whats better to trip on alone. Mushrooms or LSD?

[StCosmo]

Shrooms, just because they don't last as long if it goes south; especially if you can be outside.
The first time I did mushrooms I was sitting by myself for a while watching the sunset and listening to explosions in the sky...
Maybe one of the closest things to a religious experiences in my life.

I enjoy mushrooms alone, for introspective trips but at rather high dosages...

One night after having consumed around 12 or 13 grams (I had 14 and gave two or three to my father) I had a great introspective experience that ultimately ended in ego death laying on my kitchen floor at 3am.

As was stated before, it can be difficult and you can get into negative thought loops, but I find that usually happens as the trip drags on. I had wonderful thoughtflow and floods of forgotten memories which were like lost gems,for nearly six hours. Eventually though, as I lay in the dark, on the edge of sleep, completely exhausted but obviously still unable, all outward stimulus seemed to fade away and I could see the workings of my psyche..Almost like clockwork. It's hard to grasp now. But this was when my ego had dissolved, and I hadn't noticed it. It was bliss, but with the primal psychotic mushroom twist if you know what I mean.

I'm in need of another one of those experiences. The important thing though is to always have someone you can talk to who can ground you if you need it. The worst thing on a mushroom trip is when you think you're going insane and you need to talk to someone other than yourself of the voices in your head.

i would pick lsd. but i love tripping alone, ive started to enjoy it more than tripping with a group or others at all...idk if thats good or bad but i feel like i have much more control and no social pressures or distractions...just me and my mind, exactly what i look for in my trips

I didn't like shrooms alone, I felt super fucking loney.

Acid though, is actually something I like to do alone. Just sitting listening to music, letting the trip take you over, is one of the most comfortable things I have ever done in my experience.

For me LSD is much more insightfull while alone.
Shrooms, id much rather take with friends.
Acid blows my mind like no other.
IMO tripping alone is more intense for some people because there are minimal distractions.
As if where you were with someone, you would most likely be doing an activity.(like laughing at nothing)

For solo-tripping alone in a dark room, mushrooms are great. To me, they have a sedative edge, while LSD is more stimulating.

I agree with this completely. Mushrooms make me tired and lazy, so I want to lie down and take in the beautiful visuals. THey are more emotional than Acid to me, as I always go through an intense introspective phase on shrooms that's not so intense on tabs. Acid feels more stimulating and makes me not want to sit still. But, everyone is different. Have fun.

For me LSD just bores the shit out of me... So id have to go with shrooms. I cant tell you how many times I've done them alone and had great experiences. High doses, low doses... To combat the body load, i always take some ginger tea or caps.. that always does wonders for me. Highest I've ever taken alone was 10.5gs of Cubensis... I blacked out... Don't recommend you go that high. A nice 7-8g move or a 4-5g dose can be a lot of fun when your on your lonesome as people will not distract the full ego loss and the crazy intense visuals -- However, if you've never ventured into those high doses with out some one around then steer clear of them alone, that is just a recipe for disaster. One of my pet peeves while on these substances is when people want to go out and do something stupid in public and as such I take most of mine alone or at least parts of them alone. I find alone is the best time for exploration on any substance like this but due to the above my vote is for mushies.

 

[Shlumpeet]

LSD for sure

 

[chemical ali]

i've tripped on mushrooms alone and lsd alone both are fun in their own right. but i've also had a bad trip alone and nothing could be less fun. if you're the least bit sad dont do lsd by yourself

 

[Psychonaut16]

Personally, I think the likes of DMT and DPT etc. are better for solo tripping, mainly because the precene of people during those experiences can be jarring in itself...

DMT is basically like an extreme shroom trip in a short period of 5 minutes. (i think both DMT and Psilocybn release triptamine, so the effects are quite similar)

 

[wudupmoney]

LSD... mushrooms definetly have more visuals but lsd will always be my drug of choice.. i don't mess with anything other then lsd, e, and shrooms.. i just saw a kid loose his mind on mushrooms so that kinda scared me

 

[DwayneHoover]

For me, acid is exponentially more chill (even very high dose acid after the peak is extremely chill). If I have acid + music, there's not a lot else I need.

Mushrooms feel too bizarre to do alone, at least for me.

IMO the bizarre-ness of shrooms makes them WORSE for doing when other people are around... all too easy to latch onto others emotionally and hope they will "save" you from the panic, or worse, you start thinking they are all in a conspiracy against you.

I think that given the intense introspective thing that shrooms cause they are BETTER when done alone... then you cant blame anything on anyone else when you get delirious or anxious, and you know ITS JUST YOU AND THE PSYCHEDELIC REALM, and this can motivate you to be strong and at least try to focus and center and find yourself and your inner strength within the maelstrom. When others are there I find I latch onto them which is not really such a good thing to do.

The answer to this is a combination of the opinions in the Solo Trip thread (since some people handle themselves better alone while others do worse!) plus the Acid vs. Mushrooms thread. The latter of which I believe revolves around personalities: LSD is more rational while mushrooms rely more on emotions / intuition.
