Is acid easier to handle than shrooms?

Hello all, This is my first post and I apologize if it's in the wrong area and I know there must be thousands of similar posts but I want to describe my experience with drugs and how I feel about them.
Basically, I want to try acid but considering my last trip, I'm pretty nervous about it. I smoke weed almost every day but have only shroomed twice. The first time, my three best friends and I took an eighth each of some gold caps and we all had unique and really amazing experiences. The second time, I got together with five close friends and we each took an eighth of some weird looking dark blue/black and white shrooms. We ate those on a pizza which tasted great but turned out to be a bad idea! Within half an hour I was high as shit and my stomach was hurting a little but it still seemed like it was gonna be a great trip. About 3 hours later, while peaking, I started feeling very sick. I mean sicker than I've ever been in my life. I felt like I couldnt get up and my throat felt very funny like it was swelling up or something (or maybe I was just trippin out). I was also spitting some weird white shit like every 20 seconds. But, I kept telling myself id get over it and I just needed to go with the flow so I kept a pretty positive mind and didnt bad trip too hard. Then, out of nowhere, I puke all over the place! This made me feel better though. Right about this point everyone else was peaking too (The high seems to always hit me before anyone else) and this is when shit got outta control. One of the guys started hearing shit and literally lost his mind and started breaking shit! This is at my house btw so I was getting fucking pissed! Meanwhile my other friend loses his mind and really got weird and drove off without telling anyone... After all, everyone was fine and the dude breaking shit payed for all the damages but this was some really scary shit.
So now here I am, I loved tripping the first time and I def wanna trip again. My good friend told me that although he prefers crazy shroom trips, he finds acid easier to handle. He says you can bad trip on LSD but you won't get sucked into it the same way you can on shrooms. So I'm wondering if that's just the way he reacts to it or if it's that way for most people? I'm thinking that after doing acid ill be a little more confident to do shrooms again and I can start with smaller doses and work my way up.
But as far as acid goes: can it make me physically sick like shrooms did? Is it a little bit easier to handle or will it just mindfuck me if I dont have the right state of mind? Is it possible that I was allergic to those shrooms or was it just cause of the pizza I ate? Were those shrooms maybe just bad shrooms?
I appreciate any answers, comments or personal preferences and experiences. Thanks guys!

I never tried LSD myself but I've read that it is much more easier to handle. The effects come in smoothly and gradually so you don't shift from reality to another universe in a short period of time. If you're scared of having a bad trip try candy flipping (MDMA + LSD)

In my opinion yes LSD is much easier to handle than shrooms. LSD is much more "scientific" and you are in control for the most part. You are in the driver seat. Mushrooms.... mushrooms takes you where mushrooms wants to go whether you want to or not.. I have taken extremely high doses of LSD and been able to maintain my cool, where extremely high doses of mushrooms have handed me my ass. I don't think I have ever had a "bad trip" on LSD, and I have eaten LSD probably 20x more than I have eaten mushrooms.
There can be an element of mindfuck with LSD. But the entire key is your mindset. Set and setting, very important. Shrooms are the king of mindfuck.
Acid should not make you feel sick at all. Maybe a tiny quesyness or uneasiness in the chest at first, but it passes. You get nauseous from shrooms due to the other 6 toxins that aren't making you trip

Mushrooms are harder to handle in the sense that they put you in fear, acid is harder to control in the sense that it can bring strong confusion and that can be scary.
Over doing shrooms are more scary because its straight on fear from paranoia and over thinking things that are true, too much acid might make you scared in the sense that you can't tell what's really going on.

You guys are nuts! I've eaten like 2 ten strips of geltabs... a half a vial of silver.. and not had a bad trip. It's all in your mindset.

Can you describe what made those experiences negative? We're you bad tripping or just not feeling as good as you do on shrooms?

can cause a variety of unwanted physical side effects, but they seem to tend to be uncommon.
I'd like to point out, the nausea that shrooms often cause can be avoided by making a tea out of the shrooms instead of eating them. Though, this can change the trip strength/duration.

I'm not gonna go into huge detail. I just think it's weird stuff, okay lol. I probably did it too young, it had lasting negative effects, so I'm biased. Did it again later, had an okay trip, but mostly bad ones.
I'd rather have mushrooms.

I prefer mushrooms over LSD because I adore the mindfuck. Mushrooms at high doses will leave me in a fetal position regretting what I have done until the peak subsides. With LSD I've always been able to hold my composure no matter the dose.

IMO Acid is way less stressful and easier to handle. I've also gotten the most insane euphoria off of LSD.
Mushies are good too, but eh... I'd take LSD over mushies anyday

Seems like the level of trip is exponential relative to dosage with shrooms, and linear with acid.

Comparing my experience taking a quad of boomers over the course of an hour and a half (while drinking copious amounts of alcohol) and accidentally eating a ten strip my first time ever taking a psychedelic, I don't necessarily agree.
They're both different, and both need to be respected.

I have never taken a heroic dose of either, but I have ego-deathed a couple times - never on LSD.
Acid for me makes me feel slightly more in control of everything, I'd rather socialize on it than on mushrooms. Acid is an upper and I get negative side effects similar to stimulants, feel a little dehydrated and my muscles tend to lock up and it makes it hard to really relax, physically speaking.
Shrooms have always been more of a mind fuck. I get a similar afterglow from both, but because acid is so much longer I am wiped out for the entire day after, whereas the afterglow from shrooms is more apparent and it re-energized and rejuvenates me, almost.
There are time distortions for me on both, but different sorts of time distortions. If I get anxious at all, it will be on the come up on a mushroom trip, not acid.
I always feel that mushrooms give me a cleansing and healing effect, albeit more of a mindfuck, and acid is totally enlightening and cerebral.

ego-death/loss on lsd goes way deeper than shrooms ime. some people just can't get to this level of experience for some reason.
kinda like doing this for 6 hours feeling like lifetimes (except the space was much more vast than any mandelbrot set could display.
next day and a half constant OBEs and stuck out of body feeling. memory was completely erased, no name no nothing. smoking a heavy indica was required to enter the fractal void, and it took multiple frequent trips of high dosing to finally reach the breakthrough point. nothing compares to the intensity of this trip ime.

Thanks for posting this, OP. My best wishes to you, whatever you decide to do.
One question from me, and I hope this isn't a really dumb question. Which is more similar to dreaming? Or which one produces images and sensations more similar to dreams? I noticed a lot of people say LSD gives them a more clear-headed, lucid high, but I was always under the impression that it was supposed to induce a dreamlike state and that the reason some people experience bad trips is because they don't feel the same sense of safety that dreaming gives them. They feel it's more than just a product of their own mind and that there's something more sinister at work. I would probably try shrooms before acid anyway, just because I'm looking for something more spiritual and cathartic, but I would really appreciate any insight.  I sound like such a noob.

Acid's a lot more clear headed for me and definitely easier to handle. The driver/passenger analogy someone else said was perfect.

K idk what acid people are getting but it is in no way "easier than shrooms" maybe low doses but real pure acid is not "more visual than shrooms" it's not easier than shrooms. It's a perfect psychedelic that is everything you wanted in shrooms. The infinite energy. The no nausea. It's just as mind fucky at good doses (2+ hits of this good shit). I'm definiyely in the passenger seat. It is king. Both are love and i wouldn't trade one for the other. They're both amazing.
They're both just as natural. Acid just gets a lame placebo until you open up to it.

i would say something along the lines of mushrooms, it feels more natural, and "earthy" to me.
IMHO reality feels more like dreaming than drugs do.

The pizza probably made you sick dude, don't eat for like 6 hours (less time is fine) all nausea I've experienced on shrooms was due to me eating before or with them.

TLDR. Yes I can handle LSD much better than shrooms. I think shrooms tell me more about myself though. It's just not always so comfortable being told about yourself.

This guy has the right idea. In the past I might have said shrooms are easier to handle. Then I got hold of some good, Strong LSD. And in no way was it easier than a shroom trip. I've noticed a certain threshold with acid. Before you get to it, trips are Very easy to handle - almost too manageable. But when you get over this threshold, everything intensifies greatly. The visuals are much more prominent and unpredictable than even 5 grams of cubes. The mindfuck is completely inescapable. And, possibly most relevant to this thread, it really fucks with your body. I've never felt the need to throw up on acid, but there's no doubt it can make you physically uncomfortable. You'll usually know how hard you're going to trip by the initial effects. If you get a a stimulated body buzz after the first half hour, the trip should be on the light side. Your body and/or head seems to literally buzz with an anticipatory energy. On the other hand, following the 30 min period after dosing, if you start feeling a drunkenness not entirely unlike the comeup on shrooms, you are in for a hell of a ride. Your respiratory system tends toward disarray. Your blood seems to pulse angrily through your body. You may not be getting visuals yet, but fear not! Before long you'll have more than you know what to do with. The control factor remains true even at high doses... You are more in control in an acid trip. But if you're tripping hard enough, this doesn't always feel like a good thing. It can be hard, in these trips, to remind yourself Do Not Exert Influence On Anything! Because though you can do anything you wish, you are not at all in your right mind.
Both should be respected. But once you have a heavy, ego-shattering dose of Lucy, you'll likely never be scared to dose mushrooms again.

One thing I would like to point out if you are going to do a large dose of either L or shrooms, is that if you do in fact have a bad trip and cant "handle it, shrooms typically only last 6-8 hours where L will last for 12+ hours.
I cant give any personal experience on acid because I still have never had the pleasure of having legit LSD (STILL LOOKING) But all the times I've done shrooms I have had a great time and was never unable to handle it.

Not in my opinion. To me shrooms feel very organic. Like a normal state of mind. LSD on the other hand has that "I'm on powerful drugs" feeling.
I find that LSD makes me feeling overly energetic to the point of discomfort and overly emotional (in the different way than mushrooms.) I've had "bad" experiences on both but only LSD has ever made me feel like I had truly lost my mind.
I also find that LSD is more taxing (probably due to the duration) on the mind. I find that after an LSD trip I feel much more "burned" compared to a mushroom trip which to me feels more "medicinal." If find that I can go almost indefinitely taking mushrooms every 7 days. Trying the same with LSD states to make me feel perma-spaced and therefore needs to be used more sparingly.
Finally I think LSD has effected my personality strongly. I'm convinced that LSD has actually changed the way my brain works, forever. Mushrooms only ever seemed to enhance/activate what was already there, whereas the acid "added something new."
In conclusion I consider LSD to be much more psychologically powerful that mushrooms. I believe LSD lends itself to negativity more than mushrooms due to the highly erratic thought stimulation.
That said I feel that LSD is less inebriating that mushrooms and it's much harder to function/act normally while tripping on an equivalent dose of mushrooms. I'm sure this is where the popular saying "acid puts you in the drivers set blah blah" comes from.

16 hits LSD (ganesha blotter) no prob the one time I tried (had tolerance)
1.7g mushrooms, bad trip, even though 100+ high dose lsd experiences
:-)
but it was 1.7g powder w. aborts in + redwine, about same potency increase as lemon tek
luckily I didn't use my phone in that bad trip... luck
so yes, lsd is much easier for me to handle in any setting
the only bad with lsd is the fear of dying but that is learned to deal with in 100 trips or so then it's almost impossible to have a bad trip... 1 bad trip in 200 trips or so, and I don't remember it, dosed so high there is no recall 
always take 3 hits with lsd, impossible to have a bad trip if you respect setting all fear is left behind, for you are not you anymore, you are everything

if one can learn to play with their deepest fears, and befriend the darkest aspects of themselves, then one can enter any kind of trip with no bad experiences.
one must accept oneself and the world they are a part of, in order to accept all that life has to offer, and all that a mushroom or LSD trip or any kind of trip would have to offer
if there is any part of the equation you can not accept, or you choose not to accept, then that little thing can propel you into a spiral of disconnection, but only if you choose to focus on the nonacceptance. you can ignore it, but it will always be back there somewhere poking fun at you until you accept it
these are our "demons". they will tease at us if we choose to ignore them, and will haunt us if we deny them. but if we accept them, they will appear to be what they really are, figments of our mental psyche represented in archetypal forms. demons, devils, these are just ourselves expressed as dark or evil entities.
if we accept them as just ourselves, they loose all power. you are in control of your reality. do not believe those who try to convince you that you are not

YES ACID GETS A LAME PLACEBO. Everyone and their dog always says shrooms feel more natural. Acid is a chemical blah blah blah. That's just a stupid.placebo people put onto it. It feels just as pure and natural.
It's funny you stupidly judge me. Sounds like you haven't taken acid.

Because people call it a chemical and how it feels like a chemical. Not until you open up to it as a real natural psychedelic is when it feels so pure.
Depends on how well the blotters were laid but I'd definitely say that both 1/4 and 3 hits would have done what you say 1/4 did. I did 2 hits and had trouble conversing with friends. Had intense mind loops that made me think I wasn't ok with myself (which I now see why I went through that) but back to the topic at hand. Different strokes for different folks.

So is psilocybin by that logic. Every drug is a chemical but to say it feels unnatural is ridiculous. I'm not saying each blotter isn't different. I'm not saying crap. I'm saying acid is just as crazy as shrooms. I'm calling it a major psychedelic and not some smooth roller coaster with an easy checkout. I think generalizing would be saying that you're ok on acid and that you're fully in control.

IME acid is definitely easier to handle than shrooms. For me even low doses of shrooms have the potential to result in a very emotionally turbulent trip. LSD, on the other hand, has never given me significant paranoia or anxiety, even at very high doses.
EDIT: another factor to consider is the freshness of the shrooms. I've found that old dried mushrooms generally have unpleasant somatic effects (body load), whereas freshie trips are more euphoric and mental.

This can go either way for me. I find them both to be two totally different substances and I love them both. In my experience, they are both hard to handle in their own way. I find that Mushrooms are more convicting. They confront you with you're wrong doings and the mood swings can get very intense. I find "Convicting" to be the right word because in my opinion, a bad Mushroom trip could be a little harder to get out of, because it is more an "internal" or "emotional" issue. (Not always, sometimes it just freaks people the fuck out). Mushrooms have more of a "dream" vibe to me.
LSD in my opinion, is in a way more clear headed. However, I think in a way the clear headed feeling can sometimes be even more frightening. LSD's bad trips form more around just fear of the experience, or disturbing confusion, and often times it can cause you to think you've actually gone insane. LSD is clear headed to the point where it has had me literally unaware of what's real or fantasy. I feel it takes you so deep into the layers of your Consciousness that it can be hard to dig yourself out of the thoughts in your head.
This is subjective to my experience. They have both given me bliss as well as humbled me by kicking my ass. So I respect both. For me though, in low doses, LSD is easier to handle. But in higher doses, sorry, I gotta say LSD is more intense. I have done as much as 11 grams dry, and don't get me wrong, it was fucking ridiculous, but 5 hits of LSD scared the shit out of me a couple days ago. Great trip but ridiculously overwhelming and scary in the beginning. Relentless visuals and the come up isn't always gradual, not at all. I've had Mushroom come ups that were gradual as well as very sudden. I have also had gradual LSD come ups as well as extremely hard hitting. To me that part can be a roll of the dice.
I think the duration of LSD is more intimidating too. I've tripped for 10 hours on LSD. Longest I've tripped on Shrooms was no longer than 8 hours, and that can be kind of rare. For me, Shrooms usually last 5 or 6 hours. Just my personal experience though.
Lower Doses: Mushrooms are more intense Higher Doses: LSD is more intense
This isn't true for everybody or maybe anybody else though, this is how it is for me.

Count me as one who thinks LSD is easier. Mushrooms just get really fucking dark sometimes, never really had that same experience with L. When L gets shitty I just get confused and anxious.
I get really annoyed when people refuse to acknowledge that either one is a possibility though. I've met people who have never done drugs that are like "Oh, wow, I always assumed mushrooms would be safer/easier/whatever". That's cool, but when I hear "No way you're wrong" I just want to tell them to fuck off. Even more annoying from people who have tried drugs.

Over doing shrooms are more scary because its straight on fear from paranoia and over thinking things that are true, too much acid might make you scared in the sense that you can't tell what's really going on.
I stand by what I say, mushrooms give you fear in over realizations and paranoia, which imo would be much more scary because they're real and you're thinking whatever you're freaking out about will be worry some even when sober.
LSD makes you think "OMG I have no idea what's going on I have no control over what's happening" and you just have to wait to sober up because you know youl be fine then.
I'd say shrooms has a deeper fear element that LSD doesn't have.

Honestly they are 2 wildly different experiences. Couldn't compare them they are both equally ridiculous and thought provoking. If I had to choose though mushrooms hands down. Ehat a fucking chemical that shit is.

LSD is psychedelic by causing confusion and the insight comes from you seeing how your rain works when taken apart, it feels like your a crazy person, probably how schizophrenia is like.
Shrooms are god like and gives you deep insights on life.
Both very interesting. These are my experiences with them at least.

Personally I feel like i said, acid is a very very cerebral experience. It got my interested in the subject of sensory information in general, because it felt like it turned up the volume in my brain to a 10 - it is very enlightening and a thinking experience compared to mushrooms. Mushrooms kind of let me find myself, and i feel like they healed or cleansed me to some extent. Acid made me ponder the nature of not just myself, but the human condition, the universe and multi-verse. Both are reminders that the world is beautiful and things will be okay, but acid I think, taught me the true meaning of beauty - it also increased feelings of self-acceptance for me as well as a girl who has in the past, struggled with eating disorders and just a buncha shit, really, that is now pretty much obsolete and apart of the past.
I have no doubt this is at least partially due to psychedelics.
Mushrooms helped me with so so much as well, I cannot overstate that enough(I have/had minor PTSD, and psychedelics in general are an amazing thing to people struggling with that), and I feel like I could eat mushrooms throughout my entire life for that reason - but acid got me thinking on a whole different level.
Both were important and influential factors in my life, they compliment one another, but make no mistake, they definitely feel different.

set and setting are huge when it comes to both
but lsd ....idk man it's magical...to answer the question though yeah I think it's a substance that's easier to handle...like it breaks down the barriers where you might think you're not in control...you kind of see past it with a big enough dose of lsd....it becomes kind of comical that you had thought that to begin with...I feel like mushrooms take you where you were heading at that point in your life. IDK it's crazy lol

Sometimes I like lsd, sometimes shrooms Sometimes both 
Theyre both great
Probably just what youre used to You have to learn to let go with each
Only chose lsd over shrooms due to long trip And shrooms over lsd for cooler cevs
Else theyre very similar hard to tell the difference in trip often Both are great and taught much But lsd has taught a bit more each time. . Lessons each time
Good lsd is bliss, 100% love the whole trip and after it Heals the soul

Legend said:
IMHO reality feels more like dreaming than drugs do.
Are you suggesting that reality is the only real dreaming I've been doing, and that shrooms/acid would bring me closer to where I need to be? The reason I asked which one was more similar to dreaming was because I've always felt more, hmmm.... alive, when I'm dreaming. That's why I always look forward to sleeping, it's like another world for me. So what I feel is dreaming could actually be reality? But.... it is reality, isn't it? I created it. Well, my mind did. I think I understand what you're trying to say, Legend. Wise words, my friend.

one must accept oneself and the world they are a part of, in order to accept all that life has to offer, and all that a mushroom or LSD trip or any kind of trip would have to offer
if there is any part of the equation you can not accept, or you choose not to accept, then that little thing can propel you into a spiral of disconnection, but only if you choose to focus on the nonacceptance. you can ignore it, but it will always be back there somewhere poking fun at you until you accept it
these are our "demons". they will tease at us if we choose to ignore them, and will haunt us if we deny them. but if we accept them, they will appear to be what they really are, figments of our mental psyche represented in archetypal forms. demons, devils, these are just ourselves expressed as dark or evil entities.
if we accept them as just ourselves, they loose all power. you are in control of your reality. do not believe those who try to convince you that you are not
What a powerful post.  You made me think of a quote that really struck me when I first read it....
No man can hide from his fears; as they are a part of him, they will always know where he is hiding.
This is what really draws me to psychedelics. They allow your mind to be pushed to the absolute brink. Something inside tells me this is what I need. I live in my head so much anyway, so I really feel a good trip would only enhance what I'm already experiencing, and offer me so much more. Don't get me wrong, I'm a little apprehensive about tripping for the first time, but I think that's normal. I know that setting is of utmost important, and I've already pretty much decided that I want to trip somewhere outdoors, maybe in a heavily wooded area, and just completely immerse myself in the experience. I'm still a little iffy about whether it should be alone or not, as I hate the thought of a "trip sitter", but I don't want to underestimate these gifts either. No way.
Thanks for all the quality posts, guys. I'm still learning so much. It seems that maybe I'm not giving acid quite the respect it deserves, with all the experiences I'm reading about. It seems like it could probably give me the good mental ass-kicking I've had coming. As many of you have stated, though, all of these experiences are very subjective and it could very well be that shrooms are more my cup of tea, as I suspect they are.

set and setting is super important, and be sure to acknowledge that you may have fears about any set or setting, it's only a matter of discovering them.
indoors you may be afraid of boxes, doors, mind-controlling cats or televisions. outdoors you may have fears of spiky tree branches, coyotes, bears or spiders, or other peoples. it's all a matter of what you focus on while under the influence. if your mind starts to wander off into dark territory, you better have some sort of rope to grab onto, to lead you back to safety.

Interesting you say that weed was always mine with mushrooms.
For some reason it always helped tether me when things started getting out of hand.

Sounds to me like you can let go to acid but not shrooms. If you can or can't let go on both. They're both basically the same substance. Shrooms and acid really aren't that different. Idk why we think they're so night and day. If every blotter is different and every shrooms different how could you define them as one or the other. Chemically they're different but by the effects they're no different than wine vs beer.

If a man did only shrooms. He'd learn what he could if he only did acid. No matter the psychedelic the end results are the same. So to say acid does 1 thing and shrooms do another is absurd. They're really not that different. Might feel different a bit but they're really not any different of a drug.

They're somewhat similar, but I think there are very defined differences between them in far more ways.

I do see your point, overall they in a sense open up and effect the same areas of our mind, but still, I'm not sure that's totally accurate.

You think that a drug that kills your ego does it different than a different drug with the same effects of killing your ego? Psychedelics are ego killers. It could feel different because it's acid. It could feel different because every trip is different but in the end they kill a piece of your ego. It's like saying you go to drive to golf in a Camry vs a corolla. You get to the golf course differently but in the end you're still playing golf.

The analogies are interesting, but I still think there are differences. Again, I am agreeing in that what the experiences can bring overall is very similar. There are just many differences as well, enough differences to at least say you can find the logic in comparing them.

I dont like mushrooms because of the heavy body load. I get a lot out of them, but I only do them if I grow them to see how strong they are.

That's completely understandable. I find both of them overwhelming but not too overwhelming. Just enough to tickle me in all the right ways. Shrooms can have an intense body load but it's kitten play compared to the dark places acid can take you. Both can take you to those dark places btw. In OPs situation where he doesn't like vomiting and what not. I'd recommend acid. It's more in the head and shrooms can be both head and body. But don't take a 10 strip thinking it'll be easier than shrooms because it surprises you every time. Sometimes it can get very overwhelming especially when you're with the wrong group of people.
