    Hey guys I really want to try LSD or shrooms, or maybe both. I've been doing a lot of research on the two for a couple months because they really interest me a lot (and I don't mean just the visuals). Here's the thing though, call me a pussy if you want, but I'm nervous about losing contact with reality or not being able to control myself during my first trip because I would most likely be around other people at some point. So my question is, which one would be easier for me to control myself? I've read that LSD gives a more "clear minded" trip than shrooms, but I just wanted some other people's opinions. Thanks in advance.

    Dont be afraid :) . Odds are tripping is nothing like what you think its going to be like. Just stick to a resonable dose your first time, make sure you're in a comfortable enviroment and everything will be ok.

    Personally, Id recommend lsd over shrooms... but you're going to hear both sides of the argument on this one.

    id recommend try mushrooms first, but this varies alot from person to person, but to me it seems like if your worried about having to strong of a trip a nice 2-2.5 grams of mush will give u a nice taste of what tripping is all about

    it's easy to say just don't be nervous but many experienced trippers still get nervous about the thought of leaving their reality and self. but the truth is, you don't leave yourself, you actually go to yourself; your cultural conditioning or neural wiring gets dissolved and you get to redefine yourself based on what and who you are internally. Nothing will come your way that's not a manifestation of your mind, same goes for real life I guess. Knowing that our current reality is just one of infinite possible realities eases the process. If you're eager to know more about your inner self and you trust yourself, there's nothing to fear.

    If you've done research you probably know what to expect. I would take acid over shrooms any day because it lasts longer and "gets to the point" better, but shrooms are loads of fun at any dose. I had dozens of shrooms trips without really understanding what they were, but the first time i took acid I finally felt like I "got it", when I wasn't even looking for anything.

    I know I've probably made several references to it but you , imho , haven't tripped til you've mixed the two. It's amazing.

    If you consider yourself what some would call a "psychonaut" , you've gotta do this at least once.

    ^huh... I'll take that into consideration. I guess I focused on acid vs. shrooms to the point I didn't think of acid plus shrooms. My friend actually texted me not more than ten minutes ago saying he got some shrooms.:conehead:

    Yeah as someone else mentioned, try shrooms first. Its a more euphoric/happy trip. If you start having a bad trip, you can easily bring yourself back.....whereas on acid, if you have a bad trip, you just have a bad trip and especially if its your first time, you won't be able to control it. Controlling the trip takes practice and is best done on shrooms.

    Heres the rundown between these two fantastic psychedelic medicines:

    For a more calm and reletively smooth transition between the realities choose Psilocybn. This will allow you to visualize many vast arrays of patterns and colors aswell giving you a chance to delve into reality and taking apart the pieces to analyse nature.

    For a more quicker more intense trip choose LSD. Opposed to mushrooms, the patterns aswell as the ability to analyse reality are superb.

    Both will allow you self-reflection and discovery, I can't choose one or the other.

    honestly, every person will react differently to both. From what I know and the conversations I have had with others, people often prefer whichever they did first. In my opinion I would reccomend lucy, but again I did it first. People will tell you many different things. I've never had a bad trip, but for me shrooms seemed like they would be more likely to elicit a negative trip...shrooms send (me) into my head...which is okay, but I can see how it can be scary...However, shrooms can be hilarious and give you mad visuals.

    On the other hand I really can't explain how much I like lucy. For me it's always smooth, visually intense, but also mentally intense...haha

    sorry..i'd say lucy, but honestly don't think about the decision too much. Just make sure you are in a good mindset, and around people you like, trust, and will help you if you need them!

    GOOD LUCK!!

    There is no way to say which is definitively better. Due to the differences in each individuals body chemistry , they are incommensurable. I’ve had shrooms that have made me trip harder than some gel tabs. And vice versa. I find that when I take generous amounts of both simultaneously , I become more insouciant. Furthermore , once you learn how to tap into , and control , your subconscious feelings , thoughts , and impulses , you will come to appreciate the perfect mix of incessant introspection accompanied by spectacular dynamic visuals.

    One day I hope to mix shrooms with peyote or extracted mescaline.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. :cheers2:

    I've read that it's easier to control a trip on LSD than shrooms. Do you guys find that this tends to be true?

    for me, yes! Although I can control both. But again people are likely to give an array of answers.

    .

    .
    You will have a bad trip if you don't change your mindset. The fear, the attachment to the real world and what's firmilliar, that's what confuses you and fucks everything up. Clear your mind before you expand it.

    I feel that I have more control on LSD than on shrooms, but I'm more aware of the large responsibility of controlling it. I shroomed years before I took lsd, but I'd still take lsd if it had to be one.

    My friend who sometimes gets weirded out on cid took shrooms last night with another friend who had a hard time on acid. They had a much smoother time and achieved more personal insights and it was much more positive for them. Realizations were made and tears were even shed apparently. It's great that we have all these different tools to act as keys to the mind.

    I really want to combine cid and shrooms. should I eat them both together or eat the cid then eat the shrooms when i'm peaking? any thoughts?

    Eat them both at the same time. At least that's how I do it. Man if you do it you gotta post your experience to let everyone else know how good it is. It truly is the trip of a lifetime. I can't say enough about it.

    The first time I took both at the same time , it was the first time I took acid but I had taken shrooms several times before. I took 5 blotter hits covered with artwork and all those little bells and whistles. I sucked on them for about 20 seconds and could taste the slight bitterness , then I ate a quarter of lab shrooms. It may sound excessive but that much shrooms is average for me. I ate it all in about 5 minutes (the shrooms were eaten raw).

    Then I did the best thing you could do after you eat a psychedelic substance(s) , I completely forgot about it. I smoked a fat ass blunt of some headies in memory of my friend who's funeral I had just attended hours earlier. The blunt burned for about 30 minutes and I was already feeling "funny", to be euphemistic about it.

    Most of my shroom trips started out with hysterical laughing which brought on the visuals. Not this time. I was conciously acute to the sudden changes in colors and movement.

    I really can't explain how strong the visuals are , not to mention the explicit introversion it provides.

    sounds wicked fun. I also think it might provide a lubricant to the lsd with someone who normally has a more turbulent time on just acid
