you can compare large amounts of edibles to shrooms somewhat, but truthfully shrooms is a much much more intense -and interesting- experience usually. With shrooms you will even at 2 grams generally, think ridiculously weird things, find things imbued with tremendous significance and find reality to feel very tenuous and malleable. Thoughts loop and echo, go strange places and -usually- come back in one piece 
shrooms are awesome, but don't go in expecting it to be much like weed

Shroom 'thought patterns' are extremely variable and unpredictable. So are people's minds, or ways of thinking. So it's difficult to predict, but short answer would be more "random". Personally I tend towards analysis to the point of obsession and excessive anxiety. Shrooms allow me to slow down enough to get some distance from my thoughts. The thoughts that do occur to me while tripping are typically less obsessive and more creative. Sometimes, like a child, I'll simply get lost in the moment and won't think of anything--which is tremendously cathartic for a perpetual worrier like myself. Your reaction could be completely different. That's why it's a "trip". You and your friends could book the same tickets to an exotic country, but you will not have a unified internal experience. You'll each bring and take back different things from the same place.
Here's something I wish I learned a long time ago: After your psychedelic experience, consider how you want to integrate it into your day-to-day life. This is often the hardest part, but it pays the longest-lasting dividends in the Department of Wisdom.

From erowid's effects for P. Cubensis 0.75g to 2.5g dry
Quote:
"Cold" feeling, gas and/or stomach discomfort, nausea, pupil dilation, open eye visual effects: lights exhibit auras, star-pattern effects, rainbowing around lighting, lights seem brighter and often "more beautiful", notice movement in periphery, sometimes increased ability to focus, sometimes reduced ability to focus,...
It depends on the dose and trip man. Sometimes you stay focused and clear headed. Other times really scattered or even confused but that normally happens only with higher doses

candela said: Hi. I am about to dive into my first shroom experience in the near future and would like to know what to expect, as far as thought patterns are concerned.
All of my life I have taken "mind altering" plant substances (weed for the most part), but do to my current job, Ive had to stop and Ive been sober for a few years now.
I am in the need to grow as a person again, contrary to what people say, I think most of us take plant substances to grow as people (grow socially, grow emotionally, grow mentally, grow sexually, grow spiritually, etc)
Ive read online that employers dont test for psilocybin, so I am going to be delving into mushrooms very soon, but I had a question...
Are shrooms like weed, as far as "analytic" thought patterns?
I love to think deep, and I remember when I use to smoke alot of weed, I can think about something "very analytically" over and over again. It would help me figure stuff out and grow as a person.
What is a shrooms "thought pattern" like? Is it similar to weed, or do your thoughts bounce all over the place "randomly".
Can someone sit down and write there thoughts while on a shroom trip, like you can on weed?
What your thought patterns are like on shrooms is highly variable and depends on set, setting and dosage. There is more variability in thought patterns with shrooms vs weed. For instance, with weed you can experience many highs that are all somewhat similar to each other. However with mushrooms, you can have one sort of trip one week and then a much different trip a week later.
Thought patterns on psilocybin are generally greatly accelerated, more so than with weed. As the dose increases it becomes harder to control thoughts/direct/complete them. It is actually recommended you lay down all thoughts/turn off your mind on shrooms.
I would say if you want something with thought patterns like weed, you should go for mescaline or LSD. Those, are both much more similar to weed than psilocybin, in my experience. They are analytical and help you think better, whereas mushrooms tend be confusing and disruptive to thinking. Mushrooms are much more about feeling and intuiting than thinking.

Everybody has given great comparisons in this thread. I was in a similar situation to you with a job. So I'll share my experience. I tried replacing weed with shrooms and I can tell you, It doesn't work like that. Shrooms are simply not a substitute. Now, that being said, Shrooms, or any other psychedelic for that matter, are worth every second of the experience. But, they are different tools than cannabis. You can have amazing realizations, connectivity and "ah-ha!" moments while tripping. And, psychedelics can be extremely analytical. But they are in a different way than cannabis. Personally, I like the synergy of cannabis and psychedelics. Also, I feel that smoking during the week or so after a trip help immensely with integration of the trip.
One other thing you should know, since this is your first experience: The psychedelic experience will change the way that you perceive the world. Permanently. Now, this is not a bad thing. >99% of the time, the change is for the better. But, don't go into your trip with the mind set that you are replacing cannabis with mushrooms, or you will be in for a stomping by the shrooms. Good luck and enjoy!

I don't find even high doses of 11-Hydroxy-THC to be anything comparable to mushrooms. Why do people compare mushrooms to weed? It's so bizarre and mushrooms are just so alien you just..could never...
That's like comparing Ayahuasca to weed. Mushrooms are a crazy ass sacred entheogen in my book and a very serious entheogen that is a transdimensional doorway to other realms. Weed could never compare to such a thing. I mean I understand comparing it maybe to acid or 2C-B but not mushrooms man. Mushrooms are a crazy galactic adventure, an intense pensively cathartic experience where you feel like you're in the presences of eternal and humorous alien entities. It's off-world. Mushrooms feels like going 10 million years into the past and 10 million years into the future all at the same time. Or what we have come as human beings to conceptualize as "time" With psilocybin mushrooms though you can enter etheric realms completely adjacent to such a concept.
Overall I find weed more vibrational and spacey like LSD and more prone to LSD-like thought patterns. Mushrooms are just way too deep and dynamic. Something that timeless and emotional could never be compared to pot.

I'm high-functioning autistic and am very sensitive to psychoactives in general.
When I first smoked the green herb a few years ago it felt like a shroom trip effect wise. The serotonin-like euphoria was missing and the conscious perspective changes weren't exactly the same but I had some of the most intense OEVs/CEVs, out-of-body experiences, hyper-conscious awareness and in general felt extremely child-like with a heavy sense of deja vu. The experiences also felt like I was watching myself from a third person perspective.
These are all effects I also experience on shrooms (although shrooms to me seem like everything MJ gives me + more). This could possibly be my natural heightened sense of awareness thanks to autism. My low tolerance or high sensitivity is also a major factor I'm sure. Regardless, I find MJ just as psychedelic as shrooms except it doesn't cover the entire "holistic" range of effects. The analytical thought patterns I find are much more easier to remember and work with on MJ than shrooms where they tend to be very prophetic/epiphanyic.

How was it similar to shrooms though? Just because they both give psychedelic effects doesn't mean they're comparable..why shrooms? Why not LSD? I don't see any relationship between THC and the shroom headspace I really don't. That's like comparing weed to Iboga.
I even found salvia and acid to be more comparable to weed than the fungus. Shrooms is just too different and too unique. And in average to high doses mushrooms become just about the most preeminent entheogen/psychedelic I can think of.
And no weed is not anywhere near as psychedelic as mushrooms. Weed isn't even as psychedelic as the 2Cs so how are you gonna say it's anything close to the tryptamines especially psilocybin? Psilocybin isn't even anywhere close to being an "average psychedelic" people treat it like it's an average psychedelic even though it's the least average and probably the second or third most powerful and alien.

I feel like shrooms acctually increase pattern recognition and allow me to see and feel patters waaaaay better. I can see thought patterns as graphs of mathematical functions and colours and stuff like that. Weed just makes me think everything i do is stupid so i over analyze things. They can both be beneficial.
They have totally different methods of action and effects though so i dont really like comparing them.

If you never smoke weed, and then take a couple good sized dabs back to back, it will certainly feel just as powerful if not more than a shroom trip for a little while. They are two totally different experiences, but they can be compared imo.
I've been smoking weed for well over a decade so this doesn't apply to me, but I have taken dabs after a tolerance break and had my mind blown as to the true power of pot. I've also taken Shrooms at varying dosages for years as well.

I never said a strong dose of mushrooms. I said multiple dabs with zero tolerance can be as strong or stronger than mushrooms, of course not a big dose of mushrooms, but an eighth of cubes, sure.
Sounds like you haven't dabbed with no tolerance before.

Ha fuuuuuuck nooo
It is nowhere near as powerful. It can surely be just as if not more intense but that has nothing to do with how powerful it is on the mind

Lmfao yes....1 gram of shrooms is not intense at all yet is still infinitely more powerful than anything weed could do even though weed could obviously give you a more "intense" high or experience.

The experiences are personal and subjective therefore I cannot speak for anyone but myself (just like you cannot speak for anyone else but yourself regarding your own personal experiences).
I believe that all-in-all it has to do with the drastic shift in conscious perception (the psychedelic effects). One minute I'm sober, next after hitting the bong or vape I'm coming up very quickly to a full blown psychedelic head space. It can be terrifying and confusing if you aren't prepared for it - similar to DMT.
Yes, shrooms are not weed and the effects overall aren't exactly the same however the effects are similar in that they're both psychedelic and can bring up your "true" self, which was my point. For someone who had only done a few shroom trips and barely smoked weed, the effects would be overwhelmingly too psychedelic for me to tell the difference.
My sensitivity and low tolerance also played a major part. Weed for me was intensely psychedelic and in a weed trip I would be almost certain the effects were shroom-like - until I did a shroom trip again to be reminded they aren't exactly the same.
From what I hear, see and read about how others talk about weed it sounded a lot weaker than the way it effected me. Personally I think most people get a mild high from weed compared to myself. I do prefer shrooms though I as I find the effects more "holistic" and more "friendly". Weed I find doesn't "hold your hand" like shrooms does, a bad weed trip can be very difficult to recover from whereas on shrooms you always come back to yourself.
They are both different and have different purposes I believe, weed should definitely be more respected and be used more moderately compared to how most people currently use it. People with underlying psychological issues will definitely get mentally burnt by weed if not used with caution.
Cannabis is the future of medicine.
Shrooms is the future of religion.

Intensity is how crazy and intense a drug feels at that moment, it's mind-blowing that I even have to explain this.
Power is how deep that drug takes you and it doesn't have to feel intense at all. So low doses of LSD aren't intense but they're still VERY powerful more powerful than most drugs in what they do to the mind.

With zero tolerance, your first time smoking THC should be a minor psychedelic experience, may accompany audio and visual hallucinations/distortions. It can have similar effects the first few times and the euphoria can be matched in low doses of mushrooms.
They both have the same natural feeling as they have no side effects or downfalls with moderated use, but the mushroom experience is different from the marijuana experience. And high doses of each don't compare.

No side effects with moderate use?
Mushrooms cause nausea, muscle tension, frequent urination, trouble urinating, feeling really cold even when it is warm outside, loss of apetite, they prevent you from sleeping, ect.
They both cause anxiety
Weed can burn you out even with small ammounts, it impairs memory for the duration of the high (even longer in you abuse it),
Both drugs have many side effects co pared to other drugs.
Btw maybe not all of you get these but i do.

Well I think mushrooms are the future of medicine too but anyways I'm not just basing this off my own personal experience so just letting you know that. I almost never do that actually.
I don't think weed shows you your true self either. Maybe it's because my true self is always being shown to me anyways but it doesn't seem like weed really changes that.
I still don't find it even remotely comparable to mushrooms, like I said to me mushrooms is just as much of a crazy shamanic thing as Ayahuasca or Iboga. It's that serious, to me shrooms are very comparable to just those crazy ass jungle drugs or some kind of exotic entheogen whereas weed is just a mundane herbal entheogen that is very limited. They couldn't be more different and the hallucinogenic effects from weed even though they are hallucinogenic I still don't find them to be anywhere near the same kind of hallucinogenic. In fact weed has been shown not to just have psychedelic properties but dissocative and deliriant properties as well. This is why Id rather compare it to salvia.
I mean shrooms changed my entire view on everything so by default my weed trips are kind of "shroom-like" but so is everything else about life since doing them....and I still find weed to be MUCH more LSD-like than shroom-like and LSD has had a MUCH more direct effect on the way THC effects me.
Weed has always effected me pretty strongly too. It seriously used to give me visuals back when I first started that seemed like salvia but mushrooms are just waaay too otherworldly and alien to compare. Way too shamanic and sacred feeling. I think weed effects nearly everyone in a more psychedelic way than they like to admit. I think the only thing that keeps them from admitting it is afraid of sounding weird.

Well your right on with the intensity that's basically it ya but I don't think power really relates to spiritual significance solely but I do think it has a part in that. Just how much something can flip your mind. Idk hard to explain really.

Those are effects of the drug itself, and may very well be psychosomatic. I wouldn't call them "side effects" as it generally is included in every experience, you could say the tiredness of THC is a side effect in that case, I was referring to long term side effects, or even immediate detrimental effects to your health, you can't die from overdosing is what I'm saying, its a natural benign substance, and you feel it leave and work with your body in a natural way, there's no physical residual shit that goes on, and no negative long lasting feelings from the substances with moderate use and even in some cases of abuse.

It wouldnt be a side effect if you took shrooms to get nausea, tense muscles and to prevent you from sleeping, but people dont. Because to me side effect means any effect of the drug that isnt the reason you took the drug. To me an effect doesnt need to be long term or negitive to be considered a side effect.
I see what you mean now though. Just that they arent very harmful at all.
Also they arent psychosomatic they are the effects of activated serotonin receptors.

By spiritual i dont necessarily mean religious, just that it has an impact on you as a person.

Oh well I don't consider that spiritual lol. When I ay spiritual I literally mean relating to the spirit. I don't consider other big events in life that shape me as a person as being "spiritual" even though in some strange sense they are spiritual and really everything kind of is but in relation to everything else they don't stick out as being unusually "spiritual" like the tryptamine psychedelics.

Oh true. I consider anything that has a large impact on your life to have spiritual significance.
Like its just a word i use for it because there are no other words that i know of, it does confuse alot of people though. Some people think im talking about supernatural things.

Ya I mean I would just call it life changing or even 'profound' not spiritual. I mean they say "spiritual" can mean many different things but that's really only partially true, it really just mostly refers to having to do with the spirit or I guess you could say "the supernatural"
For me spiritual experiences are life changing but life changing experiences aren't spiritual

We have 2 totally different definitions of spiritual then.
But what i dont get is that you say the spirit like its an acctual thing. What us your definition of spirit?

Ha ok it's just that it's kind of confusing and would probably work better with a different word because most of the time it is used to refer to supernatural phenomenon.
Also spirit is not a physical thing at least according to it's definition and basically means your soul I guess but the definition of 'soulful' is different from 'spiritual'. Just based on what the definitions are though.
