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

DMT deffinately knocked LSD down a peg or too. I used to rank and rave about LSD but after a few hundred LSD trips it just doent do it anymore. Plus it lasts WAY to long. I still eat L, but not for the same reasons as I used to. and when its realy good L at the right dose Im always left wita feeling of "why did I do this again, I already know these effects... urgh, better strap in for a few hours of this"

LSD would be utterly awesome if it only lasted 3-4 hours, then it would be FANTASTIC to mix with mdma with deemster blasts through out the entire experience.


and mushrooms still give me anxiaty too. becoming hyper aware of space/time while your ego is being striped down to your very being just isnt fun anymore. though mushrooms can be world of fun taken ~6hours into an LSD trip, it can get REALY visual!
 
You can't compare DMT to LSD. Thats like comparing a low strength beer with high proof alcohol or something.

DMT shoots you out of a cannon, you're whole reality is replaced with a dream world. You are no longer "you", yet you are one with existence, one with everything. DMT takes you to places that we have been conditioned into thinking that they or false and don't exist. LSD may be able to completely warp reality, and can still let you achieve ego loss/death, however you cannot transcend realities, or interact with actual intelligent lifeforms as you can do in DMT space.

As you can see, my DMT experience was extremely profound, whereas my LSD trips haven't come close. They have certainly been valuable, but being shown things that are surely impossble/fictional, right in front of your eyes, now that is something that only DMT can provide.
 
LSD is cheaper and more comfortable IMO.. mushrooms make me feel uncomfortable at points.. but is always still enjoyable. LSD is a very rare thing around where I live but mush are always around.
 
Both have benefited my life, mentality and existence tremendously. But I have to give it to LSD. The afterglow is simply amazing. The feeling I get the day after taking LSD is the greatest feeling possible on earth (for me, at least). Psilocin offers a very peaceful, naturalistic feeling, but LSD has truly shown me that life is worth living.
 
I can't really give a decent opinion since I've only tripped one time on each substance, but acid was far more intense and mind-shattering. I saw God on my shroom trip, but acid made me analyze the world in a way I had not thought possible.
 
I'd have to go with LSD. Mushrooms are pretty predictable as far as visuals (they just make patterns flow and peoples faces melt). I think they have a pretty brutal comedown, though. I always get anxious/dysphoric the last hour or two of a mushroom trip.

LSD is far more complex. The headspace feels more philosophical and analytical, coherent and collected. The visuals are different every time, which makes it more fun to me. The synaesthesia aspect is pretty fun, too (which I don't get on mushrooms). I love how on a good dose of LSD, sounds distort and make colors/patterns change depending on what it is. I'll always remember the time I sat on the beach, frying my brains out on acid, staring up at the full moon whilst listening to The Mars Volta. The clouds rippled like an oscilloscope to the music :). Also, can't beat the same price of a large meal at a fast food place for a day long trip. Mushrooms would cost me double, if not triple for an equally intense trip that lasts half as long and isn't as fun.

Mushrooms just have a dirty feeling trip, too.
 
Shrooms are more fun and euphoric for me, and honestly, acid feels dirty and makes me feel sick. But my vote still goes to acid. Because, fun as shrooms are, they're mostly just beautiful and overwhelming, they don't feel as complex as acid to me. Acid has a clearer headspace, so it's easier to follow my own thoughts and figure myself out. Much more in the way of complex emotions like nostalgia and bittersweetness, less childish wonder, which isn't superior per se, but is more to my taste.

And also, candyflipping is pretty much my favorite feeling in the world (synergy of love and insanity), and that wouldn't be possible without acid.
 
Shrooms make me feel empty, the visuals are different from acid. Not neccesarily not as intense, just different.

LSD visuals are definetly easier to "define" and see. On acid the peak is nothing but a constant rush of crazy visuals.

On shrooms one minute u feel normal, the next u are whacky ect. loop loop.

To me

Shrooms is just a trip.

LSD is an experience.


Shrooms feels like a joke to me, makes me feel like my life is a joke.

LSD makes me feel like my life is meaningful.

Subjective....
 
When I really want to confront my innermost, it has to be shrooms - more confusion, more fear, more to overcome, but greater reward. Acid always brings me great ideas and unparalleled intellectual stimulation, but I don't see this as necessary - it can even be counterproductive.

I can drop acid on a whim and have a great time, even socially. With mushrooms, I need to prepare myself thoroughly and have now limited my shroom trips to solo journeys for spiritual purposes. Acid is fun though!
 
While I enjoy both compounds immensely I would have to go with LSD. The clarity and strength of LSD just isn't comparable to mushrooms in my opinion. I have always stuck with 3.5 grams of dried mushrooms or more and have always loved every experience with them but two strong hits of LSD will send me into another world that I know and love dearly...

But for the record if either one is available I'll take it! :)
 
Just reading through this thread shows how subjective a lot of this all is.
e.g. "shrooms are clean" "shrooms are dirty" "lsd is clean" "lsd is dirty" etc.
 
I've had several mushroom trips, I had my first LSD trip yesterday, so it is hard to say which is best at this time. Some of my mushroom trips were better than my acid trip. They both have a lot to offer. On mushrooms, I have had some really interesting dream-like visions of what seemed like my future life and some past lives. None of my mushroom trips have really had much of a spiritual or mystical content but some were more intense than the acid trip.

LSD seems more euphoric and positive than mushrooms or most other strong psychedelics. I had a high degree of ego-loss on both, to the point where I wasn't sure who or what I was. On my acid trip, I was sometimes unsure of where I was. I saw the pulsating heartbeat of the universe for a little while on LSD. The acid trip was with 4 hits of some pretty potent blotter. I'll try six next time, in 4-6 weeks. Probably closer to six weeks, since I have some 4-ho-met I'm wanting to try out soon.

I'll hold off on voting until I've had another acid trip. I can say though that LSD is right up there with the best of them.

Mushrooms are more cost effective. A single acid trip can cost 30-50$ at the price I paid. It was worth it though. I can grow a dose of mushrooms for $5-$10.
 
lsd! for the win! for sure, i can never get rid of the grin on my face. The visuals and feelings are more easy to define for me. Mushrooms are more like "what the FUCK is going on in my brain right now!" I love acid because of the stimulation also...but I also love speed...so that might have something to do with it.
 
LSD, no question.
Mushrooms, to me, are... for lack of a better word, difficult.
It's easier for me to have a good time on acid.
 
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.
 
Im in Australia man. P. Subaeruginosa is one of the most potent mushrooms in the world. Cubensis, which is what most people in the US get, are weak in comparison. Don't get me wrong, shrooms can be very very enjoyable, 99% of my trips have been fantastic. But you take a large dose of mushrooms, and a large dose of acid, and tell me what was easier to handle. Ill put money on acid being the easier one.

My largest dose was 8 dry grams of subs, and it was by no means "a bad trip", but it did something that no amount of acid could ever do, imo.
 
First off, tabs aren't double dipped. Any knowledgeable person here will tell you that. Sheets are laid in a solution that has a certain concentration of LSD in it. When the sheet is wet, the residue is dried, and the tab is SATURATED meaning it can contain no more liquid. Its like a wet sponge, you can't clean up a spill unless you wring the sponge, same principle.

And as for shrooms, you need to try a higher dose :). I eat 10 if im just chilling at a mates house and want a giggle. From memory, i think we ate 50 each on the 8 dry gram trip. Intense!
 
Im only 20 man, i started picking at 16, get into it!

Haha nah, enjoy them while you can. You sound like you're cautious, so have fun with them.
