LSD vs. Mushrooms

I'm sure this argument has gone on 1000 times, but generally speaking an 8th of shrooms is gonna completely take me way farther out than a couple doses of acid will. Even half an 8th.

Perhaps it's the quality of the acid i've taken. Or the quantity. I don't think i've ever taken more than 5 hits and i did that just one time. 2-3 is generally the range i've been in.

But 2-3 hits vs. half an 8th? Half an 8th wins. An 8th vs. 5 hits and it's not even close. The shrooms are always way more insane for me.

Generally i would say that mushrooms are the more psychedelic of the two. Most people disagree. Thoughts?

 

drugs affect everyone differently epecially phsychedelics im choosing acid, its easier to dose, i know more about it, and there generaly isnt the worry of throwing up


100th post

 

Shrooms are more intense but they're crazy. Acid is a thinking man's drug.

 

Everyone is affected differently by these substances due to differences in brain chemistry and many other reasons. Everyone perceives the world differently and that too plays a roll in how these drugs affect a person.

Personally I find acid to be more lucid than mushrooms, but at high doses, it can make you trip just as hard. It's just a different trip.

 

interesting

 

I would not say mushrooms are more psychedelic, I don't think there is anything more psychedelic than LSD really and truly, but mushrooms and tryptamines in general are much more 'intense' and much more likely to cause impairment in functioning quicker. Tryptamines have more of a intoxication aspect to them, LSD is more clear headed, even in very high doses you can function surprisingly well in some ways, while very high doses of tryptamines are invariably paralyzing.

 

whatcha mean by psychedelic tho?

in my experience ive found that acid is more intense visually (open or closed)

for me both ultimately make me feel self actualized (while simultaneously making me aware of my own flaws)-- but the 'getting-there' process is a little more rough on mushrooms. tho, i have only taken relatively low doses of shrooms (max 4 dry grams)

on shrooms i constantly see/feel my forehead trying to split wide open.. i havent got that in the same way with acid

 

I've never had shrooms but I've definitely had my fair share of LSD voyages; and by hearing some friends stories about mushrooms I definitely hear about more bad trips

This is one reason I never care for shrooms, although one day I will try them, for now LSD is my go to psychedelic

It doesn't even phase me that i need to try them to "pick" one favorite, I personally know that acid is all I'll ever need if I do wanna expand to new levels of consciousness

 

I would do mushrooms but LSD is cheeper but harder to find

 

the couple times I've tried shrooms, I didn't really feel like I tripped much or they took much effect. The first one, where I'm told my friends tripped balls, I just felt tired, a little confused, very little visuals but alltogether a trippy-ish drunk feeling. The second times I got similar to low level acid visuals, because recognizing the difference quickly seemed to help, but other than that drunk feeling again, not a whole lot.

Acid always blows my mind. It EXPANDS my thoughts infinitely and then I began to drown in the detail and amaze. I think for Shrooms, maybe my brain is used to being on an adhd level, & it just brings out more of that playfullness, but I think setting perhaps get in the way or shrooms just don't click with my brain well.... (yet, I hope).

 

Mushrooms are the real deal.

 

i've had many more trips on LSD, and i used to think it was "more intense," but i'm sure if i ate an eighth of potent shrooms that would be up for debate

 

what about LSD and shrooms

 

I have a decent amount of experiences with both lsd and shrooms, but I feel would need more experience with the two to truly say which I prefer. All I know right now is that they are both different and amazing and beautiful and I can't choose between them haha.

 

I think I actually ended up taking a full 8th that first time, and also smoking a bunch in between. Must have been low-quality shrooms.

I would love to experience a shroom trip I'd put on par with an acid trip.

 

For me LSD has always been an elegant circus of thought, form and color, kind of like Cirque De' Soleil.
Mushrooms are more like Mr. Toads Wild Ride with the Mad Hatter driving.

When an LSD journey takes a wrong turn it is often a result of sensory and thought overload and can be changed by changing your setting.

Anytime mushrooms have taken a wrong turn for me, it resulted in a brutal unrelenting barrage of all my deepest darkest fears, shortcomings and failures. All presented with the subtilty of a jackhammer to the brain, while gutting me emotionally with a corkscrew and piling my putrid entrails on my chest so the stench of all my failures as a husband and a father would fill my nostrils and force me to gag on my miserableness.
(that was actually a recent "uncomfortable" mushroom experience I had. I "saw" and felt every eternal second of this, not fun, but enlightening)

Each is different and has unique and positive and negative characteristics, but I prefer LSD.

Now mescaline on the other hand........

 

yea if an eighth only made you feel trippyish-drunk and gave you low level visuals, they were likely not very potent.

what's your usual dose of LSD? maybe you are used to dropping 10 strips or something?

 

Shrooms will cut you deep with more ease. They'll get straight to your core and flip you inside out!

Acid works in waves, but you can still get just as deep, just gotta know how to work with her.

 

I don't know, i agree with Writer regarding the clear-headedness and functionability of LSD vs. shrooms. But shrooms are always just much more deep for me. Much more existential. I've tripped so hard from such relatively small amounts that it's quite hard to explain it very well. Not to mention shrooms have been much much more visual for me. Acid has recently just put me in really strange, unloving, uncaring places. Just a desolate psychedelic wasteland. But i assume that somewhat has to do with the quality of the acid i've taken. I'm sure Writer, PB and others are much more on top of their game with the quality of their sheets and whatnot.

Mescaline is a mystery to me. But alas, i don't want to get too excited thinking about it. I'm really trying to end my drug use cold and strict.

 

This is good
