acid vs. shrooms

LSD! xxxxxx

The most mind expanding, life enhancing, intellect increasing drug EVER!

And although people say its not natural, and therefore consider Shrooms somehow safer, i just dont agree. Peeps have been doing cid for half a century now! Its lovely! (And certain natural things are poisonous, equating natural to best for you isn't always right.)

And although shrooms are better (well certains shrooms) for introspective moments, Cid has a telepathic quality where you can be introverted with ALL your friends. Which is surely lovely! (and although sounds silly, is actually very mesmerisingly grand.)

And Cid is far more mentallly stimulating.

But this is just one persons experience.

I'm so damn sure it has something to do with your hormonal and chemical balances. HAvign said allthat, i dont know why, but it makkes me sad that Acid is losing in the poll.

Stop offending the Cid people!
Its already so shy and difficult to find... you'll make it extinct if you're not careful!

 

yea yea, it get's old though.

 

I've been out of circulation for a while, bro, good to be back.

Yeah, just what the world needs, more Doctors who know nothing about medicine. I've had to educate my doc about some basic things having to do with chronic pain and opioids. Sigh.

Here's something I don't quite get: this arbitrary distinction being made that Lyserg Suare Diethylamid is synthetic or semi-synthetic. Everything that occurs or exists in the natural universe is natural, by definition. No one can definitively say that LSD is not manufactured in some plant on a world in another galaxy, can they?

At any rate, I don't believe mushrooms would have resulted in the Summer of Love. LSD is energizing; it is a battery charger for the mind. That alone is enough reason for me to advocate that everybody of sufficiently mature mental status should take 250 mcg. of LSD at least once. :sunglasse

 

absofuckinglutely.
nuff said.

 

Really. Cause clean LSD just gives me (or gave me, like around 69 - 71 or so) a very slight adrenaline-like tension, and a little knot near my solar plexus (what Chakra is that? I forget) from around T = 00:20 to T= 01:00, then the head took over and AWAAAAY WE GO! DOWN THE CHUTE AND THRU THE LOOKING GLASS!

Clean LSD doesn't have hardly any body effects at all.

Two C-Ezzz, you're one of the very few on Hip.com I'd like to meet some day.

Tranquility and Satori, Komrade.

 

It's possible to overthink the issue. My feeling is that LSD is a good tool for overcoming precisely those anxieties and fears that make you hesitate in the first place.

Don't take it just any old place at any old time. Set and setting are the concepts to keep in mind. Drop on a day (or early evening, my preference) when you are feeling really good about yourself, and your place in the universe. Do it in comfortable surroundings, with some relaxing music (or even sounds of the surf or rain forest) and some fresh fruit, plenty of clean, cool water, loose, comfortable clothing, lots of cushions and rugs, a place to do stretches and yoga ( I always enjoy the feel of stretching and flexing when I trip, including some Yoga poses), and hopefully with someone you trust who is warm, loving, and willing to do a little less than you, so you're on the same plane.

The whole point of using the Sacraments is to peel away the layers of the onion (your masks) until you come to the central "you"; the you that is part of the all, and that contains the all. "Thou Art God."

 

LSD

I've found acid to more of a "clean" trip you can say, more coherent in the mind I guess while stuff is just happening everywhere.

Shrooms though definitly give you more perspective, and send your thoughts racing every which way.

Shrooms also give you that unpleasent nausea when coming up, though pot can normally help that a great deal.

And frankly, you get more for your money with acid.

 

i love shroomz. never tried acid so i wont judge

 

i prefer acid. shrooms makes me really sick...

 

i cant vote cuz ive only done shroomz

 

tried both and would choose shrooms simply for the comeup!

 

wouldn't pass up either if i got the chance again. done them both... like them both equally really. only don't like the nausea you get with shrooms.

 

I couldn't agree more. Mushrooms make everything hazy and strange to me, and acid seems to be much more clarifying. I have only had one bad trip, and it was with shrooms. I can't imagine LSD giving me a bad trip, but if it did that would be the longest 10-12 hours of my life.

 

MUSHROOMS!!!!! Although I love my psychedelics, and I used to be a major acid feind for years, I've seen the damage the stuff can do to your brain and it isn't pretty, and you can never guarantee the strength of the stuff which leads to some really bad trips for the inexperienced. I've known people who have ended up in psychiatric wards because of unstable LSD or unstable personalities set off by the acid.

But mushrooms, and indeed peyote, salvia and psych truffles are much better, you know how much you are taking and the high feels more organic, if that makes sense. The side effects are less harmful. You have MUCH more control over the strength and length of the trip with shrooms. LSD has always felt very chemical to me, manafactured and unstable like pills and amphets.

Mushrooms make me feel a part of nature, I feel like I fit in and that there is a purpose to life, things seem clearer and I have my little epiphenies which I like very much. I have made many good life choices while shrooming, and I certainly can't say the same for acid.

Long live Mushrooms!!

 

I agree with this as well. I would take mescaline before LSD for the same reasons, but I much enjoy the control I'm in on acid as opposed to the lack of control on mushrooms.

 

I'm unable to vote on this as it's laid out different for me. They really feel overall the same. There does seem to have this VERY slight difference in feel but I was pondering the chance that the difference may simply be based on the fact that I know LSD is man made and shrooms is a funky fungi.


To me:
If I can be of altered mind for over 8 hours without worry, LSD it is.
If I have less time, Shrooms it is!

Also it depends on what's available.

 

The effects LSD and mushrooms can have on the brain are quite similar and all mental, and LSD and psilocybin are even extremely close in chemical structure. And when taking shrooms you really don't know how much you're getting, yes you might know you're taking 4 grams or whatever, but shrooms are not the same potency across the board, you can take 4 grams of crappy shrooms and have a mild trip, or take 3 grams of great shrooms and trip balls for 5 hours.

And as for the nature part, wow, shrooms, they're from nature, they can grow in cow shit, animals can piss on them, and they look alot like many deadly poisonous types. Besides, the best shrooms, and most you'll buy unless you go shrooming are ones grown inside by people who know what they're doing.

 

LSD is my first love. taking it after a long break is like going home. shrooms are nice too but it's just not the same for me. I vote acid.

 

Damn its almost dead even.. Ivoted shrooms..

 

wow i am the deciding vote (for now)
acid-119
shrooms-118
