Why does LSD tend to make me have negative thoughts more so than psilocybin?

Compared to shrooms, lsd makes me have unpleasant or negative thoughts more often. Don't get me wrong, i like acid but that's just something I've noticed. Has anyone else noticed this?
 
you mean during the actual experience or in the aftermath?

now according to freud having fun is bad so go for acid
 
acid tends to bring up problems from deep inside you and bad trips or constant feelings of being uncomfortable especially point to that. maybe something about your life is bugging you that you dont realize. or maybe its because it just doesnt work welll with your body/mind as a drug. everyones different
 
LSD does bring forth all that is bottled up in you.Its one of the best psychotherapists out there.LSD also has the ability to show you that those thoughts really arent 'yours' either.
 
Maybe that's just how you react to LSD?

I have friends that react this way to LSD and that's why they only take mushrooms or cacti.

I have other friends that get have dark trips while on shrooms that are full of negativity and that's why they only take acid.
 
i'd say both of the reasons given above have some legitimacy. For the longest time I loved shrooms and did them often, and acid as well. Eventually shrooms started to give me really bad social anxiety and some other negative effects. I laid off them for several years, but continued tripping on other things. Now shrooms don't bother me anymore, but i still take relatively small doses when using shrooms. Most of my friends are the opposite though, much like you, shrooms give them a "happier" trip than lsd. Different strokes for different folks i guess.
 
I have only experienced the opposite. I have had very profound thoughts on LSD, even bordering the realm of delirium, but it was still happy.

Mushrooms have brought me to profoundly dark places in my life but I still like mushrooms more nonetheless. I won't enumerate why unless anyone cares for me to divulge.

LSD has more "user input/user control" than mushrooms I have noticed, when you eat enough mushrooms, you just kind of sit back and enjoy the ride.
 
actually captain, if you don't mind, I am curious as to why you prefer mushrooms.

i am quite intrigued. i have never really heard anyone describe what a profoundly bad trip is really like and have never had one myself
 
tried acid several times and only tried shrooms twice. both of the shroom trips had a negative feel to it. the first time wasn't as bad, but the second time was a 'bad trip'. I enjoy acid a lot more.

Captain, I'd like to know as well

Profoundly bad trip..

I find them to be far more common on Mushrooms (4-HO-DMT) then LSD, due to the former acting more on your emotions then rational thought. This is just my own experience, the more your emotions direct your trip the easier it is to send you into a dark spiral.

I've been to some extremely 'dark' places on Mushrooms, something which even the highest dose's of LSD couldn't possible recreate. Emotion runs much deeper then thought, there's a monumental difference between 'thinking your a useless meaningless form of existence and genuinely feeling you are'.

Though that said, even the darkest of landscapes has a bright horizon.

A very large dose of N'N'-DMT took me to a place of pure void,nothingness,infinite darkness.. self-realization of the godhead, but with an undeniable feeling of universal solitude, the ultimate paradox of nothing and everything woven into each other. The experience itself shattered me for months.. and even 10 months later im still in the process of re-integration, but extremely happy for all of it.
