I may not have experimented with Acid enough yet, however, my experiences with shrooms which ive done multiple times (up to 4gs), seem to be deep and spiritual whereas when I took the cid it was more as if I was drunk at a party. I don't know, I've only tried cid once and it could have possibly been bunk, but any other opinions on the matter? :sifone:
They are both what you make of them. Set and setting is everything. Set and setting is internal. Other entities may alter the experience, and each experience will vary, even on the same batch of the same hallucinogen.
you definitely had a tiny dose of LSD. even a "medium" dose would make your jaw drop, and it is ridiculously spiritual. but mushrooms are more "intense" in that they take you further away from sobriety than acid does, in a sense. apples and oranges.
i used to think they were very similar. now i see them as quite different. i mean they both make you trip, make music cool, give you visuals, etc. but i actually feel intoxicated when i eat mushrooms. i get kinda clumsy and jello-y. LSD makes me feel cripy and connected. it's like a sense enhancement - i can see bugs in the grass and hear them too. for me, LSD is p e r f e c t. mushroooms can be a bit more difficult in my own personal experience.
I've only done LSD once too and my experience was similiar. I took a low dose at a party and all it did was make me sociable and put me in a party mood. It kind of made me feel uncomfortable, as well. I loooove mushrooms. They are definitely my drug of choice and one reason is because they feel very cleansing and purifying, but the acid made me feel kind of dirty. I've heard that low dose acid can make you feel uncomfortable like that. I should try a larger dose sometime, but that uncomfortable dirty feeling kind of turned me off completely.
Mushrooms feel like they are taking over my mind and body, LSD feels like it is saturating my mind and makes it feel like its 'frying' on overload. Ive never felt very threatened on mushrooms as long as my enviornment was good but it is a heavy trip, LSD has made me feel like I'm losing my mind before but usually its a more graceful trip. They both can be spiritual and profound.
LSD is very crisp and clear-headed, at lower doses, but higher doses can be quite disorienting, in my experience. Shrooms are definitely more on the "mystical" side than LSD is though. Much deeper. That's why I actually prefer shrooms, though I haven't had any shrooms for about 8 years now In my experience.....LSD's visuals seem to be more fluid and smooth, while the headspace is more rigid and analytical. Shrooms' visuals seem to be more geometric though, while the headspace is more organic and emotional.
ive had ego death and spiritual awakenings on LSD. mushrooms have actually made me have a bad trip where i was crying one second and then laughing the next and i thought i was going to die and i was in a safe area and setting.
seconded. I dont understand the standard "shrooms then acid" approach for beginners. Acid is much friendlier in my experience.
i will now add that higher doses of L, during the peak, are quite disorienting, like TNS said. but i'm STILL able to walk around, even up a creek and not lose my balance or anything. but i might FEEL like i'm about to collapse. so i choose to lay down in the mud. and it's beautifully awesome i wonder if i'll ever try shrooms again. i kinda got scared away by the last batch i bought. but it was probably my own fault for just munching them at my apt. on a pretty normal night. shoulda saved them for camping or something
