LSD vs. shrooms

for the record, that's a totally subjective observation
personally, i find acid to be the more euphoric/happy trip. not to say i don't get euphoric on shrooms, but there's a lot of confusion there and a real dark side.
acid on the other hand, even when i've been at my worst on it, feels more guiding and less disconnected than mushrooms in my experience.

 

Everything is very subjective, and I have found that which ever drug the person did first then that is the one they find more eupohoric.

Lucy, for me, is much happier! Not to say, that mushrooms are not euphoric, but he described it perfectly...there is a real dark side

love them both, but will fly with lucy if i have a choice!

 

Do Both At Once

 

It all depends on you

I can tell you this for me shrooms go about 50/50
I could have a great time or they could put me in a weird place.
I always feel this connection with the earth while on them she spills secrets into me and its a little to much to think about at times they make me very sad

however lsd is about 80/20
but a bad trip on cid is a completely different animal
However id suggest a low dose of shrooms for the first timer

 

I agree completley with this. From my own experience, Id say that magic mushrooms are not supposed to be taken for enjoyment. They can be blissful, but they are always more bizarre then LSD is, a very backwards side of nature. They have a very feminine, motherly presence to them, while LSD feels like a dance through a neon network.

 

Both have their own lessons to teach.

They are totally different entities, and if you are interested in comparing them, then the only way to earnestly do so is to give them both a try. Neither of them wins out over the other one, they are both beautiful in their own regards.

I really can't even stress that enough, I have a lot of love for both of them.

 

Yea true Josh. I know, at least, that I've suffered both the worst physical and mental pains to date during mushroom trips, feelings of being poisoned or bleeding to death, and feelings of watching reality split in half and myself stretch out into a neverending repeating cycle of laughter and crying as my atmosphere, and blurry mind movies too ugly to relate

 

yeah well...lol

I've haven't had anything that extreme. ahhhhh I just love them both.

Lucy for me was like "Here is the universe, now go play." Feelings of endless love naturally followed. It's like being a child again, but in a crazy, energetic, hyperly attuned to universal conscious sort of way.

Shrooms was like "Why do you use your head so much when you have your heart?" Bliss abruptely exploded out of my chest then. Tears of joy without a conscious acknowledgement of why you are crying. Total acceptance of everything and love of the interconnectedness of life.

All the good stuff

The ONLY thing I don't like about shrooms is the whole body frying thing after you come down. I suppose it really isn't that bad though.

 

ayyyee the mind movies are the most

jesus i watched the apocalypse one time

 

Yea, we are lucky when we get to feel cosmic love. Not so lucky when we get cosmic punishment. Ah well, that's life for ya

 

Me too, along with a little black girl at 4am who was in the window of the rowhome next to mine. It was like the sky turned red and there was all these billions of tiny machines flying towards the Earth lol. If only I could relate how emotional that vision was.

 

You are lucky with either one you get.

 

Well I guess that depends on what we consider lucky :cheers2:

 

To be honest, from what you've written, I think this state of mind is going to be a far more determining factor in your trip than the substance you take. If you are truly worried (beyond the normal pre-trip jitters') about losing contact with reality, psychedelics are probably not for you.

If you do decide to take either, know that you cannot do anything about what you are about to be shown and go with it freely rather than fighting Float down the river!

 

if you're scared of losing contact with reality that's something you should work out in your head before you take something engineered to make you lose contact with reality.

 

Well judging by your inexperience I would say go with the shrooms first since it does have a shorter duration that the cid. Then if all goes well you can go with the cid the next go around. You also shouldn't be thinking so much into it cuz that just doesn't help and could lead you into a bad trip.

 

mushies first

 

I say that you do whatever you can find first. I still haven't done shrooms, but would have probably done them first if they came around to me first. I was just so ready to try a psychedelic that I didn't care what it was. I was originally just holding out for mush, but it got to the point when I was like "shit, if I pass this up, I may not get another chance for a long time." And that's the only reason I did acid first.

I would also say that you should try to go all out the first time with either one of these drugs. By that I mean, if you're doing mush, don't take a light dose, go for the full 3.5 grams, if you're with close friends and in a great environment, it would be very hard to have a bad trip. If it's acid, do 2 hits for sure, that's what I did, and it rocked my world. My friend who took one his first time said that, after taking 2 hits, one felt like he wasn't even tripping, just sort of almost breaking through. I dunno though, do whatever you feel comfortable with I guess!

 

I have not got my acid yet therefore i havent tried it. but i have done shrooms and absolutely loved it. ^^ they are right it was NOTHING like i expected it to be, i could see where it "could" be scary for someone but for me it was hilarious. by the way is looking in the mirror not recommended? i thought it was very interesting to see my face wiggle, hence the name

 

I have been trying to explain for years what a real bad trip is like, so many immature kids saying spiders on them, people just dont get it. It can be pure torture, like cosmic punishment, you are so right. I really would like to hear more from you.
