acid is definatly way more straining on your body, both mentally and physically, but thats because overall acid is the better trip in my opinion. when you drop acid you can feel your body fill up with energy then when you come on you feel like a ton of bricks. shrooms are not as bad. I can eat a eigth of shrooms and trip for 5 hours then as soon as the trip goes away i feel perfectly normal again and feel fine. in my opinion acid is way better but everyone has there own opinion so try them both and then see what you like more.

hmmmmm, i'd have to say that generally i prefer acid, but i think that's just because it's harder for me to find. shrooms are fun and u cna get kick ass visuals(i watched my christmas tree melt into the floor one evening), but nothing compares to kick ass acid. about 3 years ago (my second trip) i took two green gels and watched who framed roger rabbit-i couldn't tell the difference between cartoon and non-cartoon!!!
however, if u really wanna go all out (and be stupid about it, take both. i recommend splitting a quarter bag of shrooms with a good friend. when you're peaking off that, take a hit of liquid. about 12 hours later, you should be able to sleep and wake up 6 hours later with a lovely throbbing headache!!! but hey, it's fun

I think shrooms kick the arse out of acid personally but I think it's personal preference. What I love about shrooms is the melting visuals and even when I've done acid with people who are getting mad visuals with the same dose as me I've not got much visually.

Acid rules...
To me there's a big difference between Acid and Shrooms.
Acid is a very psychoanalytic drug to me. It can condense 10 years of psychotherapy to one 14 hour trip! It takes a magnifying glass to your psyche and forces you to examine every aspect of your personality. That's fantastic for your first few trips, but it gets pretty old after awhile. From what I've seen, people eventually "grow out" of acid. Most people will trip a lot for a period, then realize they're just not getting anything out of it anymore, and taper off. At least that's what happened to me and my friends.
On the other hand, to me mushrooms are a much more gentle, interesting drug. Being a totally natural substance, the trip feels less "artificial" and much more organic. Not to mention the trip doesn't last anywhere near as long, and unlike LSD, it's very easy to fall asleep after your trip. Also, on a 'shroom trip you don't focus as much inward, instead you think more about society, evolution, outer space, etc. And for some reason, lots of people report experiencing "found wisdom" on 'shroom trips. That is, they come back from their trip with totally new ideas that almost seem to be a "gift" from the mushroom itself.
Which is better, 'shrooms or LSD? Like others have said, they're two totally different substances, you can't really compare. The answer depends on what type of person you are!

In a far distant removed reality from this one an alternate me may have had very extensive experience with acid and somewhat extensive experience with psilocybin mushrooms. For the record:
Acid- More intense, has a speedy quality to it. Thoughts tend to be clearer and almost "razor sharp" if that makes sense to you. Cause-effect is not too much disturbed, if anything is amplified. I think of LSD as the "mental amplifier" because it makes everything bigger or more, such as feelings of happiness or paranoia. After the first 10 or so trips it seems to settle into a groove of being very physically relaxing while still mentally taxing (thinking so much so fast can give you a headache, man).
Mushrooms- More dreamy, qualitatively similar to a marijuana high but more intense. Colors stand out more, visuals are more pronounced (I do not believe my alternate world counterpart gets much in the way of visuals from acid). Tends to be harder on the stomach, but less lilely to leave one feeling completely spent the next day, perhaps due to its shorter duration and less intense character.
Overall, I've found acid preferable for mental work and aesthetic stimulation, whereas I feel mushrooms are more recreational. Together they can be quite an intense and interesting combo with acid leaving a more clearheaded high while mushrooms contribute visually. They produce cross-tolerance so they are obviously similar in the way they interact with the brain.

anything natural is better in my opinion!

try the bluelight search function first
the next thing you should do is read about the history, chemical composition, and psychological effects of both drugs
then decide for yourself...
Personally, I would take mushrooms. I think they're less condusive to bad experiences, and the dosage tends to fall within a narrower range (if you know what species you are taking). But people will say the same about acid
really it's just a personal thing.

Goddmanit wtf is up with this "natural is better" shit. Natural things fucking make chemicals too. Just because something is made by a plant doesn't mean it is better. Datura is natural, why not eat that? So are amanitas. Different people prefer different drugs. Shrooms are a bit less edgy though. But I hate this hippy talk about natural is always better. Do you really think that DMT made in a lab is somehow different than the DMT thoroughly extracted from mimosa hostilis (granted of course the extraction is refined to the point of no impurities.)

first of all. you know where the chemical is coming from. the earth. and its not a "hippy" thing.
i would rather eat a mushroom. know that im getting a mushroom experience than eat some paper that could contain rat poison!
thats just me and my preferance tho.

I see your point about knowing that it isn't cut with anything, but granted you know the contents there is no difference where the chemical comes from. Also who the fuck is gonna put rat poison in acid? Do you think chemists get a rush out of killing off their customer base?

Somebody answer about nausea and shrooms. I did 'em once with way too much beer. The buzz was really pretty trippy, but I got sick. That's the trouble with mixing things. You don't know what did what.
Acid is pretty convenient. Easy to take, almost no negative 'body' effects, and the trip is pretty clean and slow to work up. I'm really partial to acid, but then it is my 'drug of choice'.
Mushrooms entail eating a 'quantity' of nasty tasting stuff, but the trip seemed 'acid like' but with a more 'natural' feel, but then maybe it was the beer?
The argument about 'which is better' isn't valid. Each has it's own advantages and disadvantages, and the trip itself is subjective.
Read some of the trips report here, and read about them at Erowid, then try once of each. Only you can know what you like better. Start with whatever is most convenient!

rat poison in acid?
oh my dear goodness NO.
your worst case senario: bunk acid.
BUT, however partial I may be to acid, I would agree that shrooms would be a much better way to start out anyone's tripping adventures.
When you are tripping on acid, it owns your ass, and there is nothing you can do about it until you come down. No matter how experienced a person my be, they never do know what could happen. I have seen some seasoned veterans lose their damn heads, mostly due to a lack of respect for its power.
There is deffinitely a difference between the two experiences, and acid is way more of a chemical I-am-going-to-fuck-with-your-brain thing. Shrooms are slightly more gentle, and usually a better way to figure things out for the first time.
Just remember, do NOT try to fuck with acid, just enjoy the ride!
