definitely do mushrooms first but dude by any means don't pick your own bad trips on acid have the potential to be alot worse than those of mushrooms. mushrooms dont have the mind controlling capabilities like acid does. i had a bad trip on a quarter of mushrooms and it wasn't as bad as some of my bad acid trips. i mean i got fucked up but i just stayed in my house and went through with it. i've had some bad trips on acid where i didn't know what the hell was happening. like i was being controlled by a supernatural force.
Also, since the mushroom vs acid thing came up, I direct people back to this old but awesome thread: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=98237 (giant acid vs shrooms poll/thread) I say cast your vote people who haven't yet, cause most polls on this place make it up to like 42 votes, this one is at like 340.
I have only done acid once, never shrooms. I did 2 hits and walls were moving, my cell phone was melting in my hands and this puddle of water looked like a fish. It lasted at least 10 hours and I loved every second of it. I would recommend the acid first.
i suppose we all have different experiences with the two...but i mean would you rather have a bad trip for 10 hours or 6? lol that's kind of common sense
I'd rather have no bad trip, but the one thing I've noticed is once you start having a bad trip on shrooms there's no coming back, acid you can switch back and forth pretty easily, often just by changing the environment
eh i kinda think they're both the same regarding coming out of a bad trip. it just depends on the dosage and set/setting. i've had times where i've gotten out of bad trips without much difficulty and other times where it was impossible. my most recent acid trip (which is when i decided i'm never doing it again) was the worst trip of my life. i did 5 hits of the most potent tabs i've ever come across and i was fuckin GONE. at first it started off fun like it usually does and as i reached the peak it just went to shit. i came across a picture of my brother who passed away last year and i'm pretty sure that's what triggered it but like check it out...i thought i was dead and i had to meet my maker. so i didn't know if i was going to heaven or hell. to reassure myself that i was dead i kept doing shit to cause pain but i never felt anything so i was like "yep i'm dead." i jumped out my first floor window onto concrete...jumped through my front door...jumped through the glass on my back door...and finally ended up getting hit by a car. luckily it wasn't going very fast and i kinda like got up and limped away. i punched my friend in the face when he tried calming me down cuz i didn't know who he was. a majority of my trip was running up and down the street screaming for help while hearing voices in my head. when the detectives finally came to restrain me, after fighting off about 4 of them they managed to cuff me and throw me into the back of an ambulance because i was all bloody. that was it. once restrained in the ambulance i thought it was the devil taking me to hell. the eternal pain of being hooked to a machine and cuffed by the wrists/ankles. man was that fucked up. this would be an example of being controlled by a supernatual force heh however, my very first acid trip was a bad trip on one hit of some weaker tabs but it wasn't nearly as bad as the one i just told you about...just some bad vibes and shit. some paranoia and aggression. it wasn't hard to come out of and eventually turned into a very nice trip. like i said, it's all about dosage and set/setting. speaking of set/setting, that 5 hit bad trip was indoors because it was raining really bad out. another thing which probably played a role in bringing it on.
I have never done shrooms but also I have never had a bad trip from acid, after dosing at least 15 separate times. Shrooms are the next drug that I am gonna try.
I agree with you. I've never had a bad trip on anything, but shrooms come with a MUCH more intense mindfuck quality than acid does. Bad trips are probably more likely on shrooms, but a bad trip on acid would last longer, so it kinda balances out.
damn i couldn't believe seeing this thread up again i hardly remember posting it. i've done shrooms a good handful of time since then and i feel like acid is alot less mind fuck on me and is more calm. as long as i don't have to worry about any responsibilities my trips are usually smooth sailing.
I'm pissed I didn't get a chance to try acid this summer. I was planning on it, but then I found out my dog has cancer and I avoided it because it was making me so upset. I'm back to my completely emotionally level self now, but I missed my chance for a while.
never done lsd but shrooms a few times love tripping on shrooms especially with a few other ppl makes it even more trippy
shrooms for me were great with other people, but NOT alone, when i tripped alone i got real depressed and it wasnt fun but shrooms and acid are two completely different things, both can be good and can be really bad i wont tell you you should go trip becasue only you know for sure if you re ready, but i will tell you you need to know some things before you do trip 1. are you physically, emotionally and maturely ready to handle an intense trip without loosing your cool 2. are you ready for the chanes that will occur after you trip, you will not be the same, it could be good or it could be bad. 3. do you know enough about shrooms/acid, if not research it looks at trip reports be ready for the experience 4.know the potency of what you are ingesting, dont expect that all acid and all shrooms are the smae 5. be 150% sure you know you want to trip
I've done both mushrooms and acid a handful of times this summer and from my experience, I prefer acid mostly because my stomach tends to get upset after eating mushrooms. I've never had any bad side effects with acid, but then again the only acid I've had has been very pure. If you get hooked up with bad acid, you're not going to know until you take it. Your best bet is to make sure you're getting your acid or mushrooms from a reliable source, not some random mutha fucker.
