Miscellaneous (In my subjective opinion) Mushrooms are waaaay better than LSD

[Mr. Krinkle]

Really? See for me, I get the most music appreciation out of LSD, which is actually one reason why I prefer it.

Also, it surprises me how willing some people are to eat mushrooms but not acid. Mushrooms are confusing as fuck; they will spin my world up, scramble my brains, couch-lock my dumbass and leave me hypnotized and lost in a reverie. Acid is much more functional for me, so I see what you’re saying about being active. But one of my absolute favorite things to do is to dance while on acid. Dancing and LSD were just made for each other, whereas mushrooms do nothing for my coordination.

Psilocin works only on certain serotonin and adrenaline sites, whereas LSD hits a wide swath of additional receptor types including dopamine and sigma receptors. Coupled with its potency and the ease with which it can be smuggled, it’s hard not to think of LSD as the king of psychedelics, for me anyway.

I totally agree :tunein:

I agree lsd is much more functional 90% of the normal People wont ever catch on to You taking it

 

[RhythmSpring]

Obviously a subjective matter of opinion.

But my vote is mushrooms.

 

[pupnik]

a bottle of gel capped chopped dried shrooms is just as convenient as blotters, except for the wallet fitting aspect.

I think people have this natural bias thinking shrooms are safer because they're "natural", which is really a bit misguided since everything is all chemicals, whether it was made in a lab or in nature.

And yeah, acid is way more functional. I've gone to work still high on LSD several times, but wouldn't dare doing that on shrooms.

I say this all the time to people, it feels like. I mean Ketamine is completely synthetic, but it's also on the W.H.O.'s list of essential medicines as it's a very useful anesthesia that doesn't compromise pulmonary integrity. Meanwhile there's stuff in nature like belladonna/deadly nightshade/Jimson weed/datura, poisonous death cap mushrooms, and shit like Nerium oleander that grows naturally and it is deadly as all fucking get out.

And anyway, I'm much more functional on acid and a lot less prone to gastrointestinal discomfort.

Also, if I take acid, my tolerance to all psychedelics goes way up. But let's say I take something like 2C-B Friday night. I can still trip if I drop acid the next day, but not the other way around.

Two tiny squares of paper is more convenient than ~8 double-aught-sized gel caps in my opinion, but it's not worth debating; I'll agree it's roughly the same. That said, I'd like to note two disadvantages with gel-capped chopped mushrooms:

1. Chopped mushrooms expose more of the mushroom's psilocin content (~30% of the active alkaloids) to the surrounding environment, accelerating its rapid deterioration. It's advised to chop up shrooms to avoid stomach issues since we don't digest the mushroom fibers, but you want to do this just prior to consuming, not in advance.
2. Capsulizing mushrooms is a bit of a pain in the ass. Compared to blotter paper that already laid, this ruins the convenience argument.

But that's just my opinion. What's a "pain in the ass" varies from person to person, and some people really seem to despise putting paper in their mouths, so there's that…

yah, but we can't get 2c's any more

I can't get acid....even 90-ies circulated some blotters in capital,but i heard that storagingvof papper was bad....ain't got the chance to try it.psylocibe if conditions are far good enough and like to travel&know the places you got free gift from God-mushrooms....and yes....most of the time are lazy thing,perhaps i dance too two times high on shrooms at night skies in the camp and was perfect....Set&setting.....just wait the right moment to come.

If you don't have the chance, that's different. If you get the chance, don't skip it. Acid is stellar.

Also, blotter stored at a moderate temperature in the dark is really stable. I'll store it between the pages of a book, for example, and it will stay potent for years like that. Conversely, while psilocybin is relatively stable; psilocin has poor shelf-life.

yah, but we can't get 2c's any more

Why not?

I can't get acid.

Same question: why not?

 

[Nas47]

Don't know why....when live there it was 90 till 2008.first H was the drug.....people,who use psychedelicks aren't much...more X for events as i remember&ocassional shroomers.Booze,speed&weed are more used from youngers now

Yeap. Acid takes a toll on your energies and bodies way, way bigger than mushrooms do. I have a Kratom habit and at the comedown I *need to take Kratom because as you said you feel "shaken" after the trip. Even in the best trips I felt a little "ungrounded" at the comedown.
Mushrooms are way gentler.

Also LSD has more "mania" effects (at the end of the day it has a very stimulant-type feeling).

With this being said Lsd its still a great, great drug and the best highs of my fucking life has been on it. All be said!

 

[unodelacosa]

Speak for yourself. Mushrooms completely drain me and I sleep heavily after I shroom. If you think mushrooms are "way gentler" I suspect you haven't shroomed very hard then…

Im not saying they don´t drain you of energy. I´m saying in *comparison, Acid does it way more.

Also, when say draining of your energies/body, I didnt meant about physical tiredness.

LSD is more manic, electryfing, stimulating...therefore causes more havroc and distress to the organism. Mushrooms are more "grounded". Which is not to say high doses of mushrooms can be insane. But you know...im just saying in comparison.

 

[unodelacosa]

To you. Again: speak for yourself; I disagree with your assessment, respectfully of course.

Also, when say draining of your energies/body, I didnt meant about physical tiredness.

Umm, so you're saying acid is more mentally exhausting than mushrooms? Not to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

LSD is more manic, electryfing, stimulating...

Not the most precise language to use here… I think it's kind of an individual opinion thing.

therefore causes more havroc and distress to the organism.

That's making a lot of assumptions.

Mushrooms are more "grounded". Which is not to say high doses of mushrooms can be insane. But you know...im just saying in comparison.

Obviously – we're talking about comparing acid and mushrooms. We'll probably have to agree to disagree here, b/c mushrooms are anything but grounded to me, especially during the come up. But you know: different strokes for different folks and all that…

Is a Hammer better then a screwdriver?

 

[nepalnt21]

shrooms gives me too much mindfuck, i prefer lsd. shrooms scare the FUCK outta me, even though i've done them prolly a dozen times.

acid and a few other lysergamides i've done a lot more and prefer them... more recreational while still allowing for introspective therapy sessions.

shrooms tend to make me existentially depressed afterwards, and the trips are typically full of trepidation.

 

[unodelacosa]

Is a Hammer better then a screwdriver?

Do you mean the drink or the tool. If the former, yes, a hammer is generally of higher than a screwdriver. If the latter, well, I'd rather be hammered by the screwdriver than the actual mallet.

 

[Ismene2]

If I had the choice I think it would be mushrooms (tho DS crystal LSD is the equal of mushrooms). But I'm talking back when you could buy a kilo of fresh mushrooms for £200 in 2003-7. Nowadays when mushrooms on the darknet are ridiculously expensive it's got to be LSD - simple economics.

 

[Opana313]

I love them both dearly.

Shrooms for the great colorful hallucinations and also if I want a deep introspective trip, they usually knock me on my ass or consume me after 5 or 6gs

Acid is like a low dose trip of shrooms in the sense that I am able to communicate and be in public even. But 2 or 3 tabs in of good LSD gives me beautiful 3D or 4D hallucinations and also seems to be more pleasant for my body physically.

Lol, but yeah..
My point was that both are tools, one may be more versatile then the other.
But imo i think both has its place.

I would never do lsd at home anymore, i mostly enjoy it at raves and psychedelic festivals.
With mushrooms its the opposite, i only do them at home without any people around.
