ok so this weekend me and my buddy are goin to trip on acid for our first times.....we are each doing 1 hit.my friend was the one with the connect but he said he knows a person who took a hit from the same batch,and that its pretty quality acid. now im not an amature when it comes to getting fucked up. ive done rolls,xanax,opium,and shrooms all a whole bunch of times,and the most ive ate was 1/8 of the most potent shrooms ive ever come across.....im just wondering how much more intesne acid is,and is there and differant aspects of it then shrooms? sorry for the horrible grammar
As with any drug, every one of us is more sensitive to certain chemicals and more immune to certain chemicals. In my case, magic mushrooms bend my world over in a manner much more intense than LSD ever has, but every time I voice my experience Im confronted with waves upon waves of adversity. It's impossible to say in all honesty, and though there are definite differnences between the two drugs, they are not worlds apart. They compliment each other, which obviously you can only understand once you try them both. Chances are however that if you enjoyed magic mushrooms you will most likey fall in love with Lucy as well. Good luck and have fun! namaste -
thanks for the reply, and i LOVE shrooms.....better then anything else ive ever done. someone once described acid to me as shrooms but only balls to the wall....is that accurate? because if so i dont know how much more intense its gonna be then the time i ate an 8th of shrooms
unless you got great shit, an eight of shrooms will be quite a bit more intense than a single hit. This is of course assuming your mushrooms were good, and that you have a typical body chemistry. acid is a lot more alien feeling, in that shrooms just feel natural, but acid is very surreal. Youll know what I mean after youve tripped, its really hard to explain. as for the qualitative differences, acid is a lot more disassociating and shrooms are more colorful. theres a crap ton more, but we havent created words to describe them yet.
Well acid lasts a few hours longer on average, the comeup is much less intense, but for most people the visuals get much more intricate and complex than with mushrooms. There is typically no nausea with LSD, but much more energy. The mentality is a bit more on the insane side, but in my opinion this is only because the LSD doesnt overwhelm your body load and make you clutch yourself in pain like mushrooms can on the occaisional rough trip. Overall I would say LSD is a much more 'comfortalbe' trip, if that makes sense, both sensationally and mentaly. Whereas mushrooms beat the mental shit out of us. LSD can do the very same thing in fact, but it's generally a bit more peaceful and the visuals are spacey and floaty, while mushroom visuals are melty and distorted. The patters are still the same, but with LSD more people see fractals. My visuals are much more intense on mushrooms but according to most people I've spoken with, I am super sensitive to them while they trip way harder from L.
I agree, but I would have to say that even though this is true, the feeling LSD leaves you with tends to be more pleasant than mushrooms, like it is alien feeling but a friendly alien. While mushrooms are more "I know this feeling, somehow its familiar..." yet the introspective bit right before the peak conquers your awareness is, at least in my case, a much harder struggle and is always defeating. With LSD I always get the feeling that if it gets too intense, I can make it calm down (only once I wasnt able to, and actually it was the shit!) while with Mushrooms, I feel like Christ when He said "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit, for the next 6 hours". King James on Drugs version.
i think i may know what u mean about the whole shrooms thing....ive been on trips before that have gotten REALLY intense to the point where i dont know if im enjoying myself anymore,but i think part of the reason was because my mind was running so fast,and everything was hard to do and chaotic etc (not to say it was a bad time because i know how to control my trips pretty well) so if ur sayin acid is less of that then i should be in good shape.
Personally, I would say that sums up what Im saying and I agree. BUT on the other hand, dont jump in with any preconceived notions, you know? Just take it, you know already that you not only can handle but enjoy shrooms, and just let it flow. If you get uncomfortable, let the negativity just pass, it always does and if you allow it to run it's course it always turns positive in no time. LSD teases us like that, one second you think your dying and the next you love being dead, and then the next your laughing at how dumb you must be for believing that you were dying :tongue:
assuming that is decent acid and the eighth of mushrooms was good, then one hit should be good for a first time. i had one hit my first time, and i hadn't tried any psychedelic before that. so you should be good. have fun man
lol thanx for the help man. u just like lifted a weight off my shoulders. people i talk to that have taken acid are always like "bro u dont even know what tripping is until uve done acid its way more intense then shrooms etc" but i know what u mean about "jumping in with any preconceived notions" and now i cant wait to try it out
yea acid is waaaaay more intense than mushrooms lol. mushrooms just for the most part warps everything and makes it move and breathe. acid is kind of like that except the mental high is alot stronger and, unlike shrooms, when you look at things they can actually do something and/or turn into something else.
from me and my friends supporting opinions: mushrooms arent nesecarily better to do before lsd. we found mushrooms to be a pretty rough twisted fucking little trip, felt like we were gonna go mental and smash down peoples windows and attack them, couldnt figure out how to use a swing. not many awsum visuals, mostly seeing patterns from in your mind being hardcore layed out over your eyes. jumbled, not much clarity. doesnt give you any energy. mushrooms feel like a drug. lsd doesnt really. in some ways mushrooms make you just trip some jumbled mind crap, but lsd puts your mind into overdrive and your seeing things in such an amazingly detailed eye-openening jaw dropping way. one that changes the way you think and percive. lsd on the other hand. the clarity is incredible. the hallucinations are intricate to not being able to distugush what your seeing as real or not. untill you get closer and are like wtf. (on hi doses) lsd is crazier, much more likely to have amazing revelations on. and life changing experiences. acid will change you more. mushrooms are more somthing that fucks with your head. like pcp or dxm. no where near as bad tho. mushrooms still have some insight and good things about them. comparing my hi dose lsd trips and my hi dose mushroom trips. there is just no comparison. shrooms having nothing on lsd. acid is the most increible discovery. in a leage of its own. not just a common drug. somthing special.
i guess you could compare it to ritalin and crystal meth. hear me out. you can take a hi dose of ritalin and be really hi but not have near the clarity and confidence you could get on a small dose of crystal meth. you take a small dose of crystal meth, and your allready leaps and bounds over what you experinced from the hi dose of ritalin. if you only ever took ritalin you couldnt have imagine how good crystal was. now imagine ritalin is mushrooms and crytal is lsd, however multiply the differnce in effects by 100, or 1000. and there you go.
lmao i love that about acid. the farther away you get from something, you start hallucinating more shit on it, and as you get closer they start disappearing lol.
yeah. i remember driving the other week, and it was the worst. i kept slowing down to a crawl, i kept seeing things everything to a certainty that they were there. i saw people coming in and out of cars, and people strapped onto windscreens and lots of other weird shit. not to mention the amount of detail the car feeds back to you when your brain is overloading the information. you feel the car. thats crazy enough on its own.
you must have either a) not had enough shrooms, or b) had weak ones, because you have the descriptions backwards. LSD may be more potent that psilocin, but shrooms are actually far more hallucinogenic than LSD. where as acid peaks in its effects at around 650mics (taking any more is a waste.. it prolongs the experience, but doesn't intensify it), the more shrooms you take, the stronger the effects get (until you basically black out). the reason for this is, LSD oxidizes into an inactive metabolite. psilocybin metabolizes into psilocin (which is active, and passes unchanged through urine), thus the more you take, the more of an effect you get. taking more acid, than say, 10 or 12 hits, is just an utter waste. taking more shrooms than 12 grams is just psychotic. so, try a couple grams of p.cyanescens, or better yet, p.azurescens , and then try to claim that "acid is waaaaay more intense than mushrooms". when terrence mckenna wrote "true hallucinations", he was writing an ode to the mushroom.
