acid vs. shrooms

they both have their benefits i suppose, but to me lucy will always be the better of the 2

 

^ Word.

I'm suprised acid made such a comeback. If I recall correctly, boomers were the favorite by quite a spread before.

 

acid is a lot more intense, it's easier to keep your sh*t together on shrooms, but i like acid better, too bad it's so much harder to find

 

Acid feels cleaner to me, yet very synthetic. Mushrooms feel a bit "dirty" as if it's a substance that your body shouldn't be injesting and is rejecting it (you know, more than all the other things it shouldn't be injesting and rejecting). Acid seems to have a less tendency to lead to bad trips, yet is longer so often trips start well but spiral in the end. Mushrooms tend to give me bad trips more than acid at comperable doses, but don't last as long. My vote goes to Acid. Both are very "heaven and hell" though.

 

shrooms are kinda weird for me...acid is just heavenly, everytime i trip shrooms i always dwell on how much ide rather be on acid...sooooo much cleaner

 

Shrooms for me, just didnt like acid that much..
took too long to come down from and the trip was too long in general.
Ive never experienced any nausea or stuff like that with shrooms, idk i just love them, nuff said

 

I vote for acid.

To me, shrooms are great, and more readily available around here than LSD, so I tend to trip on shrooms more frequently than acid, but if I can get it, acid is definitely the way to go.

I hate the emotional rollercoaster of mushrooms, and how you can be fucked with mentally so damn easily. On acid, I just kind of sit back and enjoy. The only thing I dislike about acid is the head congestion. I cant ever breath out my nose for shit on acid, and overall it feels like the whole high/trip is in my head, as opposed to shrooms where its throughout my entire body.

 

I never had any congestion on LSD. That's definitely an idiosyncratic reaction. LSD is less somatic (less body load) for me. LSD is cleaner, and more easily directed, and I'm able to get more out of it than other psychedelics. It is more of a spiritual experience for me, and leaves me feeling more connected to the One, as it were. (See "Explorations in Awareness" by John Aiken, and Dr. Leary's early writings)

I will say that I have not fully explored 4-HO-DMT, and I've had quite a bit of LSD, so I may be a bit prejudiced. My most recent experiences have been with psilocybin, however, and they are fresher in my mind.

I am leaning towards rhythmic drumming in conjunction with psychedelics as a tool for opening the door. Read Mickey Hart's book.

I am also leaning towards some sort of formal ritual contextual training in the use of the Sacraments, rather than the more recent (last 30 years or so) suburban HS/college kid "hey, man, let's get loaded" usage. I just don't see the point in indiscriminate use any more. I was fortunate to encounter a couple "teachers" (NOT "gurus", NOT "shamans", but people who were a bit farther on the path that I was travelling than I), but I think that is exceptionally rare these days. In 1969, when I first "tripped", I had a companion who practiced Kundalini Yoga and was patient and gentle enough to "guide" me (although guide is not the right word at all). I get the feeling that that almost never is the case today.

Psychedlics are too important to be used casually, IMO.

 

shrooms for me because to me they are spiritual

though acid is mucho fun

 

I think acid is tested for more often in drug test, But shrooms are easaly found by doggys and take up more space...

 

Its still so extremely hard to decide which is better, I've done shrooms 13 times now and lsd 3 times, and I love both. I like the visuals on LSD a bit more, although magic mushroom visuals are absolutely beautiful too.. and the mindfuck on shrooms is incredibly funny although I've had funnier moments on LSD.
I really have no idea, but I prefer the fact an LSD trip lasts so much longer, shrooms are too short. SO.. acid gets my vote yeah.

 

well ive never had shrooms. But i did vote anyway because i know which one i like better. LSD gave me the most happy feeling i have ever had, and i just cannot believe that shrooms could compare to such a blissful nirvana.

 

i've never personally tried acid..
but shrooms, i dunno, they let me down to tell you the truth. i've only tried shrooms with weed though, and the feeling is just like an intense weed high. similar sort of thought patterns as i have on weed, with minimal visuals.. are shrooms better when taken without any other drugs?
but i'll agree with ayzcrava that i wish the shrooms lasted longer as well.

 

mmm..i think i have to choose shrooms, coz they are the natural stuff.

 

I don't find my old post detailed enough, and also I did LSD 5 more times since then, bringing it on a total of 8 experiences with it.
I must say.. I prefer LSD visuals. I just love the patterns; they're so intense and moving and so real, and there's both images in it as just absact shapes and just actual fractal art. And the colours, and how stuff moves. And that I can see faces and eyes in everything. But most of all the beautiful patterns. And it lasts long, and on the peak its great to get the feeling of finding it hard to tell the visuals appart form the world, at times the world being mostly patterns that are just sort of .. world coloured.
I also prefer the body high, no rubber feeling but just light and floaty, and I quite like the feeling in my neck and head it gives me. Other then that I never experienced side effects of LSD. I also prefer the duration, as I like long trips. And the clear mental state yet feeling like a 6 year old on vacation to a newly discovered country is just fun. On LSD pretty much everything is interesting, and if its not interesting, its probably still funny. Mostly both.

But on the other hand shrooms.. shrooms make me feel like I'm in some bizarre absurdistic alien landscape. Everything looks more.. melty and shiny. The visuals are a LOT less detailed but there's also patterns and a lot of movement. Light seems to be even more shiny aswell. On mushrooms everythig seems like it makes no sense, like there's no boundarie between thoughts that seperate them. Its almost a bit of a messy mental high to me. I find the rubber feeling funny, but I dislike the slight nausea at the onset of it. But the bizarre alien feeling is what makes it so great. Duration makes it easier to just do them on a weekend night.

Even though I slightly prefer LSD; I seriously love shrooms. I voted LSD but its just hard to be sure of my vote. The mental effects are pretty different, even though there's huge similairities. I just like both a lot I guess.

 

everything is chemical!!!

milk, water (H2O), everything you can see/touch is a chemical.

just so you know...

 

damn, this was A LONG time ago. By now I have done acid probably like 20 or so times shrooms maybe a few times less, any my vote...definately goes to....................
ACID!!!

the most simple distinction i can make is that shrooms make you feel kind of drunk with respect to your body control but while on acid you can pretty much walk around and control your body even though you are out of your head.

fuck all that synthetic vs. nature shit. when i eat acid i get no upset stomach at all (ok maybe a few times but it is very slight if at all). on shrooms tho i just start to imagine that these chemicals are trying to get me to lay down and die. i get like a bad mucousy taste/feeling and it is kinda freaky. shrooms are poison people don't kid yourself. neither of these drugs is good for you, but they are damn fun/enlightening and it's a choice you gotta make.

i like the more for your money arguement too. 30-40 bucks can get you like 3-5 tabs or an eighth. you will have a much better time with the tabs at least i know i would.

only had bad trip on shrooms too.

 

So is any other chemical when you take too much, but
at respectful doses no, they are not poisonous. Magic
Mushrooms are just one of Mother Nature's fruits that
bless us with insight into Her love, but if you do not
bow in respect to her your only hurting yourself, as
Nature is both Creative and Destructive in, well, nature.

 

^^^

just meant it as "lay off of acid, it's not worse than shroom just cuz it's not natural."

acid could still be considered a gift of mother nature, we just had to tinker with what she gave us a bit, similar to beer, most foods we eat, etc....

 

I like them both, but it depends on where I am. If I'm at a festival, acid for sure. It feels like a mix between E and mushrooms, and it lasts longer so I can stay up all night. But if I want to be chill and have a mellow trip, them mushrooms for sure.
