acid vs shrooms

For me, acid seems more recreational, whereas shrooms are more spiritual.

 

Pretty accurate, in my experience. And yeah....shrooms tend to be more of a mind-fuck than acid is, which is why I prefer shrooms. They both make you trip, but shrooms seems "trippier", in the mental sense.

 

Exactly, and that's why LSD is like a laser light show of laughs, and mushrooms are Nature's way of telling you somethings wrong (I wonder if anyone here ever even heard that song?!) haha
God Bless ~

 

haha I never heard that song. Don't even know which song you're talkin about man. I still wanna eat about 7g of shrooms with a 10-strip of acid. That would be a nice trip

 

unfortunately the first time i ever tripped was on salvia

and i think that's all i need to say about that

however the second time was with shrooms, and it was lovely, however looking back on it i could have done so much more than i did while tripping (which was just watching ATHF and other cartoons -- and i know that sounds abhorrent to experienced trippers, but as i mentioned, my first psychedelic experience was with salvia, so i was sort of anxious and just wanted to take it easy)

however ^that being said, the shroom trip was great and even though all i really did was watch cartoons, so much more was going on inside my head, and i was so spiritually elated and for days after i felt so much more spiritually aware

it sort of led me on my still continuing religious journey (which has been much watered down as of late, sadly) of searching for truths in life and in dreams

but like i said, it's been much more watered down, mainly by my boring and bland lifestyle...

*sadface*

 

It's called Nature's Way by Spirit. Pretty obscure 70's folky tune, my dad used to play it and sing it to me on guitar when I was little falling asleep.
But yea that would just be amazing. I once took 2 hits of LSD and half way through ate actually 7 grams of mushrooms in chocolate, and that was enoug hto have me watching the row homes on my old block in S. Philly dance and strecth and they raised all the way into the sky to kiss the morning Sun as it leaked out of the horizon. Absolutley beautiful trip, until at around 8am when I had to lay in bed because my vision was overlayed with moving mandala's of sexual reproductive organs going into and out of themselves in groups of 8, like wathcing a satanic porn kaleidascope. Fucked up, but trippy as hell :tongue:

 

Haha classic right there man!

But seriously, if anyone bashes you for *wasting* a trip, then they are just complete idiots who need to mind their own business. Just because someone enjoys psychedelic drugs in a way they find suitable to their own comfortability and taste, does not mean they are wasting their trip. I mean that is just retarded.
Sadly, that is exactly the kind of response people get every day in the LSD forum. I moderate over there and love many of those posters as true friends, but some of those regulars a high strung, stuck up pseudo intellectuals who make LSD out to be some kind of god and they represent a cult to worship it. Pretty gay, ifn ya ask me, but I got to keep the peace.
God Bless ~

 

i guess that was my own sort of take on the experience, not that i wasted the trip, but that more could have been done...?

maybe i'm not even sure what i mean there

however, i do agree with you, which is also why i explained it how i did

at one point though, for a good while, we didn't even watch the actual show (ATHF) we sat and watched the dvd menu for damn near an hour (mainly b/c i'm convinced that whole show is out there for people on shrooms)

i mean, the title menu is just brightly multi-colored blocks and the background music is some guy playing his acoustic guitar really mellow and really gentle

it was the perfect moment in all reality

however, as i mentioned, it was the days after that were even better than the trip itself because of the way it sort of guided me throughout life for about 2 months

about a week later i had a dream where i'm 110% convinced i had an actual religious experience that only intensified everything i started to believe in

though...like i said, all of that has sort of faded into the background of my life and things haven't been like that since...

 

Well your busy right? I mean going to college if I remember correctly? You got a lot going on so for some people, the spiritual and metaphysical side of life is not what they need to focus on as they enter into full adulthood. I had a son when I was 20, and so my fun life and going to concerts, bars, hanging with friends and the like have not existed much for me for the past 3 years, so I've had PLENTY of time to sit around and meditate, and during the summer eat some mushrooms and watch the sky. We all have our own path, you know? And everyone's path is unique and special to that person.
God Bless ~

 

yeah, but i'm a religious studies major!

haha, which is why the summer is sort of boring for me, plus i don't know anyone here (i stayed, and have stayed since i got to college). i have no connections with people. plus, i'm still for some personally unknown reason a bit iffy when it comes to acid (which i think is relatively prevalent around here) but i would gobble up a bag of shrooms in a heartbeat. except, shrooms around here (at least for me, with my 1 actual connection) is like seeing 2 solar eclipses in one week

plus, i have no social life, and that's another downer

but i've realized i've turned this simple thread into something 1) too much about me, and 2) too much about me.

...

 

Cheers! haha

 

thanks alot to everyone who posted and gave me advice on this. i think i am going to pick shrooms RELAYER you made acid sound alot better to me than shrooms haha but i am going with the shrooms because it is a shorter trip and i think that with a long trip like acid i might be overwhelmed hopefully sometime later in life i will try acid but most likely not anytime soon.


but i would like to hear anyone who still has any other opinions about it and wants to post

 

My advice, as someone who's done both twice, is that it doesn't really matter. You'll have a great time either way. My LSD experience was more intense, but that had more to do with my circumstances than the drug itself, I think. I went into New Haven, and had some very emotional experiences as it was after graduation and I was seeing people that I would more likely than not never see again--at least not for a very long time. One of them was a girl who is a very close friend I kind of had a thing for--I'm sure you can see why experiencing these emotions on LSD would make for an intense and unsettling experience. It wasn't a bad trip. I had tons of great moments. I don't know how to explain it...it took me a few days to adjust with everything I had experienced during the trip. And, it was a shroom trip a few days later (2 gs) that helped me come to terms with my acid trip and be ready to try it again.

Okay, typing all ^that^ was really more for my benefit than anything else. But the point I intended to make initially was: Don't worry about it, you'll have a great time either way. Just do whatever you're more comfortable with, whichever entices you more. Read some trip reports on Erowid or something. If you really can't make up your mind, flip a coin.

 

And here's a report of my first shroom trip, which was much intenser than the 2nd one. I'm not sure if that's just because I ate less the 2nd time (2 grams as opposed to an 8th), or if there was some cross tolerance from the LSD. Or both.

I smoked a joint at 9:00 PM. Before it was time to eat the shrooms, I was distressed by some personal things. In fact, I'd been having a pretty bad day. But I worked out around 5:00 PM and after that I felt much better. I ate three Vitamin C supplement tables before ingesting the shrooms, because a friend suggested it. I decided to eat the mushrooms at 11:00 PM. I ate them, and waited for something to happen. I was in my room (I go to boarding school) with my roommate, also tripping, and two friends. We have a small room, with my desk on one wall and my roommate's on the opposite. Our beds are next to our desks. My roommate and I get along very well, we've been great friends since freshman year. It's hard to say when the hallucinations started. Someone once told me that shrooms were a spiritual experience. As a pretty convinced atheist...they absolutely are. At some point, I started to feel unbelievably happy. I was literally writhing in ecstasy. I wasn't aware that such a great depth of feeling was possible. I kept putting my fingers in mouth, and rubbing them on the area around my mouth. I didn't care about the saliva getting on my face at all. I was in a different state of being, almost regressing back to being in the womb or something. I would talk to myself for long periods of a time, perceiving some other entity that was channeling thoughts through me. I couldn't see it. I half knew nothing was there, but I didn't care. I was exploring myself, and everything I said just sounded like the right thing to say, and saying it was amazing. At some point, I decided to call one of my best friends, A. I told her that she was one of the people I'm closest to, and that “I need more of you in my life.” The depth of my emotion was so great, I felt like I had to share it with as many people as I could. They needed to understand what I was experiencing! I said to one of my sober friends, “Think about what happiness is. Then realize you have no idea what happiness is!” I can't even begin to describe the visuals. They were so far from my ordinary realm of experience I'm having a difficult time recalling them and picturing them in sober terms. There was colors, tons of colors. Things seemed to blend together. I definitely felt the sensation of “the pattern,” but it wasn't all I could see. As I lay in bed writhing I felt as though I were contorting my body so it would fit in with the pattern. I kept thinking I was on the verge of some transcendent truth. I would say to the entity, “Tell me! Please tell me!” I was also extolling the pleasure I was feeling. I literally said, “I am writhing in the carnal ecstasy of being!” I felt as though every fiber of my being were orgasming. At one point I exclaimed, “This is what Salvia is like!” I thought about the people who wanted to take this feeling away from me, the authority figures who've banned the use of psilocybin and other drugs. When I imaged people wanted to deprive me—or anyone—of this feeling...it made me want to cry. I don't know what else to write. Perhaps I will add more as it comes to my mind.



Oh and another detail about my acid trip: Looking into the mirror while I was tripping inspired me to shave my beard.

 

I tried acid first but,
What they call "acid" nowdays is often impure,
Its not really LSD.
I would recommend starting with shrooms since it's natural, and you know that its pure.

 

there is alot of good, real, lsd-25 going around.

 

New Haven? A fellow person from around here?

 

A former person from around there; I just graduated from Cheshire Academy which is in the town of Cheshire. Go figure. The night I tripped me and some friends smoked hookah at the Mediterranean in new haven.

 

true that man. i bought just one hit of lsd 25 at a Bob Weir and Ratdog concert last summer. i still think of the day i took that acid as one of the greatest days of my life. I wasnt really expecting to trip hard off one hit but i tripped my balls off and was just so incredibly full of love. It was one of the most mind bending spiritual experiences of my life.

Anyway for the thread, i think you should take shrooms. Acid makes you a little more hyped up than mushies. so if your worried about being loud or anything a slightly more chill trip on shrooms might be what you want. whatever you choose though, hope you have a dammnn good time.

 

And by a lot, he means a LOT! It's out there for us, that's for sure. Just a matter of time until you and lucy cross paths, that's all.
God Bless ~
