People who do shrooms but not acid

Ive never understood the reasoning behind taking shrooms, but bashing acid. I know so many people who are either like %22acid fucks with your brain and can give you flashbacks and psychosis%22 or %22I want to try shrooms before acid%22. Shrooms are fucking scary! I recently had a conversation with another acid head who completely agreed. He told me about one time when he took shrooms in high school he just sat in his chair spinning around calculating his GPA and freaking out about failing school.
Now, Ive never had a bad trip on shrooms before, but they are intense and a total mindfuck. LSD is just so clear headed and beautiful.
What do you all think about this fear of LSD compared to Shrooms?

I'm kinda the opposite. Shrooms chill me out and I seem to enjoy them so much more. Acid makes me think really fast and it's hard to talk/focus on one thing.

i think people are afraid that lsd is a chemical.
i know people that say that same stuff but have tried cigarettes with are way more harmful that like 50 hits of acid lol.

For me, I would rather trip for 4 hours than 10 hours. Also, I have found that shroom trips can vary greatly. Last time I dosed, I had full mental clarity and not many visuals. It was oddly sobering and cleansing. My previous trips entailed heavy visuals and a cluttered mind. One time I felt like I was going crazy (of course those bad times were with field picked ones...homegrown is 1000 times better!).

im also somewhat of a hippie and i believe in the spiritual guides behind the living organism, which helps you and teaches you, and im uncertain of the spirits of synthetics
if i was offered acid by a friend i would gladly accept, with ectasy i would be apprehensive unless the person could assure me that it was mdma/mda with minimal adulterants, otherwise i prefer to stick to that which i can grow myself, or comes as unaltered plant/fungus material

^I think there's a difference between bashing LSD because it is synthetic and preferring to get an absolutely known product. I can respect wanting to know exactly what you're getting. I was referring more to the people who consider LSD as inherently evil/toxic/worthless/whatever because it is synthesized by man instead of plant.

I have to say I used to be one of those people, but for good reason. My brother developed PSTD from acid when he was young, so I felt justified in sticking to shrooms.
Of course now I have more experience and know that it doesn't really make a difference and they both have the same risks.
But lately I've been eating a ton of cid and have to agree that I would rather give a first-timer acid than shrooms, because it is way more chill, not as emotional or confusing or intense as shrooms.
But yeah, when I tell people that they're all like "no man acid is like a HARDER drug than shrooms..."

yeah, this was a big thing with me too.
These days there is a lot of RC's going around on blotter. And I know at least one person personally who has had their trip ruined because they were just plain old paranoid about whether or not what they took was really LSD.
Same thing with beans. In highschool I refused to eat beans with my friends, partly because they were "synthetic", but mainly because I had no idea what was in them. And that was even before I knew about all the different RC's that are out there.
With shrooms... you KNOW it's psilocybin! And you know they're safe and won't make you trip for a day and a half, and they don't have meth or PCP in them...

I like shrooms better because:
1. Shrooms are free (if you know where to find them) 2. You don't have to question the dose so much. Acid can vary. 3. The shroom trip is wilder. I ofen get visions of alien worlds while on shrooms.

i guess i am just spoiled, but whenever i have purchased lsd i have never had to question it being a research chemical...it always had the characteristics of acid, both in the time line of the trip and consistencies in the effects amongst the different doses. that being said, i think that acid, although being completely synthetic, has all the feelings of something being natural. lsd feels just as "natural" to me as mushrooms or marijuana. using nature as a source of creation for a chemical is a terrible classification of safe or not, there are countless toxic chemicals from nature, as well as countless harmless chemicals that are man made.
i know lots of naturalist people who use this as a reason to not take acid, but have grown spiritually/mentally from mushrooms. some of these people have changed their minds...but some people are just phobic of mankind's own creations. be scared of something we made thats actually scary for fucks sake...like dioxin...

most of the stoners i know bash psychedelics on a whole, they see all drugs as something to get fucked up on, so i no longer smoke with them unless im specifically invited

man mushrooms make me feel all nauseous and uncomfortable
i always feel like the alien fungus is alive and trying to take over my nervous system shrooms make me feel kinda delusional too...because my insights are just crazy things i think and believe are real, vs lsd where my insights tend to be more logical
lsd is so clear and lucid and more about thought and idea it tends to feel like my entire brain and senses and consciousness are being magnified to the millionth power
i have always liked lsd more...there is just something about it....

I far prefer acid over shrooms. I find 'cid to be far more pleasant, with the same sort of insight as shrooms, minus the body load and confusion I get on shrooms. I do find shrooms to be far more constructive than acid. I think about my problems and work out ways to solve them, whereas on acid I seem to appreciate all the great things in my life and accept the bad things.

In my pursuit of acid among unreliable hippies and other such folk on the street, I've only ever found either genuine acid or doses that are weak that they only produce threshold effects or none at all. Of course, this contrasts starkly with mushrooms - if you buy an 8th of cubes in a baggie, they're easy to recognize, and you're guaranteed to be tripping hard in your near future.
And growing shrooms is much easier than synthing LSD.
But in terms of the actual effects of the two drugs, they are obviously both worth doing. I consider the added effort of getting reliable LSD to be worth its distinctiveness. I prefer LSD to shrooms by a wide margin because it's controllable and allows for more than twice as much "stewing."
LSD does have a really dirty reputation. This is due to political fallout from the 60's, and nothing else. I think it's beginning to wear off, though, and it's about time. There is absolutely nothing about it to make it more dangerous than shrooms in any way, unless you are also considering the unpredictable nature of the black market.

I really prefer mushrooms, but both are amazing.
I do think it's kind of ridiculous to not do acid just because it's a chemical, but I think there are other reasons that are acceptable.

being able to grow your own makes mushrooms very important it is totally wholistical and connected, & very centered around the home.
being able to put tiny pieces of paper in your pocket for a month or two and then pull them out (with full potency) and pop in your mouth or give to a friend anywhere makes lsd important and empowering. lsd is very liberated from the home and since it comes indirectly from "the family" whom nobody knows, it is kind of universal and magical but disconnected.
i really prefer the portability aspect of acid but I totally respect the wholistic aspect of mushrooms and would never turn down either unless already riding or involved in matters that don't let you be so expanded.
the natural/chemical thing never occurs to me when comparing these two.

It's not a fungus in itself. It's a modified ergot alkaloid, essentially.
There's lots of chemicals related to Psilocybin that have been synthesised in the last few decades, but none seem to have the same "magic" as Psilocybin itself.

LSD is kids stuff.. shrooms are for grownups..
lsd aint a teacher plant - shrooms are..
teacher plants usually tend to teach.. lsd is like a fun guy to hang out with.
lsd is an entertainment drug.. shrooms are not.
if you are used to taking lsd it will be very easy to take and very easy to deal with.
even when experienced shrooms will be very intense every time..
i think that the 2 cant be compared// peace

At low doses, acid is almost comparable to MDMA in that it's very euphoric and easy, but even at this level it can be a very revelatory experience.
Either you're just not taking enough, or acid effects you differently to most people. Personally, in terms of the experiences, while very different, I find acid and mushrooms equally amazing and useful.
I prefer acid, though, partly because it seems to have more of a lingering effect. The way I feel after a trip is generally the way I feel for a long time afterwards, whereas with mushrooms it's more of a back to baseline thing.
Although, that probably makes mushrooms slightly safer to use more often.

Shrooms aren't a plant, they are a fungus...^
After tripping a few times on both, I still can't decide which I'd prefer. I like both experiences in their own way.
There is something rewarding about consuming the shrooms that you have cultivated yourself, but I love the power lsd has in such a small package.
Overall, each is good for different situations, imo.

Now I've never taken acid before, but from what I've heard the hallucinations on acid is more symmetrical and robotic, while on shrooms they are more natural and flowing.

I would say that the mushies have visuals that are more asymmetrical. Acid often leads to some impressive fractal images. I defintely feel more "in control" of the experience on acid.
If you are not prone to altitude sickness and you have a VERY secure location I recommend you take both! Make sure you have a sitter, though. The come-up just blindsides you...
Have fun!

Because I experience fairly strong visual static (which I've come to realize was always there, but psychedelics brought it out/made it more noticeable), I've been reading a lot about various HPPD symptoms on here. It looks like a great deal of users claim they believe LSD to be more HPPD-inducing than other psychedelics such as Psilocybes, MDMA, Weed, and Mescaline. It's all anecdotal evidence, of course, so there is no way to tell... but it makes me somewhat concerned about one day trying LSD since I'm already so prone to this persistent static.

for those that like lsd better than shrooms because of the controllability: have you ever tried a really low dose of shrooms?
if you are familiar with your mind and how psychedelics effect you, you can take a small dose, say .75-1.25 and have a very good experience in which you still retain some control
meditation can take you very far on very little, ive broken out of the space time continuum on a couple hits of ok weed and meditation, dont underestimate low doses

I am sure this has been said already, but shrooms are not considered a plant, yet. Anyways I used to do mushrooms occasionally for a couple years and then I tried acid. I was freaked out by acid in a way shrooms never got me. Acid felt like it could reach the very core of who I was and change it. I guess a lot of the key differences with shrooms and acid are from where the drugs seem to keep their bag of tricks. Shrooms seems to have another world inside them that they privalege you to come and visit and learn from. Acid simply dissolves the barrier between your head and the rest of reality and brings out your own, personal, inner world. Waiting for a light to turn green on the sidewalk I thought about costa rica and I literally went there right at that moment until the light changed. That is acid. Mushrooms might have had me thinking the light itself was going to signify the dawn of a new era in time when all things in the universe will once again be set into motion as they once were in the beggining, and then the light changes and that massive revelation you just made actually came true! Acid for the special effects and shrooms for the mysticism, both for peace.

If Acid was called something less intimidating, like Sunshine or something, I think people would be a lot more receptive to it. Acid just sounds so harsh (but cool).

first of all i think mushrooms vary a lot more in potency then acid, and i think cuz of this acid is safer, also u could accidently swallow a poisonus mushroom, or if ur unlucky and their outdoor picked swallow some dead flies.

I'm pretty sure acid varies way more in potency.

Personally, I've never understood this fear that most people have of "taking too much". What's the worst that can happen? You'll trip balls. Oh no, how terrible a fate to be tripping balls. 'Tis a mystery to me.

well for me the fear is "not getting what i payed for", or "getting something completely different than i payed for"
my gf seems to have an irrational fear of me using acid, yet she accepts all the other psychedelics i want to try "cause theyre not acid"... she doesnt really concern me tho she knows next to nothing about drugs, so i could be tripping on acid right in front of her and i could say i just ate some mg seeds or hbwr or shrooms and she wouldnt know the difference
but for her, i dont actively seek out acid, if it comes to me, ill do it, but i dont want to betray her trust too much
acid definately varies more, plus the variations are directly due to human actions

I love both, and think that they have alot of benefit to them.
All in all, I usually have a better time on LSD. I find it less confusing and bewildering, and not the body load of mushrooms.
I hate the after effects of it though. It makes me feel like meth used to. Not as bad if I take it early in the day, but if I take it in the evening, it really fucks up my sleep cycle, and throws me out of whack for a couple days. Shrooms never have such a negative after effect for me.

Acid and shrooms is, indeed, a wonderful combination. I've only experienced it once, and that is a damn shame. I'd like to try it again, once I'm in a better mindstate for tripping in general.
The only time I ever "took too much" was when I was hammered on vodka and ate a tenstrip of decent blotter. Because what else would I do? Go to sleep like any rational person would do at 3 AM? No no no. No, I'm going to eat this tenstrip and then pass out for about an hour, then wake up to insane visuals and an acid body high thinking "Oh God what have I done."
One of the best trips of my life, believe it or not.

I used to love shrooms. The smell of fresh mycelium, the biology behind them, hell I didn't even mind the taste. To me they were the perfect drug, second only to mdma which felt better but lacked substance. Then I tried acid and I can't go back. Surprisingly it feels more natural then mushrooms. Less scary and confusing. I think just those two factors contribute to whether you will learn from your trip or not. Mushroom revelations are gone faster then they come but acid ones seem to stick with me. Shrooms sort of put you in your place, make you realize how insignificant everything is but LSD makes you feel like the world is yours. Combining that with intricate visuals and you've got yourself perfection in a molecule. I'm still wary of buying acid cause I have been rc'ed but when the pure stuff is going around (like right now) I'd take it over psilocin anytime. Let the neo-hippie and stoner fags complain about synthetic drugs, it just leaves more for those of us that aren't retarded.
