Acid Vs. Shrooms

[baby-phat]

Both are grossness... but if ya feel the need to do one go for the shroomies. Acid is just so chock full of chemically nastyness, where-as at least mush grows in nature. *shrug*
I've done both, acid only once and NEVER again and I used to love the mushroomies but that phase passed in a big way.

Actually, it is.

MDMA is a stimulant with hallucinogenic effects. It can be categorized as both.

Hmm, I did not know that. I know I've experienced a lot of visuals on MDA, but not anything significant on MDMA. Well, Chemicals effect us all differently.

Edit: Thanks for the headsup!

As for my preference, I like LSD. It feels a lot better inside my body than Mushrooms do. Mushrooms make me sick and it takes away from the trip.

I've never once had a bad trip on LSD either.

You may just need a better source for your Acid (and probly all your drugs if this is the case).
A good dose shouldnt be chock full of any nastiness, unless its dirty shit from a grimey dealer. That kind of 'acid' is really gross, ive done one or 2 dirty hits in my day, wasnt particularly fun. I hear yer pain. But i wouldnt be so quick to write off LSD, especially if youve enjoyed shit like ecstacy and shrooms in the past... A clean hit ( i prefer quads) can offer a really wonderful experience if you approach it with a positive outlook, have good friends around, and an interesting or at least safe environment to trip out on.

It's hard to contaminate acid tabs, most possible adulterants absorbed in LSD dose quantities (~100 micrograms) have very little to no psychoactive effect, so 'dirty' acid is probably more a product of your mind state than any contaminants. A sugar cube I can see being a different story though.

That being said, mushrooms disgust me, and they're too wishy-washy, the body load/effect ratio is really high for me, and the mental effects are way too murky at even the higher doses I've taken (~1/3 oz. p.cubensis).

LSD, in the proper quantity, is a righteous dose of terror and awe, which will make one sit up and realize what existing is actually like, even as one's ego and perceptions are shattered into myriad fragments. I think people who argue that drugs are just an escape should take a couple quads of LSD, and then they'd realize how terrifyingly real life can be, as well as beautiful.

If you just sit around in your house tripping and watching movies you're missing a lot. Get outside! It's an opportunity to connect with your environment that isn't buffered by electronics and social codes.

I useto lovvvve mushies! Unfortunatly the last two trips iv had have not been plesant (what are the odds of two bad trips in a row). Anyways they were spaced quite some time appart(a year) and i havent touched mushies in like 8 months, so I think its time to give er another try, gunna try a hippyflip on monday... does anyone know of a good ratio for hippy flips? I know its all dependant on your own body, blah blah... i usually like to trip on about 3 grams of mush... does anyone know what would be a good combo? like 3/4 tab of e and 2 grams of mush or???

and all this talk of lsd is making me want to try it... but i think im going to have to resist that urge. So many ppl talk about lsd being terrifying.. i dno if id even want to play with that, it doesnt sound fun. Im not one to be like "omg the workd is ending" and start cartweeling, but if theres a good chance that the drugs gunna pull me into a 6 hour jail of unplesant thoughts, i dno. :S

Well, like I said I only ever did it one time. And at first it was fun, but then my friend disappeared and it got to be too much. Blech. My comedown was weird and what happened after was one of the worst things that has ever happened to me. :( I'm not gonna ellaborate but let's just say having a bad experience so close afterwards has kept me away from it for 7 years and I don't plan on ever trying it again.

[Play-it-hard]

After doing mushrooms I feel so dumb for the next week, Ive had a couple bad trips on mushrooms,But mostly have had a good time on them.The trippiest thing to do is go picking and eat them right away and then when you start get high youll see a fog over the whole feild and all these people are gatherd there in this huge feild bent down on their hands and knees picking, Hahah bowmans feild, TRIPPY. Im pretty much done with them I know what its like, I jus liked to trip out on nature like walkin down the street and reilizing that trees are actually LIVING !! haha

Perhaps you don't think hard enough, dude.

If you just jump into it without paying attention to what's going on to your body, what you're putting into it, etc. etc. etc., then you're setting yourself up for a crash, kiddo.

This is a very informative and helpful thread/poll.
i have dosed mushrooms almost recordably 46 times. (give or take)
and i have yet to do acid.
This year, i have been mentaly preping for my 21st birthday and i have descided that i am going to drop for the first time.
Any advice? Or any systematic recomendations of sober person with me, or day/night or what to eat and not.
I have never been with anyone on acid, and i have never really had the important facts told to me.
The only advice i have been given is to take a cap of E and after about 45min, take a quad of acid.
That way it makes it imposible for a bad trip?
is this fact or fiction?

pls help.

[ebbomega]

Only you can prevent a bad trip.

No, seriously. I've had bad trips on E even. It doesn't take much - just putting your mind in the wrong mindstate. No way to work around it.

Have someone around who's done acid, knows what it does to people - even if they're dosing with you, they're a good person to have around (babysitter). They'll keep you comforted and as long as they know a bit about the drug, they probably won't freak out if the trip goes awry.

Remember everybody's trips are different.

Frankly, I think at age 21 you'll probably be perfectly fine, especially if you are experienced with other chemicals.

Also, be wary. A lot of psychological problems that were dormant in your head may come to fruition while tripping.

Try to keep a level head about it. Whenever stuff starts going weird or you think something's wrong, just tell yourself: it's just the drugs.

And if you think you can fly, do your friends and family a favour and start from the ground - jumping off buildings just ruins to good time for everybody else.

Just about every person I know of that's had a Bad (bad as in dangerous) experience with acid did it when they were like 15.

[Felix]

Just remeber that it's all in yer head. The experienced babysitter/trip buddy is a really good idea. And make sure you are somewhere that you can come and go freely, that'll make the night alot more enjoyable when yer tweeking and can't remember which way is up. Other then that just have fun and enjoy the trip!
hahah and yah, make sure you start yer flying lessons on the ground that's for sure.


Personally I prefered mushrooms because they're natural and I've had soo many more fun trips on them then acid. I found acid was more intense and alot more *tweek*tweek*flail, where as mushrooms was always laidback,lazy,giggles.

As far as the whole yecky blah feeling from mush, I used to get it worse on Cid which is wierd. I did get a bit of the gut rot and some funky skin on mush but that would go away after the first half hour and maybe come back around the very end of the night. With Cid I would get this totally constricted chest and the back of my head would feel like it was gonna swell up and burst, then my hands would get MAJOR clam to them and everything I touched felt wrong, and that would last about half the night at least.

Although now that I think of it, I only got the constricted chest/clam hands off this stuff from the one dealer (who was pretty much our only supply in my betteryhead days) the few times that I dropped stuff from other suppliers I never got the same reaction and ussually the trip was alot more chill in my head. Who knows if his supply was more "dirty" then the others or what, but I know it wasn't in my head, my buddies would all say the same things.

Does anyone know if there are different types of acid? like LSD40 or LSD60? cuz I remeber some buds saying that they had LCDsuch&such the one time that was in a bottle and when I took a hit of that it was the cleanest chillest most laid back trip with the best visuals I'd ever had on LSD

acid.. was quite funny, during my acid trip, everyone was flying in the air, and it felt like i was in the water

my favorite thing in the world is pot, but if i'm on mushrooms they dont affect me at all. doesnt matter how much of it i smoke. there was this one night we smoked almost a half an ounce before i called it quits. does this happen to anyone else?

[Revolver]

"hoolllllllle leeeee shiiiiiiiiit-ala Jason Lee.!

MUSHROOMS! a hundred gazillion bajiilllliooon times over acid!. eventhough the lysergic dose activate some very interesting naturally occuring chemicals in our head.

still. since the mushroom is directly from the earth those little fuckers have quite the bit of power in them. psilo's and cacties most definatly have some of the most amazing energiies humans can encounter....

its all about the entheogens.

^great advice for anyone new to the shit.

Acid can bring up all the psychological dirt and grime, and it happened easily and frequently in most of my trips. The key to enjoying acid trips is to not dwell on the negative things that are occuring, but to try and find the positive in everything. and usually once you have your head set on that kinda playing field, magically you start finding meaning and joy in everything that you notice.
Theres the potential to reach some very very dark places in your mind...
but by the same token, if your battling the journey with a good head on straight( the right way), theres a great chance youll experience at least one hundred magical epiphanys before the stuff wears off 8-12 hours later....

HAVE FUN !!!

TOOOOOOTALLY!!!

Same with any kind of hallucinogen!

It's all about conciously changing what you are thinking about to only good things.... YOU are the captain of the ship!

Once I realized that a few years back I've only had good trips.

"I am calm, and I am satisfied with who I am. I'm with friends that I really care about and who care about me. I have no worries in the world for this afternoon, and I'm going to have fun!"

That's pretty much my hallucinogen mantra. It WORKS.

[Mangle]

I made a conscious decision to stick to natural drugs about 2 years ago. I still do E or acid for special occasions but the rest of the time, I'm a pot and shrooms kinda guy.
