acid vs. shrooms

I know exactly what you mean. It's that catatonic existential despair. It's useful, but if you overdo it you'll start just feeling empty. Lately it's all I get from shrooms. The other night I tried something which I was told was mescaline, assumed was 2C-I, and ended up being something totally different on which I tripped for 12 hours. It was definitely my kind of psychedelic, I got excelllent visuals and was in a comfortable state of mind in which I felt I could move around different psychic areas with ease. Too bad I'll probably never find it again.

 

honestly i don't see how any psychedelic is easier on your mind than another. i've had negative thought loops on acid and on shrooms. i think it might be expectation that is the greater influence.

 

shrooms make me lazy and groggy. Acid gives me energy like a red a bull.

 

it differs for everyone. i have had more "bad trips" on mushrooms. I have never had one on L. My bad trips aren't really bad trips, but more just negative feelings, and being uncomfortable. and wanting it to end. Mushrooms just seem to bring this out a lot. Not every time, but about half.

 

Shrooms, hands down.

 

can somebody tell me about these physically bad effects with acid?


i've never done acid but i would like to, and before doing so, this might be some helpful info.

i've tripped shrooms three times and the last one (4th of july) i got that negativity bad at the end of the trip.

 

I love shroomies!!!!

 

I heard shrroms grow out of cow shit...?

 

I vote 4 shrooms, two words: blue honey.

 

some species grow on, or to the side of cow shit, but not in it. Most mushrooms, that one buys from a dealer are hom grown

 

Acid is the best drug ever.

 

i decline to vote. i love them both passionately. both have advantages over the other...

for example, with a little effort you can generally tell if someone is selling you real mushrooms or not. with acid, you have to wait until you drop to find out if its really LSD or if its just blank paper.

while you can't count on a consistent potency in any particular kind of mushroom, you can at least have accuracy in the AMOUNT of fungal matter ingested, providing you have scales. its much harder to gauge your dose of LSD, because the potency of blotter is far more variable than the potency of mushrooms.

LSD lasts longer, and generally produces fewer "negative" side effects. many of the side effects of psychedelics are physical manifestations of mental hang ups....even nausea at times. both LSD and pure psilocybin are essentially safe and harmless from a physical standpoint, but sometimes there is a physiological reason for sickness during a trip (such as with the toxins in morning glory seeds, the severe nausea that usually accompanies harmala alkaloids in things like ayahuasca vine or syrian rue, or the discomfort assosciated with trying to digest most kinds of psilocybian mushrooms).

while lasting longer is a good point to LSD, similarly a shorter period or duration is a good point in mushrooms. it just depends on what you're looking for.

you can VERY easily and discretely grow your own Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms without ever having to contact any "criminal element" or shifty dealers that may try to fuck you over one way or another (can't even trust the psychedelic community, these days, let alone people that get into bullshit like coke or meth or dope)

acid is much easier to hide, and is much less likely to be found by a cop or a dog.

mushrooms have the advantage of being bigger than blotter. anyone ever dropped a peice of blotter on a light colored kitchen floor? really hard to find, especially if you've already dropped some down your throat....

as for the effects, the effects of mushrooms vary considerably depending on dosage, potency, etc.
same with acid.
its really hard to say that theres much difference in the actual effects of the two substances. there ARE differences, but nothing that can adequately be put into words, apart from physiological responses and duration.

my biggest deciding factor is looking at how much time i have, how much money, what i have at my disposal, etc.

but placing one above the other is impossible for me.

 

In retrospect, I would say that I prefer mushrooms.

 

Acid will always be my pick

 

yeah there is something about LSD definitely, but if you grow your own mushrooms you have something of a special connection to them...its hard to describe. but when i grew them they were my favorite.

 

mushrooms are awesome, have yet to try cid

 

where i live for 2 months every year shrooms grow all over and are much more reiable than most of the acid and imho are a much better trip

 

Ive done a lot of both, but Im more of a shroom man.

 

I can't fairly compare the two. I did acid before I tried shrooms and didn't like the emotional rollercoaster that shrooms take you on, but they are much easier on the brain than acid. As with all drugs, they affect everyone differently, so to me, shrooms may be an emotional rollercoaster compared to acid, but to someone else, it could be the other way around. Acid is a whole different kind of trip as far as I'm concerned, but what do I know??

 

hevant tried LSD yet.
