Which do I try first? LSD vs. Mushies

I've been smoking marijuana for a while. I think I'm interested in trying a psychadelic.

I've got a few friends who have done shrooms and LSD, and while some say shrooms are the logical next step for me, some say that LSD is better to try first as it's less likely to experience paranoia, and it's less likely to make you sick as well.

Can you guys give me some advice? Include your own personal opinions and experiences. I'm in a hurry to decide.

And also, as any other 16 year old, I have parents who wouldn't take kindly to finding out that I do this stuff, so give me some tips as to where I should be when I try either one; who I should be with; and anything else.

Thanks.

 

shrooms. much less intense of an experince, not a lesser experince just not as much to handle as much.

 

It depends. Why do you want to try psychedelics? Just to try a new drug? Because you want to hallucinate? Maybe you want to explore the spiritual aspects of it? There are a million reasons that people trip. Different drugs are good for different things.

 

From what ive heard from people that have done both, Acid is actually easier to handle than shrooms.

 

dude dont listen to what people say about whats gonna happen or that one is better than the other. you just got to try one of them. shrooms are what i did first and absolutely loved it, ate an 1/8 and had an awesome trip. had many awesome boomer trips before i did acid. that was also awesome, a little different but equally awesome. one thing i do know is when i am on shrooms everything is crazy, when on acid i am a little bit more controled (atleast thats what i think in my head). but you just got to try it and then have your own opinion, becasue everyone has a different opinion.

 

also you want to be in a comfortable place with a good buddy or two, dont do it with more than 3 people cause its just crazy staying togather and keeping everyone on the same page. the best is when its you and 1 other person. set aside a good 5 hours where you dont have any plans and you dont got to do anything too important. outside is good at a park, you dont want to come home till you are sober or it will be really sketch around the parents. wherever you are you wont get board, its gonna be one crazy adventure and you will love it. have good thoughts going into it and it will all be good.

 

A friend of mine who does both reguarly said when he was a begginer, the setting etc was more important with shrooms than acid, he could do acid at festivals/parties quite comfortably, but Shrooms were much more of a solo thing or with a few close friends.

 

bob, your friends sound like they are giving you some accurate advice (atleast in my experience). I also agree that whilst on shrooms, i find myself completely out of control, and they also make your stomach feel terrible. i had to do tea every time (which is supposed to make your stomach feel better) but i still felt like shit. lsd....well lets just say its the best invention since agriculture lol. Its a chemically perfect creation, easy to dose (just place on the tongue), you dont feel bad (even the next day unlike ecstasy), and its a much more pleasurable experience. And i also feel like i have much more control over my trip when on lsd. all you have to do is focus if you want to trip harder (meditation type stuff is when lsd is most powerful), or if you are in a social setting with people who arent tripping, you can interact with them pretty normal if you want (although this obviously diminishes the lsd effects). The overall experience of an lsd trip is just way cooler than shrooms to me. i started with shrooms also, but after i did lsd i will never go back...and ive been in some pretty uncool conditions while on lsd, only to have the time of my life lol

having said that, smoking pot is about a volume 2. tripping shrooms is about a volume 5 or 6. lsd is about a 7, maybe 8 if you get some fire. it can get a little intense when your peak is coming on for about 30 seconds, but after that its just pure euphoria.

do some research, then make your own decision...

 

just do em both at the same time

 

id same shrooms is great for a first time trip. acid could be a bit of a mind fuck. or smoke some salvia then do shrooms, can get you used to tripping all together.

 

lsd

 

Heres what i did, i got shrooms and lsd, and i did shrooms first because a really chill girl told me to stick to naturals first. I did 2.3 grams of shrooms and it was amazing, visuals and all - i did get a mind fuck but once you let go and "surrender to the flow" its awesome just dont fight it. If you can get through shrooms you can get through anything and it made me a more confident person. You definitely want to be with close friends in a good enviroment. Trippin will make you closer to your friends as long as all the vibes are good. Shrooms felt like a whole energy inside of me and i didnt know what to do with it, make sure you can do something: music, if you play then try that, or just listen, draw or do something creative, atleast imop. Mushrooms are all about vibes so make sure you are safe where you are and who your with.

And to acid. I did two gel tabs, supposedly they are strong, but nope. I think the dealer had stored them incorrectly or something because it was weak as fuck and i had to pull out some beers just to make the experience better. I did get a body high and like no mind fuck but also no visuals really, and it was a weak experience. So I dont really know too much about acid in that respect because my trip was weak.

All in all, if you just want to get high and see shit -lsd i suppose, but i think mushrooms are more spiritual and lively and natural. I loved shrooms, and acid felt fake to me. But coming from me, dont listen as much about the acid from what i said because I didnt have a legit trip, if i had actually tripped then my info could be a lot different. But for the shrooms, I know what I am talking about because it was intense.

Depending on what your looking for, do either. If someday u are gonna have done both then go with mushrooms, its a good natural first timer. people always like what they did first more, and i feel that if u can really enjoy mushrooms, in the long run it is better for you. But if you just want to try one, maybe lsd is more fun idk.

 

you definitely had some weak lsd. oh well welcome to 2008. Dont judge lsd on that experience though, it is extremely powerful stuff. But 2.3 grams of some good mush should really fuck you up pretty good (especially if its your time).

 

yeah, how would you, jacobfredjo, describe acid, compared to how i described shrooms?

 

I find that shrooms "feel" more natural. LSD gives me a sense of the synthetic, the feeling is somewhat jerky and electrical. I would describe shrooms as earthy and nebulous. That's not to say one is inherently better than the other, just what I've noticed from my very limited experience. I have to say, I think I prefer shrooms. This is partly attributable to having a slightly uncomfortable LSD experience, but it also has a lot to do with the sedating effect of shrooms, vs. LSD's stimulant effect. The former is just more to my taste. However, I think once I'm in college...new people, blank slate and all that, I look forward to dropping some L.

 

This has been said but I'll repeat it:

Its really different from one individual to then next. I found that shrooms were a little easier to handle and a little more comfortable. I also feel WONDERFUL the day after shrooms. The day after LSD I feel kinda empty and hung over. This contradicts what some other people have said in this thread, so like I said, its on an individual basis.

One thing I think all will agree on though is that shrooms don't last as long, so that might be a reason to try them first. If you don't like the trip you only have to deal with the really heavy part for 3 - 4 hours. LSD can keep giving for more than 8.

Personally I'd recommend starting with Salvia (if its still legal in your area). Its probably more intense and likely to be unpleasant than the other two, but it only lasts five minutes or so. The heavy part only lasts a couple of minutes. So even if you have a terrifying trip (like my first one was) its gone in minutes and probably won't have a lasting effect on you. Again, everyone is different so perhaps you could feel bad for the rest of the day after taking it, but I know when my scary trip was over, well, it was over, and I probably felt better than I had before taking it. A bad acid trip has screwed me up for days - not that I was tripping for days, but the bad experience just dragged on for hours and hours so it made a much bigger impression in my brain. On a side note, my friend who wasn't triping decided to put indiana jones and the last crusade in his DVD player while I was in the throws of this horrid trip and all I could do was pick out all of the crappiness in the movie and how fake and staged it seemed. Seems silly in retrospect, but it made my trip that much worse.

 

That happens to me a lot, usually when I'm high.

 

Heh yeah, I get that when I'm high sometimes too. . . When I was still in high school I was smoking at my dealer's house once and seinfeld came on. This was a show I normally thought was funny, but whilst high I could only focus on the laugh track. It made me want to smash the TV.

However what I experienced with Acid and Indiana Jones was like the weed fakeness x100.

 

yeah u should just be in a positive state of mind, which is tough. I remember getting those feelings while high so much that i even felt that about stuff when i was not high, and it wasnt good. lol but then the next time i smoked, i kept telling myself to think positive and chill out and i havent had negative high in a while. Also, for some reason, after trippin shrooms, everytime i get, high, i feel so much more in control and stuff, which is cool.
