[Comparison Subthread] Acid vs. Mushrooms

^ The Ergot alkaloid I assume you're referring to from the mold on Ergot Rye or Morning Glory Seeds are, as far as I know, LSA and not LSD-25. Very different substances. LSD-25 (acid) is not a naturally occuring substance. It's not 'as natural' as mushrooms.

Still, in a funny way, everything under the sun is natural, even if it's a synthetic chemical !

-Bare Head: Yes, I've thrown up from acid before, but it felt more of a psychic purge than a symptom of nausea.
 
I like LSD so much more then psilocybin. Its gotten to the point where I just won't eat fungus anymore, I just don't enjoy it. LSD every once in a while is great fun, though I only trip at concerts nowadays. I've always like MDMA the best out of any pyschedelic though. I've had my fun with pyschedelics, but now I just moved on to downers and only can take a trip once in a while.
 
Now that ive had a real acid experience, i can say that i like shrooms better. Acid is still fun, but its tooo long and intense, pluss the comdown is worse.

But overall, id rather be on shrooms at a party, than acid..... i still wanna see which one goes better with E though.
 
I use to like to mix them together every few trips!
LSD first; then 1-1/2 hours into it, id take 2 or 3 grams of shrooms.

Picking between the two ~LSD~ is best.
Yummy

I love both very deeply.

Shrooms: Earthy wisdom; contact with other entities; spiritual guides; not too long. Hilarity.

Acid: Liquid consciousness; crisp clean trip; easy to eat; bundles of energy; acid visuals; dancyness; crystal clarity. Acid laughter.

If it came down to choosing one I suppose the acid. But both rock the Casba.

Wow. Those are my sentiments exactly. However, if I had access to pure psilocybin/psilocin, then I could not choose one. Mushrooms lose out in the forced choice simply because of all the non-active components that are hard to digest.

Just wondering which you would prefer and why?!
Me since I have never had shrooms then I would have to say LSD but my visuals aren't that great! but I am working on it! I wanna a drug that will make me see little evil trolls tackleing each other in front of me and playing jokes on people and having people morph!!! I only see Trails and shadows of dead bodies, fake deer chasing me trying to kill me, but thats about it. If anyone has advice on how I can improve my visuals that would be greatly appreciated!

Dear Psychopath,

You might want to try taking more, or attempt to find another chemical that you like. Like, PCP or DMT, for example, will help you see these little evil trolls.
 
LSD or Shrooms?

My friend and I have been preparing to try psychedelics for awhile now (if you saw my other thread: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=469093) by trying pot just to get ourselves used to the idea of being out of our heads (i know psychedelics and marijuana are a completely different experience so please don't reiterate this fact).

We were originally going to try mushrooms first, but due to a post i saw recently(http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showpost.php?p=7788149&postcount=3), it got me wondering if i should try acid first instead.

I was looking for a comparison of the two drugs. I've heard acid is an easier drug to deal with, and that shroom trips are a little more difficult to handle. Is this true?

discuss.
 
shrooms can be intense at large doses - but, unlike acid, you can take less than full dose to ease into the experience - take like 1/8th and split it and it would be less intense than 1 tab each of LSD..

you could always cut an LSD blotter in half or into quarters

I would say to go with the acid , its a little easier on the mind than mushrooms can be. But shrooms are awesome I like them both. Honestly you'll probably have an awesome time with whatever choice you make but I would go with the acid. It was my first psychedelic I ever took and it was a great introduction to the wonderful world of tripping.

It has a nice and long duration too so you can make a whole day of it

I would drop your doses somewhere secluded in nature :)<3

Enjoy your Trip
 
We have 2 big threads on this topic:

POLL: LSD vs. Psilocin

Acid Vs. Mushrooms Comparisons

Like I said; mushrooms are difficult but also very rewarding. I really think a dificult mushroom trip can be a transformative, healing experience. <3 :)

Have a read through those threads. Lots of discussion in there. Actually I'm going to merge this with the second thread I linked for the sake of forum neatness. :)

I agree , after a nice headfuck I usually feel really refreshed and thankful

Lower dose mushrooms trips , like under 3 grams are pretty easy on me and my ego will remain intact and it heightens the way I see beauty around me. When I dose really heavy like multiple 1/8's things tend to get choatic. I dont know where I am , I forget im a person , Im immersed in visuals and the sensory overload is going in full swing. Sometimes I talk to people/enity's that arent even there physically through telepathy. This might scare the shit out of some people , but I like it.

After you start tripping more , you'll seek those powerful experiences

Oh .. and having sex on shrooms is the bee's knees :D<3
 
I tripped on mushrooms dozens of times before ever tripping on acid. I had an impression of acid as a bigger, badder drug, plus back then I thought "natural" drugs were better than manmade ones. When I took LSD, I was surprised at how gentle it was. It is a more visual drug, and lacks the depth of confusion and mental distortion that mushrooms produce. Mushrooms can also be quite nauseating, and no trip is made better by unpleasant physical sensations, Having said that, acid lasts for a long time, is visually intense, and is exhausting. Mushrooms tend to make me introspective, calm and contemplative, whereas acid is more stimulating and extroverted. Mushrooms have muted, earthy visuals, whereas acid is more electric, kaleidoscopic and flowing visually. Mushrooms create a thoughful, giggly headspace, whereas acid makes me just marvel at everything. YMMV of course. My first trip was a huge dose of mushrooms, and I wouldn't change it, but LSD is also a good candidate. At the end of the day, it has to be your decision, depending on what you want from the trip.

Too true. For me, mushrooms are one of the deepest drugs for self-examination.
 
I did mushrooms about a year before LSD. I was 17 for the mushrooms and 18 for the LSD. I'm glad I did the mushrooms first. I never loved them that much but didn't get any bad effects from them. After about 6 months with experimenting with LSD I walked around for about a month thinking I was Doctor Manhattan and I could fly and rearrange all the molecules in my body. I suggest waiting till your older to try these drugs because once you open up the 'how do I know that this is reality if I've seen another dimension and talked to trees' can of worms its hard to go back. If your going to try one I suggest mushrooms first, they're always seemed like a step down from LSD to me, LSD is however about 19 times better than mushrooms. The worst mushrooms ever did to me was turn me into an animist for a few months because I thought I gained the power to emphatically link with trees and animals. That was a little less bad for me than thinking I could walk through walls.
 
i really didnt enjoy shrooms so this is biased because i love acid. shrooms had me convinced that everything i had ever known was a lie and that my real life had been nothing but a bad trip and it was the trip that was the only that was real... for me its like on shrooms your crazy and the world is swirling around you (suffocating, for me) but on acid the world is crazy and you are an explorer trying to see and feel everything and its the best most amazing it has ever been
 
should u try acid before shrooms?

I've always heard it's good to take shrooms before acid because it's less intense. how do the experiences differ?
 
they're very different drugs, but I guess it'd be good in the sense that you learn what it feels like to be in a different world hah
 
i think they are similar enough to find out either way the 'trip' experience.. the deal is that with shrooms it is easy to estimate and take a small dose - take say 1/16th and you would have a less intense experience as from one full tab or one drop of acid.. but, i don't think it is bad to have an intense first trip in any case.. not everyone has an unpleasant time with the unfamiliar feelings - my first trip was great and i ate a full hit of blotter..
 
Its an old wives tale that mushrooms are less intense than acid. I've never had acid but I've had some very intense mushroom trips. I've also talked to alot of people who have had both and the general consensus is that mushrooms tend to be pushier and less forgiving than lsd.
