[Comparison Subthread] Acid vs. Mushrooms

personally, i think the best way to experience these chemicals is to do them at the same time. I'd been eating mushrooms and acid for a few years before last weekend, but for some reason i'd never gotten around to eating them both simultaneously. I'll post a trip report, yall should check it out....

but yeah, for the most part i agree with these comparisons. On lsd, i find the colors to be a lot more "neon" and electric looking than mushrooms. shrooms usually give me lots of browns, greens, piss yellow, stuff like that. on acid, i get a full color spectrum played out before my eyes. i also notice that lsd seems to have more "direction" to the trip, as opposed to the meandering fashion of a mushroom trip... it's like the acid's trying to get you to realize something, and mushrooms are like "here man, here's this, here's this, now what do you think of all that? scared shitless, huh?!"
 
Personally i think they are both potent psychedelics that will make you trip out hard. IMO LSD is just more intense and more electrical.
 
Aye...so energetic and electric! Like lightning!

"here man, here's this, here's this, now what do you think of all that? scared shitless, huh?!"

LMAO! True tho. :D

Acid: "Think about how this works...if everybody thought this way...look inside yourself...see how far you can go with this...amazing isn't it?" =D
 
What are you guys thinking of as high doses? I'm just curious and this seems like th place to ask it. Being from the right part of Florida, last summer/fall I had nights where 100+ caps were downed by each person. I'm not used to thinking about shrooms in weight because like I said, I'm from the right area, I guess. I didn't even know you could sell them untill last year, after three years of doing them.

I really don't know how many caps are in 1/8, but I do know that I've had well over 100 caps to myself in a night. Would this be like 1/2 or maybe an oz??? After a couple nights of this, I'd definatly consider this to be a "spiritual dosage!!"


As for the topic: The descriptions given above are right on. Except the control. Last time I ate a five strip there was just no control. More like mindless(at least it seems now, didn't then) wandering around the forest, listening to the drum circles in the background.
 
Acid vs mushrooms

I would especially interested what the differents of the visiuals betweens acid and psylos are?

Furthermore the state of mind of two psychedelics what are the differences while tripping?

Do you have the same way of thinking on the two drugs or are there differences?

Do you realize a difference while tripping because mushrooms is from nature and acid is made by humans?
 
there is a difference, but the reason is not that shrooms are natural while acid is not.

there are several man-made substances that more or less mimic the effects of shrooms...


personally I find acid to present a fuller spectrum of experiences. In what way exasctly this is so I am unable to say right now but surely others who agree will be able to explain this one better or perhaps even point you to a thread.

I think it is easier to have a 'bad' trip on acid. It can be very thinky whereas on mushrooms my capacity for verbal thought can so impaired that, although it may be emotionally unsettling usually there isn't that much left of it later that keeps me shattered. With acid, it's more like "you never know", is my feeling.

The psychological / overal experiental differences are subtle but unmistakable.

Visually it really depends. I guess shrooms are more of a surefire visual material. But I really enjoy how acid defamiliarises even without necessarily 'giving' you visuals. With acid, I find that I have to go and 'make' the visuals - always just where the eye doesn't focus... with shrooms the colours are warmer, but with acid they can be well intense... acid is somehow visually sharper, I feel.


Be safe.
 
there are some good threads on this but the search engine isn't working right now.
 
Yeah,theres tons of threads on this...IMO your far more likely to have a bad trip on shrooms,they just seem(IMO)...ah,heavier.LSD has more interesting visuals but not the overwhelming intensity of shrooms nor the "headfuck".
 
^^^ Agreed, aloowishus.

I just HAVE to say, please stop the whole "natural vs manmade" thing. Actually, LSD also starts in nature, humans just aleter it a bit so that it becomes LSD.
 
Acid is like psychic drano, imo... I think humans and mushrooms share a temporal resonance, developed over hundreds of thousands of years. There is some kind of symbiosis going on, we need them and they need us.
 
I also feel that acid is energetically more draining. It's quite a push out of one's energy field. Shrooms are milder in that respect.
 
To me, mushrooms have more of a dreamy "organic" feel. The hallucinations are smooth and flowing. Patterns smoothly become apparent, and fade back out. The colors are vibrant, but more earthy. The shapes are rounded, curved, and blended.

LSD, on the other hand has a sort of an awake, electric feel to me. The colors are vibrant and neon. The shapes I see are sharp and geometric. Sharp angles, quick transitions. Patterns are in stark contrast to whatever they are on.

The mushroom trip is a lot darker to me. This is not to say that I'd necesarily be more likley to have a bad trip on them than LSD... but the difference is character is very apparent to me.
 
there are some good threads on this but the search engine isn't working right now.

The search engine is flakey. It worked for 'lsd* psilocybin' but not 'lsd* mushrooms'. I don't know why.

Anyways, I found the older threads and merged them in.
 
Acid vs Mushrooms

Hi everyone

I'm new here so sorry if this has been covered 1001 times before. I just want to ask those who have tried both acid and shrooms before, what are the main similarities/differences between the experiences?

I have taken shrooms loads of times, and while my first trip (a large dose of strong shrooms in Amsterdam several years ago) was fairly mind-blowing, since then I've become more and more "comfortable" with them and now I don't really see them as a major "scary" drug like perhaps I used to. Although I've had a few kind of frightening episodes, I've never had a trip that was 100% "bad", and the vast majority of my experiences have been positive.

So naturally my curiosity leads me to consider taking acid, and I guess I just want to know what to expect. I originally thought acid was meant to be the same as mushrooms but stronger and longer-lasting, but reading through some other threads it seems a lot of people find mushrooms give you more of a spiritual "shamanic", "possessed" vibe and are more inducive to bad trips, whereas with acid the emphasis is more on the visuals. If this is the case then I've probably got nothing to worry about! Or do I?

This post has already gone on way longer than I intended, so I'll stop typing now. Any thoughts on the matter would be much appreciated!
 
Hmmm mushrooms are a more introspective type experience IMO, personally i prefer acid but love both of them. LSD obviously lasts longer and i feel that i get more out of acid on a, personal/emotional/spiritual level than off mushies. In fact i fucking love acid, but like all things if you do it all the time it becomes kind of mundane, best say every fortnight or even every month, though i'd be delirious if i could know i'd get even once this summer!
Yours cheerfully
Zophen.
 
Everybody reacts to these things pretty differently. Either one has the capability of inducing a spiritual experience, so I would say it depends more on the user and the user's mindset. To answer your question though, if you have tripped on mushrooms "loads of times" as you say, you could probably handle acid.
 
for me acid is a nonstop rollercoaster of fun......pure visual excitement.......
shrooms on the other hand give me a very emotional trip......
 
I'm on the same page as you. I've taken shrooms a good amount of times and never had a fully bad trip, in fact my trips have been life changing and very powerful. Which intriguied me to check out acid because it does have some similarities with shrooms.

I've been researching acid pretty heavily for the past few months and have come to some conclusions which I believe to be/hope are true. Mushrooms tend to be very spiritual and shamanic, and commonly include the seeing of entities. Acid is a much more personal/introspective drug and it fucks with your mind to a very intense level. People say that acid breaks down your mental defense systems and takes you where it wants to(thats the deal with people figuring out life issues, etc.) This of course can lead to disaster for people who do not want to know that much about themselves, but for other people who take the trip as it is, this seems to be very blissful and enlightening.

As far as visuals go, supposedly the visuals on acid are very vivid and look completely real, whereas with shrooms it is somewhat obvious that the hallucinations are of things that are not there. With acid it is hard to tell what is a hallucination and what is not.

After all my researching of acid, I have decided that I am going to take 1-2 blotter hits and see how it is. What got me to decide to take it, is the fact that it is very personal which can lead to amazing self growth(my main reason for taking psychedelics). It seems like the most personal/introspective of the psychedelics, which is probably why so many people are in love with the chemical.
 
i like both of them alot. theyre similar yet different? they can both be introspective and both can be visual but theyre just kinda.....different. however i like one just as much as the other and if you can handle yourself on shrooms you shouldnt worry at all about acid.
