Mushrooms vs LSD

I was wondering what you guys thought of acid vs mushrooms, I have tripped a shitload more acid than mushrooms, but have taken quite a bit of both.
I always felt like mushrooms peaked almost about an hour in and was pretty hardcore, but then you were still tripping, but majorly more in control then the first couple hours.
Acid was always like holy fuck I am only 2hours in and I am this fucked up, then you finally peaked, hardly realizing it cause I was so fucked up, not that I did not realize it I did not care just wanted to enjoy, then, all of a sudden I could tell I had peaked and was coming down, and was bummed, anyone else feel the same?

They're both great!
Acid is more rare for me, and it was my dream chemical since 13. It was everything and more. I like the longer duration, the visuals, and its not really a mindfuck. My mental state is more connected, very human feeling. I don't criticize myself, I'm just very elated. I've never taken a really heavy dose though, so I'm sure that easy going feeling could change completely at a high dose.
Mushrooms are pretty easy to find for me. Less visual, more mind fuck. Alternating between elation and examining myself, often becoming critical. My last trip, I took an eighth, and I remember coming down, and I wasn't ready to come down. I wanted some more time in that psychedelic state.
Both are fantastic, but if I had a choice right now, it'd be LSD.

Wow, it was and still is at the moment easier for me to get lsd than mushrooms in the middle of America! I'm not so young anymore 36, I guess you could say I'm old enough to know better but not enough to care, LOL!
LSD, when I was in high school in the 90s was as easy, if not sometimes easier to get than weed! It was everywhere, you could buy a 100 lot for 2-300 bucks 3 being on the high end of things!
It was so common, people everyday at school would tell you they were tripping, and you could tell, it was nothing back then what it is now, I mean nowadays, unless you have a reputable dealer, you have no idea wtf you are getting, not so in the 90s, it was really good, good, decent or bunk! And when I drop down to the decent level I'm talking a decent trip, at least 10 hours, not that way anymore!

mushrooms: Feels like the psilocybin molecules go through every single cell of your brain. You get extremely aware of your body and how it works as a biological machine. Forces you into a meditative state. The visuals look organic and liquid. It gets intense but the afterglow is absolutely worth it. A very ironic teacher.
LSD: More gentle than mushrooms. Amazing visuals and perfect for music. I've cried of happiness many times on this stuff, because it's so beautiful. Lasts a very long time which might get annoying.
this is only my experience, of course.

And just to add a quik reply about mushrooms, we never knew wtf,cubensis, paneolus,or what which I am sure they were,cubensis,but you did not know they were Cambodian, Amazonian, or wtf, I was just lucky, and the very first time I got them, I paid close attention to what they looked like, smelled like, and then once I took them, I knew if you were getting real Mushrooms or not, once you know that smell you never forget! And surprisingly, I was never, ever sold or attempted to be sold fake mushrooms, acid a few times but not very many, and those few times was when the person had just got a blotter paper, the shit that was bunk was nothing, prob. Just undipped blotter paper!

Both are certainly unique tools to be used in their own way. I find myself not being a big fan of the mushroom body high. The experience always felt like there was an agenda behind it where LSD for me was much more neutral. I think I prefer LSD by far, but I might just need to get down with the fungi more often at higher doses to see how I feel.

Yup, the '90's were a heyday for LSD- it was easy to find, reliable, and cheap. Easier to find than shrooms even though I lived in a Gulf state where they grow plentifully. Gotdang kids these days with their iPhones and such don't know what's what!
I actually haven't noticed much difference between acid and shrooms (cubes at any rate) in terms of psychedelic effects. Main differences for me are that LSD lasts longer and seems a bit speedy, while shrooms give more of a body high/euphoria. I generally prefer LSD actually, especially or microdosing, but shrooms are better if I'm tripping later in the day and want to get to sleep at a reasonable hour.

I love both. They are very similar but also totally unique. The main noticeable differences for me are the onset time after dosing (mushrooms are much more rapid) the mushrooms comeup seems more "powerful" and like your socks are about to be blown off and the duration, acid lasts longer.
As far as visuals go, the way I see it, acid makes things in your vision (objects, lights) distort and be patterned etc whereas mushrooms make your vision itself distorted almost as if you are looking through a trippy filter.
ps acid works better in rave situations IME

I would not say either is stronger or harder to handle. I think set and setting matter more here.
If I have strong mushrooms it pretty much feels like acid to me. But I can't eat more than a quarter oz without upsetting my stomach and that makes for less fun trips.
Done both several times and i definitely prefer acid

I've done acid hundreds of times, no joke! But mushrooms, maybe 30x, and this is a fucked up thing to tell on myself, but u speaking of your stomach hurting, one time I had come from a night of shroomin, and me and my bro were finishing up are cigs on the front porch, before thè dreaded wAlk through my parents house, and my stomach started killing me, and then bigger than anything, I shit my pants BIG TIME, it was overflowing out of the back of my pants, you talk about a shitty situation, LOL, I may just write a post about that!

I don't like any one particular psychedelic more than another. I do like certain psychedelics for certain settings and uses though...They all have something to offer.
I find mushrooms to have a "heavier" and a more lethargic feel about them compared to L, much more sleepy and dreamy compared to how acid can have that stimulating uppity buzz to it. My thought process, ability to talk, and over all "functionality" is impaired far more on mushrooms than it is with L. The over all pulls & tugs on the emotions are more pronounced. Mushrooms are way way more inward of an experience for me.
L is something I like to take with a few friends, or out during the day in nature, or at festival in low to moderate doses....Mushrooms are something I usually take alone in my room, or maybe with one friend, and almost always indoors in a very quiet and comfortable place, and moderate to high doses.
L is something I'd do spur the moment if the opportunity arises, mushrooms are something I kinda have to think about a little before I eat them.
On L, I may laugh hysterically, but it will be because of something very specific that I found to be humorous, I'll see a lot of humour in things....on mushrooms, I'll be laughing hysterically at not a damn thing, for not any reason. (generally tho, I'm usually mute and silent for hours while tripping)

And when I drop down to the decent level I'm talking a decent trip, at least 10 hours, not that way anymore!
I grew up in the 90s too and I could always get good acid easily and cheaply, but the weed situation was never as good. Weed was shitty brown mexican weed and hard to come by.
I remember getting acid all day for 5 a pop or 2-300 a sheet. Another benefit of that was that there were no such thing as rc to worry about; the worst you'd encounter was bunk shit with no acid on it, and that was pretty rare.
Ahh, the 90s- NIN and Cypress Hill and TOOL, plus lots of gansta rap. 
I can't get acid at all now, but I don't know any of the people I grew up with because I basically changed my life and moved. The benefit of being an adult and having your own place is that you can grow shrooms.
Anyway, I haven't had acid in a long time, but think I remember the duration being longer than shrooms with less of a body load.

Man, you are right, VERY RARELY, could you score good weed, almost always Mexican!
And the music, you are right, except you forgot Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden, FUCK, there's too many to mention!
As far the acid, I can still score it on occasion, but have ran across the rcs, which was never a problem as you mentioned!

I still remember certain batches of blotter by name because they were so potent: blue shields where some of the best, but I also had purple microdots that were crazy! 
My high school was fucked and there were drugs galore. Sheeat how about some Nirvana or Eazy-E? No internet or cell phones though I did use AOL and AOHELL, and play Doom. I guess I was more computer literate than most in the 90s. Was sysop on a few really small high school BBS. Did you ever play any games on BBSes like Barren Realms Elite?
