Pretty new here to the BL... I have been sifting my way through this beast of a thread, haven't covered it all yet but great info and opinions so far... I haven't voted yet because i haven't tried LSD yet, i have been on the hunt lately to obtain some but with no luck. bck when it was around i wanted my shrooming time undr my belt before taking off on the journey of acid...Now with that accomplished i'm ready to endulge..

A few things i have come across while reading i have liked, te main one is that alot of users feel that on LSD your thought process is much more clear and on an analitical level which i like...mainly because that is my only gripw about shrooms is the sometimes extreme confusion i encounter.. if left in this state for long when tripping it can start to take a toll and temporarily send the trip south....until i rgain control.. For instance at a buddies house one night watching tv, shrooming the movie ended and we wanted to watch some regular televison but the tv was stuck on a black "video 1" screen. The setup was oone of those wonderful 5 remote jobs and everyone quickly became confused which turned to anger and or anxiety for some... anyways ituations like this on shrooms and ones i'd like to avoid because for some reason when i become very confused anxiety is soon to follow..

Aside from that i ran over a few posts regarding dosage for shrooms... My input on that is it can rely STRONGLY on the strain. my most recent trip I ingested sone Azurescens which are the most potent strand known...They're part of the woodchip species. a single gram of these (dried) is equivelant to 3.5g(dried) of the common Cubensis... the beautiful thing abut the azuers is that there is no nauseating "come up" they just slowly creep on you : ) ... No really bad hangover type feeling the next day either..

Im sure alot of you are aware of Shroomry.org its a site obviously dedicated to shrooms, some great info on there but my favorite thing on it is the DOSAGE CALCULATOR google it up and you@l find it. An AMAZING tool if you know the strain you have a hold of.. you just pick what type of trip you'd like to have Levels 1+5 (check out the site it'll make more sense when you read there chart)... Then choose whether its dry or wet... and Bam it tells you the weight you need t consume to obtain that trip...

Another thing its useful for is if you want a similar trip as to a previous one you had but you have different strains it can compare to potentcy f the two and give you the converted info...

BUT withthe exeption to the confusion and anxiety i absolutely love shrooms, the colors...the vividness of objects, i can stand at the base of a huge naked tree in the fall and be in aww for what seems like hours lol... and just the fact that when its over you feel like a you just literally just stepped off the plane ship and it was one hell of a voyage..

Anyways i apologize for the mindless rambling ha! and also for the horrible format this was written in..(on my cell)
 
The question is, which one is more spiritualer...?

Personally, I've always found mushrooms gigglier, and acid more profoundly weird.

After pondering the question for a couple reflective minutes, I have to opt for "no preference".

Up until recently, and although I have a certain particular fondness for both compounds, I would have said L.S.D.


Although, I had the recent opportunity of eating B+ Cubensis, hand picked at precisely the right moment before the partial veil had a chance to break.

I ate approx 1.5 grams, much less than the previous 5 grams as well as 545 mg pure Dextromethorphan experiences I had been sharing from previous flushes (not grown on dung). The exeperience turned out to be as delightful as the 2 hoffman blotter (roughly 300ug) experience 2 months prior.

Their were of course, differences, but the experiences were equally integral.


With the mixed tryptamine alkaloids of the last fungal speciman, It was very much like a drawn out NN, DMT experience, better than any experience I'd had prior with the organism (this is out of hundreds of trips since the age of 15).

The acid I had done only for a second time, but was equally beautiful yet obviously different, in the rythems of the visuals, the capacity, it was much more sporadic and yet lighter on the body.

The psilocybin however, as I've seen on most tryptamines I take, their was an overwhelming quality in the visuals manifesting itself (as always, but not for many years since I hadn't had a quality mushroom experience of this magnitude for quite some time), containing the faces of what appeared to me as aztec warriors.

Before the last mushroom experience, I would have said hands down LSD, even though I've only done it a handful of times and only the last 1 noteworthy because of the dose. But after eating the hand picked cubensis grown on dung/straw and matured at the right stage, I find them equally valuable, I'd take either or on any night (and I'm a picky person).

Please note I had 10mg of valium with each, which hadn't effected the potency of either, nor has it ever with psychs (guess I'm fortunate in that dept.)

:)
 
I think I might pick LSD as my favourite substance out of the two but they're close. Shrooms are completely different in the way you trip and the visuals, You also have less easier control compares to LSD. But LSD has that positive push much more than shrooms. Yet i've been through more marvelous enjoyable crazy rides and adventures with shrooms than with LSD.

Both is awesome. %)
 
Mushrooms are nice cause you know what you're getting.

Now with all the DOx going around, LSD is not as safe as it used to be. No telling what's on the blotter.


I like both psychedelics, but I definetly believe LSD is more of a tool than mushrooms. As the user can alter the experience more so than a mushroom one. On mushrooms the experience is more random and out of control.

Sometimes I feel mushroom experiences make life and everything seem like a joke for no reason. While on good LSD I see the reason and understand the chaos and why.

LSD is more happy-go-lucky. Mushrooms is creepy at higher doses, more like salvia in that it's not that recreational and the experience is relentless and doesn't give in. And those who have taken high doses of strong shrooms know what I mean, way too weird to enjoy = )
 
I love both drugs, LSD is more of a fun thing and kind of speedy, it makes me think about how stupid other things are like laws, religion, government, and just people in general. LSD can be taken more light-heartedly, IMO, even though dont get me wrong, I've had dozens of balls to the wall acid trips. Its fun to just get a little weird and mellow out. And really with mushrooms it feels like someone hits you in the head with an axe (it doesnt hurt :P), takes it out and the whole just releases and takes in everything at once, which I feel is the true sensation of tripping. I really dont get this with LSD.

Mushrooms are more of an intense and spiritual thing, it makes me feel like I am a shaman, my muscles really just shut down when I am on mushrooms, I fall down everytime I get up, which causes me to laugh a lot, I can barely communicate verbally because even though I am 21 my voice will not stop cracking when I am on shrooms, and it makes me think about how stupid I am and all my problems. It also makes me question my relationship with people. I think about my parents and my best friends and they just seem like really distant memories, as if they never existed at all.

That being said, I like mushrooms more even though they tend to show you the more dark side of things, but DMT kicks both of their asses.


I still love both of them though. LSD has always been amazing, and I find its a lot better to use LSD at a concert or amusement park then shrooms, which can be just out right scary in a social setting.

that's true. some people dont like acid cuz it's "not natural". disregarding the idiocy of that statement (considering our piss is toxic enough to kill grass permanently), it might be true that it's one downside is it kind of "rapes" into your brain and lodges itself there somehow.
 
for me it depends on the dose when i shroom i like smaller doses at first and then eat a few caps throughout the tripp to keep me going, shrooms make me tired, but with lsd i eat a pink floyd dose from the start and go into a complete differnt world, happy,insane,changed is usally how my lsd trips are. i usally eat to much just because i don't want to eat to little.

so lsd for me please PeAcE
 
I voted mushrooms just because when I've done them they were much more intense and inherently more profound. I think a lot has to do with individual body chemistry, some people think mushrooms are more intense than acid and vice versa, it just depends. LSD was like a walk in the park for me after my 4g gold cap cubensis experience (which was completely out of control and slightly frightening just due to the sheer power). I just wish acid didn't last so long. If there was a drug that had the duration of mushrooms and the clean, no-nausea feel of LSD then I'd be all over it.

Voted no preference. In actuality, I find 4-AcO-DMT (in my two experiences with the chemical) to be much preferred over mushrooms themselves, while my opinion on LSD (about a dozen experiences) is mixed. I absolutely love LSD's visuals and clarity, while its duration and side effects--icky jaw tension, post-trip insomnia--aggravate me. The complications involved with achieving the correct dose are also somewhat frustrating, not to mention its typical cost when forced to purchase it myself. That said, LSD is probably my favorite commonly available psychedelic. I will be coming into possession of some more psilacetin quite soon and eagerly anticipate getting to know it better.
 
LSD - I find it has more depth to it than psilocin & psilocybin, and it lasts longer so you get more for your £ :)
 
I had to vote for my first love, psilocybin <3
I however love both and each one has its positives and negatives.. I love mushrooms because of how intense they can be and the duration is shorter (which can be good and bad).
 
I voted no preference. I have had many more strong mushroom trips than LSD, probably around 5 even remotely strong LSD experiences. I'm a big fan of long, intense psychedelic trips, so on that level I would say LSD. I also like the explosiveness of LSD, and how everything takes on a sparkly rainbow dripping quality! Mushrooms, although they can be an intense and overwhelming experience, are very easy-going, childish and playful feeling. But I have also seen this quality in LSD. LSD is more multi-faceted, I think. It's more variable. I like them both!
