[Comparison Subthread] Acid vs. Mushrooms

Researchers have said that the peak experince of LSD, psylocibin and mescaline are subjectively very similar, except for time duration. They act of the same receptor sites. Expectations will, however, alter the effects.
 
I've done shrooms more than acid (due to availability) and I can't really say I've gained anything important from shrooms. The trip tends to be fucking insane with a shitty comedown. Also my stomach never stops bothering me the whole time so it's hard to really enjoy it.

I find acid to be a much cleaner and natural trip. It's less visual but leaves me able to function on some level. I guess you could say it just feels right for me.
 
"With acid it is hard to tell what is a hallucination and what is not"
I disagree. I never tried mushrooms but im experienced with acid and have never had problems distinguishing visuals from reality. sometimes it's a bit difficult to exactly tell what color an object has or to tell if the leaves are really moved by wind (they weren't as we were indoors :) ) but other than that i've never had any problems with discerning reality and optical distortion (not even in a trip with visuals all around at 300µg+)
 
I've done high doses of both and combined them.

I find mushrooms to have a lot more body feeling in them, you feel a lot heavier and can't walk. Visuals are ridiculously swirly and your emotions change RAPIDLY. Lastly mushrooms are fairly short lived, lasting only about 6 hours from beginning to end with a 4 hour peak.

Acid is a LOT more visual, patterns coming out of patterns coming out of patterns, etc. I've seen amazing shit, things that blatantly weren't there. It is a stimulant so your quite hyper and its difficult to sleep even the day after. The overall effects last MUCH longer, the longer trip ive had was 14 hours, peak lasted about nine.

I find acid to be a lot better, its easier to ingest, lasts longer, you can walk easily, visuals are better.
 
For me acid is more visual, shrooms are more of a body high, but they are pretty similar, I mean if you've done one you'll recognize the other when you try it. I prefer acid, but that's just a personal preference. But acid does last about twice as long, whether that's good or bad is another matter of personal preference.
 
OK thanks everyone, lots of interesting replies...seems the only thing everyone can agree on is that acid lasts longer! I guess the best plan is just to take some and see what happens :)
 
its all a fungus

lsd is derived from ergot which grows on rye but the impact of acid vs shrooms is much diff.......shrooms to me are more bubbly effervescent mellow...not to say 7gr of cubensis wont induce megalomaniacal visuals but while i have watched UFOS land in my backyard whilst bentupin electricladyland on psilocybin LSD allows the UFOs to land in yer mind and cultivate a new form of life


do not casually eat two hits of acid with no plan or HOMEBASE
setnsetting are key;)

Acid is way better for having fun, hang around and laugh of off everything. Only in very large doses it's really teaching me something.

Mushrooms on the other hand, always teach me something about myself. Though, i don't know which I like the most.
 
I love them both....but...I cant help myself...acid is the best drug Ive ever done! -more fun,energy,colours...
 
Although there are some agreed differences between the two, I believe the two drugs work on the same receptor, 5ht2-A, and most of the differences people are describing are power of suggestion (such as, shrooms are from nature, then the trip will become focused on nature and "organic" visuals may appear).

I think they do feel different, and acid may seem a little more "electrical" but they both can be overwhelming in the same kind of way.

I believe the two substances have no real visual differences. I've tripped on cid over 75 times (its been a few years though) and shrooms/4-ho-mipt (i know, they are different, but the same basically); so I speak from some experience.
 
Mushrooms by far is the winner in my opinion. Much more natual, fun and easy going.

Ppl who disagree have just been unlucky with their shrooms.

I dont agree with the ppl who say acid is more for having fun, I've always had more fun on shrooms probabaly because you don't know what effect a certain quantity is going to have.

Whatever type of hallucinogens you have weather it be 2cb, acid or mushrooms a spirtual experience can trasform itself into your psyche.
I have seen a spiritual experience being on 2cb, however that doesn't make it any better than any other hallucinogen.
 
2 thumbs up for 'shrooms, though acid is great as well..


Might I also point out, that in each country there are different 'common' strains of mushrooms. Even though, ultimately, your consuming much teh same thing, I must say, even when using relative doses for each strain, the trips can be somewhat different.

But anyway, the subs we get here in Vic, Australia, are my favourite drug in the whole wide world. but yeh. acid good too.
 
Shrooms VS. Acid

If you've done both, which do you prefer, mushrooms or acid? Which was more fun? Which made you feel better? Which was a better experience? Which would you rather do?
