Okay, so I have done a lot of drugs in my day but the two drugs i haven't touched are acid and shrooms. I want to try them, but im not sure which one i want to do first. What i have heard from a bunch of friends is that shrooms are more like an outside body trip. And acid is like an inside body trip. Is that a main difference between the two trips? What do you guys think i should do for a first timer with the two? thanks!
hey hey, you should probably shroom first seeing its a much shorter trip, around 6 hours compared to 10-12 for cid, and so yeah if its your first time itd probably be a bit easier to get overwhelmed with acid's length, thats why im doing shrooms for my first trip this august, and because they look cool haha. i havn't experienced either yet, so i cant really tell you what they both feel like properly, but you tend to hear that shrooms are a bit more spiritual (another reason im going with the mushies), that they take you where they want you to go, as opposed to acid which seems to be a bit more easier to control what your seeing/thinking about. id say go with shrooms your first time, but itd be best to work it out yourself by reading trip reports and FAQ's on websites such as eworid.org and shroomery.com to find out what would suit you better.
I've peronally never done acid but have had fun on shrooms, from what I hear from my friend who have done both is the latter is more calm and colorful and cid is (so I'm told) alot stronger If given the choice I'd try shrooms first but for no other reason than thats what I did, and they're mighty fun! I might do acid now if I ever stumble upon some...
Acid was described by me and my partner simply as the "uber" because of how hard it can make you trip with little discomfort and for how long it makes you trip (Theres no off button! Fuck!). A lower trip is much easier to control and is hella fun in many settings. Shrooms on the other hand can be a laughing riot but higher trips can be difficult as they show you who you really are. shrooms also make you hella lazy and you will probably want to lay down. sometimes i can get restless on shrooms because i want to do something but i just cant because im tripping and the visuals distract me. both can make you temporarily insane so be careful and try to trip with someone who's done it before because they'll have better knowledge on what to do to avoid a bad trip/help you so you dont die if you lose touch with reality (i.e. suffocating on a pillow, or harm yourself or others).
trippedelia: Thanks for the info. I have heard of erowid, but not the other site. I will check it out. cawwy: thanks for the advice... i think im leaning towards shrooming first, but still undecided. meatwagon499: Thanks for the info too. When i plan on tripping, I will have my boyfriend right by my side and he has done both. He told me i should do acid first, but he said the choice is mine and im trying to figure out which one i want to try.. get as many different views on the two.
Okay, Heres the thing, although Shrooms and LSD have very similar effects they are usually quite different and most people realise this and prefer one to the other. I still can't figure out what type of people are which but there are some who LOVE LSD and thoroughly dislike Shrooms (although shrooms come in so many variations that that can be a brash statement) and also people who LOVE shrooms and thoroughly dislike LSD. There are obviously people who fit in between the love and thoroughly dislike camps, some who love/like both and those who hate both etc. Point being, If you're a person who LOVES LSD and you tried Shrooms and had a bad experience... 1. You may be put off the whole psychedelic thing and not want to do LSD. 2. You might not. Anyway (heh heh, I'm obviously no genius) If you are put off, you might be wrong in being so as LSD has a different effect to shrooms and you might love one and hate the other as mentioned earlier. However, if you were one of those people who would have liked LSD you may have your experience tainted by the bad shroom experience. However, let this not put you off too much, what should put you off is if you are not mentally stable and not content for the most part in your life. Being generally a happy person and having a positive or at least an aware and realistic outlook helps. The initial giggling takes care of the mood most of the time (although not all shroom or people have this happen) Also if you have a high level of self awareness and can tell yourself that you are on mind expanding and altering substances, you can ease your own fears. Being with someone you trust and are unlikely to get paranoid around is a BIG plus. Lastly, If you are going to do LSD, try dropping the tab before noon, preferably by about 10am as a good nights sleep will be difficult if the thing works, unless it has worn off by night time. And a good night’s sleep is always a good thing. I doubt I’ve helped, but just thought I’d put some opinions out there. I don’t know the rules of this forum but know ones of others. So I’d just like to say, lease do come and share your (or someone you know’s ) experiences!
in my opinion they have the same effect, just a bit different. one time on shrooms after the peak if i had not know what i have taken i would have recognized it as low dose lsd. It was just goin down faster. This 2.5 g of standard shrooms was like an average hit of lsd. I found mushrooms to be hazy , kinda. But its just a matter of dosage i think, It was just low tripping. My lsd trips are always stronger. If i ate a quarter of shrooms then it would be different I guess. both can make you lose control and bring you to the state of ego loss, if ya like.
I suppose the best i can nexplain although this may not be everyones experience: Mushroomms are more internala nd peolpe can become very introspective. LSD also allows for this, but also, when people do LSD together there is a sense of group experience. At times it can be considered almost telepathic. (and apprently people attempted to do tests on telepathy in the 60s) .
they are similar to an extent....but only on lower doses ime. lsd and shrooms are worlds apart in both effects and expiriences on high doses. lsd has always been my favorite, for no particualar reason i guess other than i fit more comfortably into its frequency than other psychedelics.... mushrooms have been opening up to me more lately though. once i realized the alchemical transformation taking place inside my body they started communicating powerful truths in a form of telepethy. which has been far out.
those visuals....(im assuming your talking about the sacred geometric patterns) are everywhere, tripping or not. everything in nature follows similar basic patterns, its the blueprint of our 3D playground if you will.
yeah thats what im talkin bout!!! the ones you can give a thousand titles some subtances though try to recreate them geometrical patterns but they just cant
Well I did acid first of any psychedelic and I loved it. I've also done shrooms and I loved that too, but I think I liked how acid felt a little more, just a personal feeling though. I actually thought the trip for shrooms was too short, but then again probably cause I was used to acid, which I actually wasn't completely down until 14 hours cause I was so into it, hehe. Anyway, either one for first time I think is cool as long as you have to right mindset and setting.
well. It would be tomorrow... all my friends are tripping, but i have to go to seattle over the weekend with my family. So probably the weekend after that. Graduation weekend. We are going camping.
