someone who has done shrooms and lsd..

I really want to get an idea of what acid is like. I just need someone who has done both to compare the two. My shroom trip was very inconsistent and mood changing. The trees and the sky were breathing and everything felt more alive. I felt really stoned after the peak, and it was similar to smoking a bunch of bud, but this is after the mushrooms' major affects. Everything felt like i was starting over in a whole new world.

If anybody who has done both mushrooms and acid, and has had a mushroom experience similar to mine, could explain their acid trip compared to the mushroom trip, that would be amazing for me because i have some gel tabs and i really want to know what it is gonna be like compared to my last journey.

 

I had similar inconsistent shroom trips in which I was vulnerable to my surroundings. I believe if I'd taken a higher dose, it wouldn't have been as turbulent. Out in nature on shrooms I felt a form of pure eternal joy. I thought it was great and that shrooms were a hell of a drug, but I couldn't define the feeling any bolder than that. I assumed since the experience involved a drug that the joy I felt was artificial. But many subsequent shroom trips I took proved that there was more to it than the fact that I took a drug. I didn't understand the sacramental nature of the psychedelic trip and that you're not introducing a foreign substance that makes your mind see stuff, but the drug dissolves certain psychological structures that are as artificial and interchangeable as a pair of socks, even if they seem to be our source of identity, place value and happiness. Once those walls are thinned the authentic, unadulterated self is introduced to your conceptual, rational self and any number of different degrees of self-dissolution can occur, depending on external variables and personal skills and state of mind.

anywho, acid seemed to get to the point better and the dual self was way more obvious. It was like I was getting direct lessons from that other self, literal and interactive, when shrooms were subtle and mysterious with exposing my other self to me. Also with acid I felt more in control of the trip, but only after I was willing to give up my ability to control it in human terms. To me, acid compresses a lifetime, death, exaltation and rebirthing for you to experience as an outsider in one day. Shrooms are capable of it, but it's more difficult with the high amount of material required for full effects, and shroom quality.

 

Shrooms taste bad and LSD just rocks your world.

 

:iagree: that's all you need to know

 

ok so, I got these shrooms from the same dude I got the acid from and I got 1/4 and split it in 1/3rds and we tripped pretty hard i suppose. I think they must have been pretty good ones, he also said I was getting hooked up when he sold em to me but I dont know for sure. The reason for all this is, what would you think about just taking one gel tab of the shit I got from this guy? I know the shrooms were bomb, so I think the lsd must be great lol. So if it is as you say, gonna rock my world, should I just pop one in under my tongue? I have 5 of them and 3 people so i dont know how easily we could divide a tab but maybe that could work. Also. Ive heard shrooms last around 8 hours. But the shrooms only really lasted like 5 hours and for the other few hours i just felt stoned. He said the acid should go 8 to 10 hours, so do you think, time wise, it will be similar to the shrooms or will i be pretty high for like 8 hours straight?

 

Hmmmmm.....Magic Mushrooms have always been my preference. Both for destroying the ego and for the euphoria afterwards. Cant have heaven without going through hell, is how I look at it.
God Bless -

 

i have only done rea; acid once, and while it was.... GREAT, i prefer to waste my time cultivating mushrooms... i mean, they are... wow.
dude, just do 'em both, and find what you need.

 

yes expect the plateau of acid to last 8+ hours...

 

i find that shrooms tend to break things down (you can think about real specific things but have trouble synthesizing that into a coherent whole) whereas acid seems to build things up (you can look at concepts holistically). personally, i vastly prefer acid. after my last few acid trips, i'm considering giving up shrooming, actually. (if you recall, leary was originally reluctant to try acid after his first few psilocybin trips, assuming that tripping was tripping. once he gave it and tried acid, he pretty much dropped mushrooms like a hot potato- this is how i feel.)

i tend to get a lot more synaesthetic on mushrooms, but get crossing of emotion with senses on acid (not sure if this is called synaesthesia, but essentially my thoughts and emotions might take a visual or even musical form rather than lingual. very hard to describe, but it only happens to me on acid really).

visually, i get a lot more angular hallucinations on acid, but there are a lot of similarities here. i get a lot of visuals out of the corner of my eye on acid, not so much on mushrooms.

they are really fairly similar, and the differences are such that they are incredibly hard to describe (given how difficult the psychedelic experience in general is to describe, its even harder to describe subtle differences between types of psychedelic experiences).

 

acid is like the more intense, more energetic, longer lasting shroom trip. i feel as though shrooms have a more euphoric feeling, and each thought is thought upon longer and more in depth. acid has a milder euphoric feeling, and thoughts tend to circulate. visuals on acid are usually clearer than shrooms. although at higher doses it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between trips, i sometimes find my self going this acid is great, when im on a high dose of mushrooms.

 

ok well people have responded about the differences, and it seems you are ready to try the lucy. Here's my question, if its gel it should be fairly dank, but it also seems like you trust the dealer. Do you know him well, cuz if so I'd ask if he knew the microdots...sure he could lie, but if his shits decent he shuoldnt have to. Would you feel comfortable doin that? and second question, there are three of you and 5 hits, do the other two people really want to take two each, or could you take 2 if thats what you decide you want? And if its dank 8hrs should be the minium. The longest trib i've had was 18 hrs, but that was strange...I'd say average about 10 hrs maybe 12...

oh and you did mention mood changes, lucy seems to be a much more friendly drug, it gives off happier, friendlier vibes if that makes sense.

 

The way LSD affects me is a very vibrant, cheerful, imaginative and energetic trip. Magic Mushrooms are like fucked up voodoo magic, but in the end, the mushrooms always bring me closer to God and when they wear off bring me a higher sense of well being and more in tune to Mother Nature. I love them both, but I've long been a mushroom fan.

 

someone just needs to synthesize a potent psilocybin extract fused to the lsd at a molecular level, already.

 

you should study chemistry and do that ^^ for the good of all trippers

 

yes i indeed should. i'm sure there's lit about that very thing. I took a chem class at a community college and though I got an "A", didn't feel like I learned very much. Who needs school for learning anyway?; it takes the fun out of it.

 

alright thanks alot, any more info would be good but i think i got it. I cant wait to try lucy out. the thing i am most worried about is how it isnt as natural and if i have a heart problem, which i do, i really dont want it to have stimulating affects on my heart rate or anything dangerous like that. I doubt it because its not that type of drug but im sure itll be okay.. Oh, and what was the longest "peak" or actual trip you have experienced? 'Cause I know on mushrooms i "peaked" pretty hard for like only about 2 or 3 good hours, and the rest wasnt as intense..

 

OK, I'm not reading the posts above, but I'm gonna chime in with my opinion.

First off, the body load is much different. On mushrooms, I always feel kind of like Jello, until I get up and do some shit. Acid feels much more electric. You'll probably have all kinds of energy. Acid tends to make me talk a lot, too. Mushrooms tend to shut me up.

The head trips are close, but not quite the same. You're still going to feel loopy, maybe more so, but it seems like your thoughts are clearer. Not that you won't think of pure nonsense like you will on mushrooms, but those moments of clarity seem to last longer. LSD also seems to make me more comfortable with meeting new people. Mushrooms tend to make me focus on myself. That's the biggest difference, IMO. Mushrooms are for learning about yourself. LSD is for learning about the world around you. DMT's for learning about what runs it all, but that's another thread.

The visuals are kind of similar. You're still only going to have morphing, patterning and distortions, but they're a little different. Where mushrooms tend to have more things like vines & animals in earthy colors like deep reds, dark greens, golds, that kind of thing, LSD is more like looking through a kaleidoscope. It tends to be brighter, with lots of blues, bright reds and yellows. LSD tends to give more distortion compared to patterning than mushrooms.

Obviously, LSD lasts longer and takes longer to come on. Sometimes I'll be at the tail end of an acid trip and just want to sleep. That's a common problem. Not so with mushrooms. I usually find myself wishing I wouldn't come down.

Mushrooms can give people GI discomfort, especially in higher doses. Not so with LSD.

 

I prefer L to mushies. when I dose mushies I get a super mind fuck. L seems to me a more clear headed associative trip. Ive found myself I like to be at home chillen on boomers or by a fire. L gets me ina party type mood. But im am sure there are many factors if any thing start low and slow and work your self up to high doses. Good luck!

 

I would suggest you try both acid and mushrooms together. It will give you unique trip that can't be expirienced if any of them taken alone.
