[Comparison Subthread] Acid vs. Mushrooms

I believe shrooms to be much more spiritual and nature-friendly than I find acid.

I think acid's much more of a confusing head trip than shrooms are.

But the main difference I tell people, when I want to give a simple answer, is that trees on acid are all pointy and ominous. Trees are friendly on shrooms ;)

If you guys like mushrooms then 2CB is where its at as the visuals are great. the mind is clear and the body is good an all in all good experience much more productive then shrooms or acid, Nexus is where its at.

i like mushrooms a lot more than 2cb. Plus, you can't really OD on tryptamines.
 
i think that the indicidual set and setting has a huge amount to do with this 'shrooms are genial/natural/whatever and acid is scary/pointy/whatever' position which many people take.

i've had 'pointy' trips on shrooms and very laid back trips on acid. for what that's worth.

alasdair
 
When i tryed acid for the first time i remember feeling really relaxed and amzed by everything that was going around me, and never really felt scared or trapped. When i took mushrooms i felt on edge and aware of everything around me, and i felt it take over my body much more than acid did. I definately prefre acid to shrooms.
 
having tried both like many people on the forum its a big arguement of organic vs inorganic. Potency does sway on both of them, as your not really gurentee'd anything cause either of them could be bunk. Although identifing good mushrooms is easy cause they bruise blue. Anyways, most amount of mushrooms ive taken is like half an eighth, and most amount of acid ive taken is 2 paper hits. While both have produced visuals. I find mushrooms to offer maybe a more of a body buzz in addition to the mental buzz. Mushrooms often render me retarded, and even making a phone call is hard. In a nutshell, common task's can be a burden it seems on mushrooms. Your body temprature rise's on mushrooms, and you generally do more shit then you realize youve done. Acid for me , i was able to stay more with it. I even have went to the hospital fryin on acid to get blood work done. They both are good though.

After readin alot of post's on here it seems user specific. Some people have the same confusion I get off of mushrooms, while on acid.
 
I've always enjoyed LSD more, when taken in higer doses the ego loss that the substance produces cannot be matched by anything I've tried. And unlike most I find mushrooms can be much harder to handle.
 
Also I've found that I personally enjoy LSD more at concerts, which is my favorite place to trip and usually the only place I will do it anymore. But thats just me, I agree with the people that say one isn't better than the other, and I also agree that different drugs cause people to have different reactions. I personally prefer LSD, but thats because I like the energy and stimulation. I'm not huge into always having a spirtual or earth-shattering trip, if it happens great, if not thats fine I'm more in dancing and having a good time.

okay, i'd like to know where you got these numbers, i never saw a typical dutch dose.. the typical sold smartshop dose is around the 30 grams, fresh, costing about 12/15 euro's. but there are many different species and so many different doses and prices, typical is not the word. btw, if you go to the shop everytime you need mushrooms, isn't that going to cost you a fortune? dry shrooms are a lot easier to store, to weigh, imo to eat (fresh ones are massive and shrooms make me gag, so less is better)and you can make tea more easily out of dried mushrooms. and if you seek out a mushroom with almost no psilocin content, the strength doesn't degrade much over time.

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.

mileage may vary, but still, you're conclusion doesn't have any good arguments, it's your personal experience, everybody reacts differently to drugs. for you lsd causes more anxiety, for others mushrooms do, it's not better to start with mushrooms because they aren't that strong as lsd is, they are 2 different chemicals, how could people say the one is stronger as the other. they have their own special way of showing you the world, it's like comparing dmt and 5-meo-dmt, wich one is better, stronger, more spiritual etc, no point in trying to compare because they are personal opinions. and the only way to find out is to take them both. btw, the dose in the smartshops around here is pretty strong for a first timer if you ask me, this weekend i shared a dose with a friend(each 17,5 grams fresh i think) and the intensity of the mushrooms reminded me of a 5-meo-dmt trip, i was in awe the whole time. anyway, mushrooms can be as strong as acid can be and vice versa if taken in the right dosages.

The working (in the brain) of shrooms can be compared to the working of DMT and LSD. There is also cross tolerance between psylocibine/psylocine, DMT and LSD. And on the erowid FAQ of shrooms they say: 'Some people might be familiar with LSD-25. Well they are bit similar, but still very different.'
Furthermore, I agree with Blowmonky because there isn't any standard dose for shrooms, because there are a lot of different shrooms. And if you have fresh shrooms you have to divide it with 10 for the weight of dried shrooms. But if you have truffles you have to divide it with 3

and I would say LSD anyday. Although the most shrooms I have ever dove has been 1/8th of cubensis. LSD all the way.


i agree 100 percent except i started takin quats of cubensis... completely not worth the poison
 
I prefer shrooms solely because they last for only 4 hours or so. When I take acid its fine and dandy at first, but 6 hours into it I want to be sober again.
 
the first time u did shrooms how much did u consume and what were the effects and the first time u did acid how much did u consume and what were the effects?
 
you seem to be the only one my posts bother,if people on here feel the need to reply to my question they will point blank period.its not a beginner question im trying to get to know how everyones experience was their first time whats so beginner about that they do it in other forums.go look around u will se similar question IE how was your first experience on such and such

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.'

Although I realize many will disagree with me, I find LSD to be probably the LEAST recreational of all the psychedelics.

Well said on both accounts.
 
must be frank.. never tried them. but i will try soon. i've done salvia and a couple of times od DMT..

from what i've heard LSD is more mental-trip, less visual. and mushrooms are more visual and less mental. is that right?
 
^^^

actually it's totally the other way around for me, trips are VERY visual for me, while mushrooms are visual but the headgames they play with me kick the shit out of lsd.

Truer words never spoken. I think you're nuts if you think LSD is predictable. You want unpredictable? try a thumbprint of silver crystal...
 
i like shrooms more, acid is fun but it has more of this research chemical feeling if u know what i mean.. and i swear if u took 10grams or so of dry cubes the trip would be much more deeper than any amount of acid.. i believe that with shrooms you could get to same level as with 5-meo-dmt if u took enuff.. but dont think thats possible with acid, and i like shroom visuals much more too but i suppose this is up to everyones own opinion which they prefer
 
^^
I dunno Lokki. Any amount of Acid over, lets say, 1000 mics, is hard to touch with any amount of shrooms.
I had a friend who ingested about 17 grams of dry cubes before his stomach wouldnt let him eat any more (i know there are people here who have taken more), and he said it was probably the most spiritual and unbelievable experience of his life, but I still dont think it would be able to amount to a 7,500 hit thumbprint dose of LSD...

With that said, I like Shrooms just as much as Acid.
