Tried twice--hated both trips

First trip was 1/3 an eigth about..hardly any visuals just my thoughts would get stuck in endless timeloops and I felt worthless.
Second trip 2/3 an eigth I had pretty incredible visuals...swimming wood grains, my ceiling was swirling around and faces of gods and goddesses were appearing to me in colors along with wierd designs. I turned into a tiger in the mirror and I saw all sorts of rainbow triangles . Depth perception was extremely distorted and my balance was off and about 2 hours into the trip I couldn't think right anymore..I couldn't drink anything and I was extremely confused..completely mind fucked.

My question...do shrooms provide the same feeling of realization as acid for you guys? For me it just left me really confused and dissapointed/angry afterward for both experiences. When I did acid I felt an unexplainable happyness for everything living, and the concept of 1 was evident through anything I could think of. I felt great for weeks afterward and my confidence in social situations increased dramatically. It felt very blissful...shrooms were chaotic and disorienting.

 

get the fuck outta here. i dont think you've tripped at all

 

I do think I prefer acid. Physically I usually have to constantly fight off the feeling that I am going to throw up with mushroom. I usually don't trip for as long or as hard either no matter what the amount (a full eighth or more) I believe this has more to do with my personal body composition. I agree with how you feel about acid and agree that I do not feel the same on shrooms and that it is not as good for me.

 

I def. tripped one time and thought I saw a goat made out of tar in a street moving. I knew it wasnt real but there it was, movin around.

 

I definitely prefer acid over shrooms. Shrooms are still natural and like most things in nature their trip is their self defense mechanism. Animals eat shrooms and feel confused and scared, this aids for them not to eat the mushrooms again. Well if you think about it, If your eating mushrooms your not just getting psilocybin, your getting all the other aspects of the mushroom which may or may not be positive towards a trip. Nausea is the most common negative side affect. I think their may be chemicals or parts of the mushroom that aid to negative trip effects.(This idea is a hypothesis, remember that) But, I myself have only had good trips on mushrooms but I could definitely tell how some might not enjoy it. To me, it takes you in circles quickly. Thought loops are usually happening consistently and the time dilation is so slow I find it to be a little creepy.
Now when on acid... to me the trip seems much happier and the visuals seem much more natural.

But as for the question...
It's hard to tell which drug will give you a realization. What I mean is realizations don't just come from the drug but from the experience. I could have two totally different types of realization on acid and shrooms respectively and then just say that one is good and the other bad, but that wouldn't be true. And as for myself I have enjoyed all of my mushroom trips so please don't get me wrong, I have no problems with them. But my preference will most likely always remain to be acid.

 

different things do different things to different people..some people get negative from pot, and some get really social, who knows. Just think positively I guess, and dont let the drug overtake you. But if shrooms dont make you happy, i wouldnt do them. Its that simple.
