[Comparison Subthread] Acid vs. Mushrooms

The nature of hallucinatory themes is generally considered to be intrinsic in the hallucinagen itself, although not with strict limitations. Eat a mexican mushroom and chances are you will find yourself witnessing some "Aztec' type superimpositions on surfaces...eating acid will inevitably produce 'fractal' type patterns.

Different theories abound...take your pick lol.
 
a question for the ages.

My own spin on it. Id say shrooms are a much more organic natural tripping.. liek your really not that far form normal.. but the world feels liek its breathign and undulating over itself with you in the middle (nt:i barely hallucinate on anythgin but DMT. [unlucky i guess, but thems tha breaks :(. Whereas acid feels liek a millign needls crawolign up yrou spine and tickling you all the way up untill the claw grasps the back of yrou head and shows you the hard reality. (im my own experience which is notably differing to most of my freinds) i have an almost mescaline experience on acid.. where the finer details come out at me... the dirt and grim on everything looks almost surreal... and of course everythgin breaths but in a much clearer almost harsher way.
 
ACID vs SHROOMS

MUSHROOMS or ACID

Mushrooms are nautral and fun.

ACID is what I would really call a TRIP though
If you ask me it is more like an entire JOURNEY. It don't matter to me. I would just be glad i was tripping on something. When you are on one or the other it don't really matter cause you are having fun either way.

JUST REMEMBER.......Think the HAPPY THOUGHTS


-PEACE
 
how similar to acid are mushrooms?

ACID-mind altering expierience, Peaceful, can't control the trip very much just have to go with the flow, What you can say as being the
coolest shit known to man, mad visuals

MUSHROOMS- confusing, VERY VERY FUNNY, controlable to a point, nautral

Not Similar at all

but if you want to TRIP MAD BALLS......EAT.......ACID

if you just want to chill and laugh your ass off EAT......MUSHROOMS
 
I like how the descriptions for LSD and mushrooms have both totally matched numerous times in this thread.. Im not saying that this is bad... What I am saying is that psychedelic drugs deal directly with your mind.... So no one can tell you a comparison, as everyone's differs, and yours will too... The only way you will ever know is to take both substances...

The only true difference is length, in which LSD lasts almost twice as long as mushrooms.. In that respect I would strat with mushrooms.. That way if you find that tripping is not for you, or it is too intense, you will only have to deal with it for 3 hours or so... Not 6..
 
Having tried both, i definetly preferred my trip on mushrooms.It was much more intense and visual, whereas the acid just gave me a very strange (but enlightening) feeling.
 
^ i disagree :)

i agree with silverfucked - the only reasonable conclusion i can draw is the obvious one. different drugs affect different people differently.

alasdair
 
Silverfucked: actually, the difference is not just length. Mushrooms are simply nowhere near as strong as LSD and is therefor recommend for first-time trippers. I don't see how anyone could even compare the two. LSD is a whole different class then mushrooms (which aren't even illegal where I live).
 
I don`t get it either, I`ve never done acid, but I`ve heard from friends that it is stronger than shroomz, which I believe, because I simply don`t think shroomz are that strong anymore(maybe I did them too much, who knows).

Mushrooms are not illegal here(although the dried ones are now, stupid stuff, don`t they dry automatically, and as if ppl can`t dry them themselves) and I only ever really got F`d up(fo lack of better words) on shroomz when I first started using them. I want to try acid some day in the future, not yet though, and I`ll compare the two then.
 
"Mushrooms are simply nowhere near as strong as LSD"

I don't get it. 1 hit of acid and a half 1/8th of shrooms are pretty similar in "stength".
Then again 5 grams of shrooms will blow your ego out of the water. 500 mics of acid will likely do the same thing.

Since shrooms seem to have a steeper dose/response curve I'd actually say they were "stronger". And between my mushroom and LSD trips the strongest one was mushrooms.
 
Hmm...I guess yer from the US. I've heard more people from that shit country say shrooms are stronger then acid. Perhaps it has something to do with the insane doses you people take (500mics of acid....jesus christ). A typical dutch dose of shrooms is about 20 grs (fresh). I have no idea how this compares to dried shrooms, as drying them is illegal here and considering you can get some from the shop whenever you need them, there is little point in drying them.

What is always advised around here, which I can back from my own experiences, is to take shrooms first, as they are less strongh and cause less anxiety, to get familliar with tripping first. But as I said, might have something to do with dosage. People here rarely take more then the dosage they get at the smartshop.
 
^^^
Yep, unfortunately from the US.

When I said 500mics will blow you out of the water I didn't mean we normally take that much acid (although some do).

20 grams fresh = about 2 grams dried... this is typically how much shrooms I eat as well.
 
For me, LSD lasts significantly longer. The come-up is somewhat unnoticed at times, and it hits you hard off and on. It's more of a mind trip, but visuals are strong as well. It's more of a serious trip. LSD seems to be really intense and give you an "on the edge" feeling.

Shrooms, in my opinion come on very easy and peaceful. The trip is very beautiful and visual, and posesses strange times of laughter. It's slightly more natural feeling and more relaxed. It doesn't seem to come off and on and lasts shorter than LSD.

Overall, I find both chemicals to be just as much influential to me as the other. I could not choose a favorite.
 
Acid vs Shrooms? Is this a boxing match?

They have a lot in common, and they have a lot of differences. I don't think it's fair to say one is "better" than the other. It is comparing apples to oranges. Personally I prefer mushrooms, but nothing I've ever tried has the penetrating action of LSD. It get's into everything like no other psychedelic can.

I take either one depending on what I am looking for at the time and what I am in the mood for. I very rarely take LSD. It is just (for me) too long of a commitment to do more than a couple of times a year.

I find the larger dose of mushrooms that I take the more depressed or worried I get after a trip.
Take this weekend for example, I dosed 2 dry grams, not all that much. After I got finished giggling and laughing I began to think of all my problems and how I was going to solve them. I began to worry, and felt a need to start right then and there on a solution. It wasn't that bad really.. uncomfortable yes but it was definetly bearable although it is sometimes so uncomfortable that I post-pone shrooming until I can get some benzos to take after the trip and just knock myself out.
No idea if this happens with acid.. never tried it.

I COMPLETELY agree with this statement. The times that I use shrooms recreationally are few and far between. Unless I am totally distracted by donig things and playing around I inevitably start to think about my life and EVERYTHING about it. Wondering what I will be doing when I get out of college, what I will do about this, how will I handle situation x, etc.

Mushrooms are not always so playful with me.

Well if you ask me, this is the whole reason to trip. To be shown 'where you are at' and 'what needs to be done.' Of course, you are the one who end up needing to make the changes. The psychedelic can't do it for you.

I can't believe you assumed the name of the genious behind Pink Floyd, and yet are complaining about psychedelics doing what they are supposed to do for you. It's more than just fun and giggles.

Smoke a joint, drink a beer, or even tell a joke if you just want to laugh. And LSD (in my opinion) is even GREATER in its power to show us where we are at, and where we need to go than mushrooms are. Well maybe greater is the wrong word, but it is more forceful in the way it does it. For me, mushrooms are much more gentle.

Although I realize many will disagree with me, I find LSD to be probably the LEAST recreational of all the psychedelics. That and perhaps smoked/short-acting tryptamines such as DMT, 5-MeO-DMT and DPT. LSD is the last thing I would ever take if I just wanted to have a good time and feel nice.
