Boys/Girls & LSD/Mushrooms

[delta_9]

So I got into a discussion with someone I work with today about our respective favorite psychedelics.(To be more accurate we were really discussing LSD vs Mushrooms) She said she prefers mushrooms, while I said I prefer LSD.
What was interesting though was that she said this was pretty common among the people she knew. She said generally men tend to like acid more and women like mushrooms more. This isn't something I've ever bothered to ask people, so I really had no response.

I'm curious, which do YOU prefer?

So please post your gender and whether you overall prefer Lsd or psilocybe mushrooms. And if you have a specific reason why you prefer one over the other, please explain.

And let's make this a poll if possible please

Everyone is different. It is mostly coincidence I think.

I, myself, am a mushroom man. Ever since I first tried them I knew they were for me. I love high dose... I love moderate doses... light doses. Whatever. I'm all about the booms. I do love acid... but mushrooms have always given me a fuller experience. Acid makes me jump from instance to instance too much... I do love it though. I love the length of an acid trip. Shrooms are shorter and I feel more at peace with the Earth... and I'm not as stimulated. With acid I feel like I am being pushed a whole bunch.... like I'm on a rocket that won't stop so I just got steer through all sorts of wild happenings.

Ah, I love em both... I can use acid more than i can use mushrooms though. When I start to use mushrooms to frequently I bug myself out a bit. Acid I can use willy-nilly and almost always have a great experience. mushrooms I have to think about more... and meditate with them. I've done them in sketchy situations, but as i have grown I have become more careful about when I use mushrooms. I still use acid whenever though.. although I have been slowing down a bit.... Its summertime.... time to start the mushrooms binge again.... haha.

I know a girl who absolutely hates mushrooms. they make her nervous. but she loves acid.

then i know girls who are way too afraid to touch acid again... but they love mushrooms.


Most people just don't have a lot of experience is what i think it comes down to. If you have 5 mushrooms trips and 5 acid trips... it isn't enough to truly tell.

But when you've got 50 of each it becomes a little easier to tell.

For me... I can appreciate all the trips... I love all my strange research chemicals too. 2c-t-2 being my favorite... I particularly like the nausea element.

gotta go... may post more later on the topic.

I prefer lsd over mushrooms (i am female btw). I find that mushrooms put me in a very odd headspace where my emotions turn into a rollercoaster. I find lsd to be a bit 'more in control'. Lsd makes me feel like I am some sort of genius that has unlocked the meaning of life, whereas on mushroom I feel very in touch with the earth and myself.

I can see the elements in both substances which would make peope really enjoy both of them, but personally I prefer lsd.

First trip ever was on really good hippy tabbed LSD and was amazing. Being the first time, I was more concerned with finding my way through the experience than I am now with shrooms regularly. It seemed less controllable than shrooms to me, but again could have been due to being the first time.

I like the visuals of both respectively, but shrooms feel much better to me overall body wise. Duration of shrooms is more appealing, as I like the ability to redose if wanted without it having to last 12 hours. All of them leave me feeling dirty afterward, however LSD (and 5-meo-mipt for that matter) have a very dirty chemical feeling in my head/body whereas shrooms is more of a cleanse.

Mid/late 20s male. One LSD trip, one 5-meo-mipt trip (bad, will never touch again. started out like lsd then went downhill fast), and a good 10 shroom trips (over the last year or so now).

EDIT: FWIW, my ex. introduced me to LSD and loves both. LSD more though. introduced current GF to shrooms, first time was fun but she doesn't like not having an off button when she's done (which is about 2 hours in ive found) so shrooms are even too long for her.

 

[Ramirez]

I know a girl that HATES shrooms, but loves acid.

I'm more of a mushroom person. They just seem more intense for me than acid.

 

[Carmella Boyle]

I'm a chick and I prefer LSD. I've used mushrooms many many times and acid only twice (once with MDMA and once on its own) and both times were much deeper experiences than the mushroom experiences. That said my mushroom trips have been 2g or under. I still like mushrooms but if I had to pick between having a source for LSD or shrooms it'd be for LSD.

 

[suburbantoker]

I am a male and I love LSD to all getout

 

[aussieblues]

I'm male and I love LSD, it's my current preference in the realm of psychedelic compounds.
However, I also love psilocin and a number of other psychedelics, so, ultimately, it's all about personal preference. :D

 

[PepperSocks]

I'm game for making this a poll.

I know a few girls who like mushrooms but none who have tried LSD. That's another matter; they're too "scared" to try it because they think it'll fry their brain. But still I really don't like mushrooms and lots of guys I know are the same but for some reason females seem to like them, IME.

Also results are likely to not be too great; PD and online forums in general get much more Male traffic than Female. There's another poll in PD that reflects that quite a bit.

 

[aussieblues]

I will agree with what pepper said, I know quite a few girls who've tried mushrooms and loved them or really want to try mushrooms (but I won't get them any as I don't feel they're ready), but many of them, even those who loved mushrooms, are afraid of LSD because of the social stigma. "Oh no! It's not natural! It'll turn my brain into a fried egg!" Though I do know some girls who've tried lower doses and LOVED it! :D

 

[LSDMDMA&AMP]

well, im a dude and i love lucy. dont mind shrooms, theyre alright, but id marry a fucking sheet if i could. mushies seem way more stoney and cloudy, i dont like the body high and i cant think quickly as i can on acid. and acid gives me the giggles and thats fuckin fun lulz. shrooms dont make me too euphoric liek acid does. just a WTFWTFWTFWTF feeling in my head. fun, but LSD>Mushies any day for me. and acid has a way better afterglow for me too.

 

[strawberry jam]

Female, I prefer LSD. Mushrooms feel darker to me and I feel less in control. My older sister (I'm 20, she's 22) prefers mushrooms though. She's afraid to try acid for some reason but shrooms are her absolute favorite drug of choice.

One of my good friends said that word for word about mushrooms, that she loses her shit much more easily, whereas LSD is generally more "mellow".

 

[killo]

Neither LSD or mushrooms is more mellow than the other.

Anyone who has tried high doses of both know what I mean!

5 grams of good mushrooms will have ANY of the people on this forum out of control, no matter what any attempt to gain control will be a failed and futile attempt. Go with it.

If you take 10 hits of good LSD or an amount to get ANYWHERE NEAR 5 grams of mushrooms, it will be out of your control. "Mellow" would not be the word to describe a "ego destruction" dose of LSD. haha.

It's all about dosage, most of the times the people that like mushrooms more than LSD haven't even tried a high dose of mushrooms(which is nuts). Vice versa.

 

[MistaJeff]

I love LSD. I've taken mushrooms over 20 times and I don't really see a point in taking them ever again. I've taken LSD more times than I could count and it never seems to get old.

 

[queenbee1127]

I'm a female and I prefer mushrooms to LSD.

First, I have more experience with mushrooms than acid, and I prefer their shorter, more intense trip. For me, mushrooms are all about having fun, laughing and hallucinating where I feel like acid gives me a different, more intrinsic head space, and lasts 3x or more longer than mushrooms.

Additionally, after I trip mushrooms - the trip is over. When you come down, you're all the way down and there are no weird next day or lasting psychological effects for me. Acid, however, seems to linger on, and even after a night of tossing and turning I still don't feel quite back to normal the next day.

 

[caseface99]

I have only taken mushrooms 5-6 times, however acid 20-30+ times. I have taken just under 4 grams of dried mushrooms, which was nuts. Most acid i have taken at once was 5 1/2 fairly good tabs. (i would estimate 80-100ug ea, however no way to be sure. Basing this off of what i have read about effects of LSD at certain doses)

Either way, i will usually prefer LSD over mushrooms; usually being the key word. Certain situations would be more awesome while on mushrooms, but if i am either at a concert or just chilling with friends i would prefer acid. Mushrooms i would have to take either at a large outdoor festival or a camping trip or something of the like.


Oh yeah, btw i am Male, and i guess i technically prefer LSD; but that's not to say i wont eat mushrooms if i have the opportunity.

 

[His Name Is Frank]

Mushrooms all the way. I've tried lsd several times and have yet to have a good time with it. In fact, the last two times I tried it, I was depressed to the point of intense suicidal thoughts the day after. Mushrooms have never made me feel like that. Quite the opposite.

 

[Vader]

So what this poll tells us it that we're all dudes...

 

[Sub_Jester]

I was really into LSD when i first started (about 3 years ago now) an did had try shrooms a couple of time and they did almost nothing at all then i moved to another state (where they grew a bit better) and got my first break though experience on them and i gotta say my view totally change after that and i enjoy them a hell of alot more then acid now days, but in saying that i still love both .
