an LSD trip, because I suspect I'd panic. Mushrooms I'm very curious about, although, again, I'm wondering if they will make me flip out. I've never done psychedelic drugs, but I know my mind is always pretty crazy to begin with; I have several mild social disorders, so I fear that it will only make them intensify. I've been offered to try mush this coming weekend with some close friends... but again, I'm not sure whether or not I should try it. I know simply the doubting is probably not the best indication, but the first time I ever smoked a joint, my bf thought I would get extremely paranoid, but I handled it fine and had a great time. I've done several stimulants, which seem to be my favorite. Never psychedelics. Is there a minimum dosage of mush that I could possibly start with that wouldn't make it last too long?

I know I really would love to have a spiritual experience on mush. I've heard many great things.

[Tarantism]

i like LSD because i have had times where mushrooms have fucked with my head bad. i havent ever had that happen to be while in the midst of an acid trip./\

[MeatWagon499]

I Love Acid!

[Magical Mystery Girl]

I don't know... The fact that I'm unsure as to whether or not I should take it seems to be a bad sign. All I'd need is to pop in down my throat and have a panic attack.

[stalk]

Man, Way before 1962 albert hoffman started trippin' in the 40's.
LSD is found in nature,
In the ergot root.

Ergot infected the town of Salem's Wheat, hundreds of years ago.
Everyone started tripping,
because everybody ate the Wheat.
They all thought there were witches,
because ACID is fucking magical-

Yes, the salem witch trials were caused by acid.

I prefer acid over mushrooms,
Psilocybin tends to push you around, in your mind,
but with acid you have complete freedom.
I've lucid dreamed on an airplane on acid
and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

I had my own planet,
somewhere in our consciousness.

Anyway,
LSD is an amazing psychedelic!
I can't do mushrooms anymore-
I've done them so much that whenever I eat them
I just get sick. I don't even trip,
I constantly have a mushroom state of mind.
It's fucking weird . .

How about Mescaline?
Or DMT?

Broaden your horizons, hippy's! :)

[stalk]

Panic attacks are beautiful.

I was running around in the woods naked, one time on LSD,
and I realized I LOST MY CAMOFLAGE PANTS,
And I thought people were coming,
because the Aural halucinations were Wild,
So I had this 15 minute panic attack looking for my pants.

HAHAHAHAHA
When I found them I just laughed
and laughed,
and then made love to the Earth.

[stalk]

EVERYONE SHOULD DO ACID
look what happened to san francisco!
Fucking CREATIVE HEADQUARTERS

[stalk]

Being on acid is sort of like being in heaven...

It's heaven on Earth.
Heaven exists in the altered
state of mind.

[dancingmaryjane]

damn. i say acid but it's a close vote

[PeaceMaker]

i have never done acid but i plan on it this summer, but i do enjoy mushrooms every once in a while, but yea my stomach always feels like shit, i wonder if i took some tumbs if that would help

[everythingelsealso]

acid wins, completely. not that i dont like shrooms, just cid is so much better.

[digital 3.0]

What type of shrooms do you like best?

(Happy Shrooms) where you smile a lot, and get a giant ego boost and lots of great energy

(Giggly Shrooms) The shrooms that make you laugh so that it sometimes gets to what seems like an inaproppriate laughing spree but you get a lot of goofy body high energy and bouncy ego

(Trippy Shrooms) Straight visual shrooms, very intsense colors usually ends up with a very peace oriented ego, but a very confused peak.

PERSONALLY - I like to mix trippy shrooms with giggly shrooms, that way the visuals won't scare you, youll just laugh back at them.

The only time i've had happy shrooms, I didn't have any other kinds of shrooms. Very cool trip though, happys tend to really make colors bright, and dont give you the urge to puke. The dust is nice to smoke once your done with the stems and caps.

I would personally love to mix happy with trippy but i've never had the chance. I can imagine it though, the cool ego boost, where you just feel cool, with the visuals, probably intensified visuals since happys make colors VERY bright.

~Peace

[digital 3.0]

Acid is cool too, mostly its a good mixer drug. I think that shrooms by themselves are the way to go if you just want one drug, but if you really wanna start "flippin' trippin" try combinations like MDMA or MDA with Acid. Very amazing shit, hell last time I mixed, I did 2 types of E, 6 giant drops...and synthetic mescaline....which resulted in me rolling, and as they cid came on I knew I was in for a treat. I took the second e 30 minutes after my first 4 liquid drops, then 2 more liquid. I took the nexus at the same time as the second e bomb. After the cid reached around 2-3 hours, really not sure when it was, the nexus came in. The guy told me about 12 hour peaks, and that good shit comes on slowly. It took all night long of very very instense peaking, to reach the level of complete full blown lifelike visuals. I could determine faces, but there were melting snails everywhere like little ones the size of dimes, and bigger ones the size of feet. All different colors, but they all looked like they were melting, they looked what I can best describe as holographic. At first at least. Creatures started getting bigger, on 2 trees were snails the size of cars, with huge antennas and shit. The whole time I was talking to my friends with the clearest state of mind. Which amazed me that you can be in a clear state of mind while this shit is happening in your vision. If I didnt say anything you wouldnt even know im seeing anything different than you.

WELCOME TO THE NEXUS

[redpoppy]

LSD! xxxxxx :cool:

The most mind expanding, life enhancing, intellect increasing drug EVER!

And although people say its not natural, and therefore consider Shrooms somehow safer, i just dont agree. Peeps have been doing cid for half a century now! Its lovely! (And certain natural things are poisonous, equating natural to best for you isn't always right.)

And although shrooms are better (well certains shrooms) for introspective moments, Cid has a telepathic quality where you can be introverted with ALL your friends. Which is surely lovely! (and although sounds silly, is actually very mesmerisingly grand.)

And Cid is far more mentallly stimulating.

But this is just one persons experience.

I'm so damn sure it has something to do with your hormonal and chemical balances. HAvign said allthat, i dont know why, but it makkes me sad that Acid is losing in the poll.
:(
Stop offending the Cid people!
Its already so shy and difficult to find... you'll make it extinct if you're not careful!

[RELAYER]

yea yea, it get's old though.

[Schlüßelberg]

Definitely, I had a girl telling me a few weeks ago that acid stays in your spine etc but she could not offer any sort of explanation as to how this mechanism functions lol, and so I laughed at her and she got all on the defense "i go to medical school blah blah" the world needs doctors like that eh?
I've been out of circulation for a while, bro, good to be back.

Yeah, just what the world needs, more Doctors who know nothing about medicine. I've had to educate my doc about some basic things having to do with chronic pain and opioids. Sigh.

Here's something I don't quite get: this arbitrary distinction being made that Lyserg Suare Diethylamid is synthetic or semi-synthetic. Everything that occurs or exists in the natural universe is natural, by definition. No one can definitively say that LSD is not manufactured in some plant on a world in another galaxy, can they?

At any rate, I don't believe mushrooms would have resulted in the Summer of Love. LSD is energizing; it is a battery charger for the mind. That alone is enough reason for me to advocate that everybody of sufficiently mature mental status should take 250 mcg. of LSD at least once. :sunglasse

absofuckinglutely.

[Schlüßelberg]

Physically bad traits? You sure what you took was acid man?Really. Cause clean LSD just gives me (or gave me, like around 69 - 71 or so) a very slight adrenaline-like tension, and a little knot near my solar plexus (what Chakra is that? I forget) from around T = 00:20 to T= 01:00, then the head took over and AWAAAAY WE GO! DOWN THE CHUTE AND THRU THE LOOKING GLASS!

Clean LSD doesn't have hardly any body effects at all.

Two C-Ezzz, you're one of the very few on Hip.com I'd like to meet some day.

Tranquility and Satori, Komrade.

[Schlüßelberg]

I don't know... The fact that I'm unsure as to whether or not I should take it seems to be a bad sign. All I'd need is to pop in down my throat and have a panic attack.
It's possible to overthink the issue. My feeling is that LSD is a good tool for overcoming precisely those anxieties and fears that make you hesitate in the first place.

Don't take it just any old place at any old time. Set and setting are the concepts to keep in mind. Drop on a day (or early evening, my preference) when you are feeling really good about yourself, and your place in the universe. Do it in comfortable surroundings, with some relaxing music (or even sounds of the surf or rain forest) and some fresh fruit, plenty of clean, cool water, loose, comfortable clothing, lots of cushions and rugs, a place to do stretches and yoga ( I always enjoy the feel of stretching and flexing when I trip, including some Yoga poses), and hopefully with someone you trust who is warm, loving, and willing to do a little less than you, so you're on the same plane.

The whole point of using the Sacraments is to peel away the layers of the onion (your masks) until you come to the central "you"; the you that is part of the all, and that contains the all. "Thou Art God."

[TheMadcapSyd]

LSD

I've found acid to more of a "clean" trip you can say, more coherent in the mind I guess while stuff is just happening everywhere.

Shrooms though definitly give you more perspective, and send your thoughts racing every which way.

Shrooms also give you that unpleasent nausea when coming up, though pot can normally help that a great deal.

And frankly, you get more for your money with acid.

[blitz7341]

i love shroomz. never tried acid so i wont judge

[clementinexo]

i prefer acid. shrooms makes me really sick...

[blitz7341]

i cant vote cuz ive only done shroomz

[PsyGrunge]

tried both and would choose shrooms simply for the comeup!

[phoenix_indigo]

wouldn't pass up either if i got the chance again. done them both... like them both equally really. only don't like the nausea you get with shrooms.

[kidsmoke]

yeah, i dont know what bad traits you are talking about, but i feel more in tune with everything on lsd. On lsd, i talk more, and overall, its more of a drug a take with groups of people. While mushrooms for me is a lot more introverted. I dont know, but to for me mushrooms had more "bad traits". It's really all up the individual, as to what you like out of your trip.I couldn't agree more. Mushrooms make everything hazy and strange to me, and acid seems to be much more clarifying. I have only had one bad trip, and it was with shrooms. I can't imagine LSD giving me a bad trip, but if it did that would be the longest 10-12 hours of my life.

[sibannac]

MUSHROOMS!!!!! Although I love my psychedelics, and I used to be a major acid feind for years, I've seen the damage the stuff can do to your brain and it isn't pretty, and you can never guarantee the strength of the stuff which leads to some really bad trips for the inexperienced. I've known people who have ended up in psychiatric wards because of unstable LSD or unstable personalities set off by the acid.

But mushrooms, and indeed peyote, salvia and psych truffles are much better, you know how much you are taking and the high feels more organic, if that makes sense. The side effects are less harmful. You have MUCH more control over the strength and length of the trip with shrooms. LSD has always felt very chemical to me, manafactured and unstable like pills and amphets.

Mushrooms make me feel a part of nature, I feel like I fit in and that there is a purpose to life, things seem clearer and I have my little epiphenies which I like very much. I have made many good life choices while shrooming, and I certainly can't say the same for acid.

Long live Mushrooms!! :D

Long live Mushrooms!! :DI agree with this as well. I would take mescaline before LSD for the same reasons, but I much enjoy the control I'm in on acid as opposed to the lack of control on mushrooms.

[INSANEPOOKIE]

I'm unable to vote on this as it's laid out different for me. They really feel overall the same. There does seem to have this VERY slight difference in feel but I was pondering the chance that the difference may simply be based on the fact that I know LSD is man made and shrooms is a funky fungi.


To me:
If I can be of altered mind for over 8 hours without worry, LSD it is.
If I have less time, Shrooms it is!

Also it depends on what's available.

Long live Mushrooms!! :DThe effects LSD and mushrooms can have on the brain are quite similar and all mental, and LSD and psilocybin are even extremely close in chemical structure. And when taking shrooms you really don't know how much you're getting, yes you might know you're taking 4 grams or whatever, but shrooms are not the same potency across the board, you can take 4 grams of crappy shrooms and have a mild trip, or take 3 grams of great shrooms and trip balls for 5 hours.

And as for the nature part, wow, shrooms, they're from nature, they can grow in cow shit, animals can piss on them, and they look alot like many deadly poisonous types. Besides, the best shrooms, and most you'll buy unless you go shrooming are ones grown inside by people who know what they're doing.

[Pepopstico]

LSD is my first love. taking it after a long break is like going home. shrooms are nice too but it's just not the same for me. I vote acid.

[J311Mann]

Damn its almost dead even.. Ivoted shrooms..

[Hobes]

wow i am the deciding vote (for now)
acid-119
shrooms-118

[PsychMyke]

they both have their benefits i suppose, but to me lucy will always be the better of the 2

[kidsmoke]

^ Word.

I'm suprised acid made such a comeback. If I recall correctly, boomers were the favorite by quite a spread before.

[zenpuppetz]

acid is a lot more intense, it's easier to keep your sh*t together on shrooms, but i like acid better, too bad it's so much harder to find

[SeantyCooze]

Acid feels cleaner to me, yet very synthetic. Mushrooms feel a bit "dirty" as if it's a substance that your body shouldn't be injesting and is rejecting it (you know, more than all the other things it shouldn't be injesting and rejecting). Acid seems to have a less tendency to lead to bad trips, yet is longer so often trips start well but spiral in the end. Mushrooms tend to give me bad trips more than acid at comperable doses, but don't last as long. My vote goes to Acid. Both are very "heaven and hell" though.

[PsychMyke]

shrooms are kinda weird for me...acid is just heavenly, everytime i trip shrooms i always dwell on how much ide rather be on acid...sooooo much cleaner

[leba]

Shrooms for me, just didnt like acid that much..
took too long to come down from and the trip was too long in general.
Ive never experienced any nausea or stuff like that with shrooms, idk i just love them, nuff said :)

[Four Winds]

I vote for acid.

To me, shrooms are great, and more readily available around here than LSD, so I tend to trip on shrooms more frequently than acid, but if I can get it, acid is definitely the way to go.

I hate the emotional rollercoaster of mushrooms, and how you can be fucked with mentally so damn easily. On acid, I just kind of sit back and enjoy. The only thing I dislike about acid is the head congestion. I cant ever breath out my nose for shit on acid, and overall it feels like the whole high/trip is in my head, as opposed to shrooms where its throughout my entire body.

[Schlüßelberg]

I never had any congestion on LSD. That's definitely an idiosyncratic reaction. LSD is less somatic (less body load) for me. LSD is cleaner, and more easily directed, and I'm able to get more out of it than other psychedelics. It is more of a spiritual experience for me, and leaves me feeling more connected to the One, as it were. (See "Explorations in Awareness" by John Aiken, and Dr. Leary's early writings)

I will say that I have not fully explored 4-HO-DMT, and I've had quite a bit of LSD, so I may be a bit prejudiced. My most recent experiences have been with psilocybin, however, and they are fresher in my mind.

I am leaning towards rhythmic drumming in conjunction with psychedelics as a tool for opening the door. Read Mickey Hart's book.

I am also leaning towards some sort of formal ritual contextual training in the use of the Sacraments, rather than the more recent (last 30 years or so) suburban HS/college kid "hey, man, let's get loaded" usage. I just don't see the point in indiscriminate use any more. I was fortunate to encounter a couple "teachers" (NOT "gurus", NOT "shamans", but people who were a bit farther on the path that I was travelling than I), but I think that is exceptionally rare these days. In 1969, when I first "tripped", I had a companion who practiced Kundalini Yoga and was patient and gentle enough to "guide" me (although guide is not the right word at all). I get the feeling that that almost never is the case today.

Psychedlics are too important to be used casually, IMO.

[poopzilla33]

shrooms for me because to me they are spiritual

though acid is mucho fun

[in da snake]

I think acid is tested for more often in drug test, But shrooms are easaly found by doggys and take up more space...

[Ayzcrava]

Its still so extremely hard to decide which is better, I've done shrooms 13 times now and lsd 3 times, and I love both. I like the visuals on LSD a bit more, although magic mushroom visuals are absolutely beautiful too.. and the mindfuck on shrooms is incredibly funny although I've had funnier moments on LSD.
I really have no idea, but I prefer the fact an LSD trip lasts so much longer, shrooms are too short. SO.. acid gets my vote yeah.

[dacre4]

well ive never had shrooms. But i did vote anyway because i know which one i like better. LSD gave me the most happy feeling i have ever had, and i just cannot believe that shrooms could compare to such a blissful nirvana.

[hellixxx]

i've never personally tried acid..
but shrooms, i dunno, they let me down to tell you the truth. i've only tried shrooms with weed though, and the feeling is just like an intense weed high. similar sort of thought patterns as i have on weed, with minimal visuals.. are shrooms better when taken without any other drugs?
but i'll agree with ayzcrava that i wish the shrooms lasted longer as well.

[Greengirl]

mmm..i think i have to choose shrooms, coz they are the natural stuff.

[Ayzcrava]

I don't find my old post detailed enough, and also I did LSD 5 more times since then, bringing it on a total of 8 experiences with it.
I must say.. I prefer LSD visuals. I just love the patterns; they're so intense and moving and so real, and there's both images in it as just absact shapes and just actual fractal art. And the colours, and how stuff moves. And that I can see faces and eyes in everything. But most of all the beautiful patterns. And it lasts long, and on the peak its great to get the feeling of finding it hard to tell the visuals appart form the world, at times the world being mostly patterns that are just sort of .. world coloured.
I also prefer the body high, no rubber feeling but just light and floaty, and I quite like the feeling in my neck and head it gives me. Other then that I never experienced side effects of LSD. I also prefer the duration, as I like long trips. And the clear mental state yet feeling like a 6 year old on vacation to a newly discovered country is just fun. On LSD pretty much everything is interesting, and if its not interesting, its probably still funny. Mostly both.

But on the other hand shrooms.. shrooms make me feel like I'm in some bizarre absurdistic alien landscape. Everything looks more.. melty and shiny. The visuals are a LOT less detailed but there's also patterns and a lot of movement. Light seems to be even more shiny aswell. On mushrooms everythig seems like it makes no sense, like there's no boundarie between thoughts that seperate them. Its almost a bit of a messy mental high to me. I find the rubber feeling funny, but I dislike the slight nausea at the onset of it. But the bizarre alien feeling is what makes it so great. Duration makes it easier to just do them on a weekend night.

Even though I slightly prefer LSD; I seriously love shrooms. I voted LSD but its just hard to be sure of my vote. The mental effects are pretty different, even though there's huge similairities. I just like both a lot I guess.

[porkstock41]

Shrooms since its not chemical! :)
everything is chemical!!!

milk, water (H2O), everything you can see/touch is a chemical.

just so you know...

[porkstock41]

can somebody tell me about these physically bad effects with acid?


i've never done acid but i would like to, and before doing so, this might be some helpful info.

i've tripped shrooms three times and the last one (4th of july) i got that negativity bad at the end of the trip.
damn, this was A LONG time ago. By now I have done acid probably like 20 or so times shrooms maybe a few times less, any my vote...definately goes to....................
ACID!!!

the most simple distinction i can make is that shrooms make you feel kind of drunk with respect to your body control but while on acid you can pretty much walk around and control your body even though you are out of your head.

fuck all that synthetic vs. nature shit. when i eat acid i get no upset stomach at all (ok maybe a few times but it is very slight if at all). on shrooms tho i just start to imagine that these chemicals are trying to get me to lay down and die. i get like a bad mucousy taste/feeling and it is kinda freaky. shrooms are poison people don't kid yourself. neither of these drugs is good for you, but they are damn fun/enlightening and it's a choice you gotta make.

i like the more for your money arguement too. 30-40 bucks can get you like 3-5 tabs or an eighth. you will have a much better time with the tabs at least i know i would.

only had bad trip on shrooms too.

[RELAYER]

shrooms are poison people don't kid yourself.
So is any other chemical when you take too much, but
at respectful doses no, they are not poisonous. Magic
Mushrooms are just one of Mother Nature's fruits that
bless us with insight into Her love, but if you do not
bow in respect to her your only hurting yourself, as
Nature is both Creative and Destructive in, well, nature.

[porkstock41]

^^^

just meant it as "lay off of acid, it's not worse than shroom just cuz it's not natural."

acid could still be considered a gift of mother nature, we just had to tinker with what she gave us a bit, similar to beer, most foods we eat, etc....

[Floydfan21]

I like them both, but it depends on where I am. If I'm at a festival, acid for sure. It feels like a mix between E and mushrooms, and it lasts longer so I can stay up all night. But if I want to be chill and have a mellow trip, them mushrooms for sure.

[sweetdreamflower89]

i have tripped shrooms. It was great at first, I was visiting my friend at ECU and my two best friends drove up to trip with me, it was all awesome until we decided to go to pizza in. All the sudden i just got soo scared nothin made sense and i freaked out, my friend Ash told me to chill i'mjust tripping and Kristin was tripping too so she just laughed and couldn't function but i got so scared, then all the sudden it went away again and didn't comeback until later when i was in the bathroom by myself. I was peeing and felt the worst shock of terror ihave ever felt. When i heard Caleb's voice i was fine again. AFter that though it was hard to have a good time. I drank a lot with him and we smoked cuz that's supposed to help the come down but all the sudden i got really hot and couldn't talkand then i just ate shit on the ground an dpassed out. Then i saw all these bright lights but they hurt only the pink streaks were pleasant and i could barely hear him. It took about half an hour for my hearing to come all the way back. I was really into my mind and couldn't get out it really did scare me but only those few times. the rest of the trip was awesome. I saw the greatful dead poster the other day and it was so not the way i remember itcuz when i saw it i was on shrooms and it was amazing it was bleeding vibrant red andthe men danced and it was so fun to look at . but the other day it was boring and there was barely any color. So anyways my friend told me to trip acid which i have never done but i want to nowtoo cuz he said it's more of a trip and way easyer to control. so i honestly don't know. Shrooms freak me out ha ha i'lltrip them again in the summer but i think in winter was a bad idea because it was cold and i was at a strange place and nothing made sense and i just felt fear.

I still want to knowwhat that weird passingout thing was all about though...could be the mixing of beer, shrroms, and coke i donno if you do or that happened to you let me know cuz it was crazy

[sweetdreamflower89]

my shroomtrip lasted from 1 til11 at night so i donno that whole experience was really strange. i can't say i wish they 'd last longer cuz they lasted for whatseemed like forever and i definately remember asking it to stop but i did have a bad trip every once in a while. when it was good it was amazing though so i can't be to critical i'll just have to try it again haha

[sweetdreamflower89]

i was also with thisgirl that i hate andmakes me feel really weird about who i am because she always tells me to calm down and stop being so weird whenever i'mfeeling good andhappy so that probably just fucked me over i should havethought about it more ha ha

[sweetdreamflower89]

The weirdest thing about shrooms is that i thought about myself so muchand what makes me happy and now i wantto marry my boy friend andmove to costa rica, orsomewhere where i can live on an island i don't need much just food and a hammock to sleep inand i just want to have sex on the beach and sell oranges or wait tables. i don't want to go to college or have a life like that i just want to travel and see the warm places and goswimming

[dead_head90]

i dont no its a tough question. i like the shrooms because if feel really good and personaly i think there more predictable. but the come down can be shitty and i get though negative worthless feelings, unless i smoke a fat bowl. acid is great but the dosage is sorta unpredictable. i once ate 5 hits, gel tabs, felt real good pretty visual, then another time i was short on cash and only got 2 hits, blotters me and a friends each had one, i tripped outrageously for around 15 hours. all and all i think acid is a cheaper trip and id prolly go with that.

[maddhatter]

i like both equally. along with pot these 3 drugs are my favourite. both trips can be as intense and entertaining as the other if the doses are right.

i've only had one bad trip in my life and that trip was on mushrooms. acid gives me anxiety sometimes but i already got anxiety so the acid is probably just making it worse.

the plus side of acid is how cheap it is. in my area 1 hit of acid is comparable to 2g of mushrooms. mushrooms are $20/g and acid is $10/hit so the acid is a bit cheaper.

the thing about mushrooms i like is the fact that it grows from the earth. although i've never picked or grown my own mushrooms, i'm sure it's a hell of a lot easier than chemically making LSD.

[thereisnothere]

Shrooms is the effects like acid with out all the bad side effects physiclly and mentally (good way to put it)
I've had a couple of bad trips on shrooms. I much prefer acid.

[TheMadcapSyd]

Shrooms since its not chemical! :)Yes they are, psilocybin in the shrooms is what makes you trip, and on a molecular level psilocybin and LSD are incredibly similar.

[maddhatter]

^people always asume that because it's a plant that it must have no chemicals. unfortuantly that's not true at all. also, most chemical drugs are extracted from a plant at some point, so it may be even more pure than the natural stuff (such as weed and mushrooms).

[weedwhacker]

WOW look how close this poll is! i voted shrooms cause i just prefer them

[Elijah]

LSD-25 is way more potent by weight than Psilocybin is. but structurally they have a number of similarities.

Wow, this is a close poll. I voted acid. Shrooms are more mellow to me, meaning they are VERY POTENT and can take you out of this world, but they leave me mellow and tired. Shrooms does not last as long neither does the peak. I find that with LSD longer duration, peak and the fact is does not mellow me out that I gain more from LSD.

I recommnd trying both... both have pros and cons. Only you can deside what works best for you.

[somenerdyfreak]

for me, shrooms is more of a pot-esque type thing. its fun/funny. but acid is sooo much better, as it lasts longer, it numbs me (which is fun), it makes me loose and move like a snake, and god its great. i wish i could drop right now.

[bekyboo52]

i haven't done acid yet...

[bekyboo52]

now heres my hundredth post !!!!! yay im a member!!

[DeathByStereo]

never done acid

Did shrooms few times

there alright, was funny second time at a party, the 3 of us on them sittin at the table stairing at the floor

[raindrop6794]

for me, shrooms were a lot more intense than acid, and they made me feel extremely "organic," if that makes sense. i like them a lot, but only every now and then. acid is a more social/fun drug, in my opinion.

This epic poll needs to come back..................
