why not try something fun?
Obviously my idea of "fun" is very different from yours.
Which I suppose is a good thing.
A world full of Ptah clones is probably a lot worse than a theme park hehehe.

I'm glad there's only one of me, because if I ever met myself on the street, I'd probably punch my other self in the face.

And that theme park trip was on two hits... I might consider appearing in public on 3, but probably not on any more than that...
 
^ I've been shopping on three hits . What's a hit tho ?...How high is ones tolerance...It's all relative.

I wouldn't go to the theme park personally like.

i went & watched the wall of death on acid once that was good.
 
I can't remember if i've replied already, but definately LSD. The headspace is much nicer, music sounds better, and the visuals are superior. LSD leaves me with a pleasant "afterglow" the next day, wheras mushrooms leave me feeling empty and depressed.

I noticed the same thing myself, now that you mention it... Yet another reason acid's my fave.

you know the score Evil One. mushrooms give me darkside comedowns for some reason. Acid comedown is more like "yey i didnt go insane! life is good!"

Having little experience (once LSD, twice shrooms of which one in combination with that LSD) I'd prefer LSD. It's more feel-good and "cosy". Shrooms have a more profound mental aspect and I have the feeling it's easier to go bad on shrooms than on lsd. Also because the visuals on LSD are much more friendly (bright colours, sparkles...) than on shrooms (organic, alien).
But it's quite possible that my opinion changes with other trips.

I was trying to express my feelings about them the differences, and you really hit the nail on the head.

Though one thing I dislike about acid compared to shrooms was it doesn't seem to give me the same mental trip. Shrooms seem to me to be so much deeper and complex on that level.
 
In terms of bang for your buck there is absolutely no question that LSD delivers on that front. However, psilocin is a very very interesting chemical, has a somewhat deeper dimension than LSD. I'll vote for the great mushroom, just because it fascinates me so much.
 
I think it's difficult to really compare the chemicals in an objective manner. I mean, some say LSD gives you visuals of bright lights and nice colors and shrooms will give you weird alien things or organic, earthly visions. But I experienced very similar Mayan/Aztec-looking mosaic patterns while under the influence of both chemicals. I saw a lot of complicated patterns (yet also much colorful playful dot-things) while on LSD, as well. It depends... one thing I would suggest is that psilocybin mushrooms do seem to have this other dimension to the experience that renders it weightier and sometimes more emotionally or mentally challenging, hence, I understand when people say it's "easier" to have a bad trip on mushrooms than on LSD.
 
I always love mushrooms when they are in full force but the come-up is really rough for me. I've only ever had real acid once, and I do not remember much of bad come-up feelings. Just laying on the grass and all of a sudden the stars seemed to be within my reach. Also whenever I am on mushrooms I cannot wait to do them again, but when I come down it usually takes me months to "work up the nerve" so to speak to do them again!
 
Just wondering you guys what is your typical dosage of mushrooms? I've only had one experience with 3.5g (1/8th) and it was very good, strong. To those of you who prefer tripping in darkness and alone like McKenna advocated, do you ever take 3.5g or is it always the "5 dried grams" lol?
 
I've taken a good number of psychedelics now and i'm still of the opinion that LSD is the premier psychedelic. It just feels so good and HEALTHY.
I still haven't had a good hit of DMT yet though, which as far as I can see is the only one capable of knocking it off it's perch :) .
(5-MeO-DMT was really amazing too but it's too brutal to be considered premier IMO)
 
I have always prefered LSD. The euphoria, when you are lucky enough to experience it, beats any drug and is comparable with DMT.
mushrooms, although deep and powerful, have always given me anxiety. sometimes so much that it takes away from some of the usefull aspects of the trip.
these days i only like mushrooms in lower doses (around 2 grams). 4 aco dmt on the other hand is a great chemical. IMO it is almost like the perfect "in between" of mushrooms and LSD. i still prefer LSd though.

mattpsy, i dont think DMt will knock lsd off its top spot. Perhaps it will just join it at the throne. These two are perfect psychedelics in my book
