POLL: psilocin vs. LSD

[trancedeviate]

I don't like mushrooms too much anymore, either.


I'll take the acid.

 

[Al_S_Dee]

Depends on what you're looking for. For a fun recreational trip, i'd lean towards acid. Not to say that it can't be deeply spiritual, but its better for recreation in my opinion.

Mushrooms are just dark and ancient, organic visuals, shows you how things really are. Can be fucking scary or ridiculously euphoric. Thankfully i've only really experienced the latter, although i've seen someone lose their shit completely on mushrooms. Never on LSD.

Not to say it doesn't happen though, because both are capable of psychological harm in susceptible people.

^Pretty much as I perceive it.. we are joined in the eternal cosmic agreement on this point!

Mushrooms will reveal to you how it is if you take enough. LSD requires a bit of work on my part, but nonetheless, I LOVE THEM BOTH. Mushrooms are much more spiritual for me in the sense that I do them less often and they always blow me away. LSD is still deeply spiritual for me but also is more recreational.

 

[[éS]Infinite]

LSD got my vote, but only because I can't get/do it as much as psilocin/mushrooms/iprocin and such. I still love them a lot, but have gotten to know them too well and just don't have that bond with LSD (but know how great it is!).

 

[cegli]

Mushrooms are by far my favorite psychedelic. I still haven't been able to find another psychedelic with the same mental depth as mushrooms (well except dmt/ayahuasca maybe, but that's quite different).

I do think it's personality related though. I starting using psychedelics to experience mental changes and examine the world through new eyes, not as much for having fun. Mushrooms totally changed my life in the way I view nature and appreciate things, while things like acid and the 2c-s are mostly just a good time for me.

Don't get me wrong though, if I'm at an amusement park or an arcade or something, I'll take acid. At secluded beaches with forest all around, definitely mushrooms.

 

[bluedolphono]

I definitely prefer LSD, but only because it's cheaper. lol

LSD and shrooms both have their individual advantages that I like.

Like, I think LSD is more of a group drug. It's mostly about the vibes of those around you. Shrooms is more of a solitary enlightenment. Definitely all about the vibes you have as an individual, it's not so much dependent on those around you as LSD is.

I like both. So far, I've done more LSD than shrooms though.

I agree with you there. I did have a friend however go crazy on LSD. He tried to sleep with everyone and when they said no, he would start to beat them until they were down and then attempt to rip their flesh off with his teeth. It was barbaric. He tried to eat me as well. Thing that sucked the most is that I was tripping too. The WORST trip I EVER had.

Acid vs. Shrooms

Recently i went Hippyflipping(ecstasy+shrooms) I took one pill and a half eighth of shrooms. On the shrooms i was seein blending of things and patterns on peoples faces and hearing some weird noises when people talked. I also saw trails(which i belive was MDA in the pill).

My question to you guys is what are the differences from your experiences of shrooms and LSD? Physical and Psychological. The shrooms had me feeling like i was a hippy.


P.S. sorry for that long intro, just thought it might help out with contrasting the two.

 

[VerbalTruist]

How do you feel like you're a hippy? You have nothing but love for the people and world around you? I'm confused.

Mushrooms and LSD are just different. For me Mushrooms are chaotic and wild while LSD is centered and beautiful. The OEV's on LSD are intense while on mushies they aren't. Although thats all dose subjective. On LSD I don't throw up, on mushies I do. On LSD it feels like you're full of energylike waves of it.

Perhaps you should just try it and see? I think that would be best.

 

[Karant]

Mushrooms causes alot more physical energy and excitement for me, and generally puts me in a more sociable state.

BELIVE ME...I am going to try it. Its just a matter of when i can get it and not be sold a listerine strip.

 

[toa$t]

I find them pretty similar for the most part, but I'm with euphoricnod on the tummy troubles (although acid has made me barf too). I find that mushrooms can be more of a warm and wholesome kind of high whereas acid is a bit more frantic and twisted. Of the two I would say I prefer acid, but I haven't done either in a while.

Ouch. Sad that people actually do that.

 

[poppinE]

hasn't happened...yet. Although i have never seen acid i would hope i can distinguish it from a breath strip.

 

[tablehead]

Psilocybin and psycolcin. Because all the blotters i buy are expired or sumthin...

WHat ever happend to microdots acid pills?

 

[Spleh]

lsd given the choice. Shrooms to me are a deeper more personal experience then lsd but less recreational, clearer sort of mind state and a less frantic sort of introspection. I tend to get stuck in these paradoxes on shrooms that i can't shift out of and also i've found they make me think of society as a whole a lot more where as lsd has never really shifted me away from self introspection in that kind of regard. Anyway could right paragraphs about the little differences but i'll leave it there

 

[swilow]

^Spleh! Hello there....

 

[KingChango]

LSD for life

 

[DoorsofPerception]

To me, mushrooms are the most mental, spiritual, overwhelming, beautiful, powerful, horrifying, psychotic, enlightening, in-your-face and amazing psychedelic there is, hands down. I think sometimes people have a hard time having a full mushroom experience because full doses can be a very difficult experience, and if you give in to the fear the experience can become pretty psychotic, causing you to block it out or try your best to ignore it, which results in a sub-par experience that leaves a bad impression. Or, they take too little, in the wrong setting, or get weak mushrooms (as they vary greatly in potency) and then write them off as fun but shallow.

Well said. Mushrooms are hands down my favorite psychedelic on the planet. The have such a deepness and beauty too them even when the trip becomes dark. They give off such a powerful feeling and knowing that they've been used for thousands of years, I feel it's a real privelege to be able to experience what our ancient ancestors did. LSD feels too modern for me, don't get me wrong, I love lucy but mushrooms seem to perfectly fit my personality and interests. Plus they're easy to grow and can even be found in the wild (though thats really dangerous unless you're a mycologist). A lot of the "acid" I've been getting now a days is tainted (DOx anyone?) and I just don't have the time these days to invest in those long trips. Mushrooms have the perfect duration and if I need to I can even fall asleep on them, something that would never happen on acid. They both have different places in my heart but mushrooms are my true psychedelic love. I'm sure if everyone took 3.5g in a perfect set and setting for their first time they'd probably agree.

Psilocin is 4-ho-dmt. Why are you including 4-aco-dmt in the poll?

Anyway, haven't tried psilocin yet so I'll abstain from voting to reduce BIAS.
