Acid or Shrooms for first timer?
    #23516376 - 08/06/16 04:14 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

So they're both obviously great for first timers but which do you guys think is better between the two? Or more ideal?

I have about 3 long time friends that I want to introduce to psychedelics and I really wanted them to try mushrooms first but I don't have any connections for psilocybin right now only LSD so it looks like they're probably gonna try that instead since one of them is leaving town to go back to school soon. There just won't be enough time to wait for shrooms, I think my friends are a little more intimidated by acid but I know they can probably handle it better than mushrooms.

So even though I usually recommend shrooms as a first psychedelic and want my friends to take shrooms first that's really only because I think they're the better drug not because I think they're ideally better for a first timer. In all honesty I actually think LSD is definitely better for a first timer so what do you guys think?

I tried lsd first time when i was 15 orange gel tab in 2008 aaahhhh i can remember it like yesterday! I had an amazing time and experience that I'll never forget made me sooo intrested  in psychedelics , anywho Point being in my opinion lsd is less of a mindfuck and you can remain in control, where as shroom take you on a journey,  I'd recommend the LSD but that's all in my subjective opinion of course, either way I'm sure they'll love it!

Shrooms, as acid can last over 12 hours. The shorter duration, the minimum burnt out feel and recovery time (depending on the dose and personal mileage of course) lean toward, to me, a better first timer experience.

I may be biased though, shrooms were my first timer experience.

I think it depends on the person/situation. I am partial to the natural psychedelics and shrooms are my favorite, so of course I would say shrooms.

I feel like the much shorter duration makes them a lot more manageable for first timers, especially because at lower dosages they really start to wear off quick after the peak.

However, in some people, like my mom for instance (who has never tripped) if she were to ever want to trip I would give her LSD instead. Why? Because she is paranoid about getting stomach problems and LSD is easier on the stomach. In addition to that, I believe that LSD (and also mescaline) both provide a more consistent positive mood lift and less alien/crazy/confusing trip which can also be good for people who are afraid like my mom.

Mushrooms to me, while often times incredibly euphoric and sublime even are much more of a rollercoaster ride. They bring up all sorts of feelings without a bias towards the good. I love the wild mushroom roller coaster but I think beginners often feel more comfortable with something a little easier to control, like LSD or mescaline.

It all depends on you. Some people lean toward shrooms more than L and visa versa. So id say either one your able to obtain and open to trying should you do first :wink:

I think LSD is a little more forgiving for new users. Shrooms are unpredictable and some people just aren't prepared or strong enough to face their demons.

I did shrooms my first time and I think it was better for me. The LSD comedown can be brutal and very taxing on the mind even if you're experienced, not to mention LSD has a much more intense feel to it for me personally. Shrooms feel like a complete disconnection from reality, while LSD is the exact opposite. To me being disconnected was easier than being overly connected.

Also Shrooms give a lot more euphoria for me, there are times where I just break out in uncontrollable laughter for no apparent reason. I may feel bliss and satisfaction on LSD, but I rarely laugh my ass off and walk around with a shit eating grin on my face for hours at a time.

shrooms give me a way better body high than LSD. LSD feels to me like a chemical that effects my mind, but not so much my body whereas shrooms effect my whole being.

Its hard to say really. I would lean towards mushrooms due to the duration and how LSD can be alittle too frantic if you're not ready for it. Also the fact that its a natural substance from the earth may put the first timers mind at ease alittle bit instead of taking a tab of what was told to them being
LSD.

My first time was LSD. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon with my two best friends (roomates). BEST DAY OF MY LIFE EVER. I highly doubt it will be topped. It was a spur of the moment decision so I hadnt given it any thought nor made any expectations in my head. I really enjoyed the come down as well. The whole trip was pure bliss.

Id imagine the dose was lower than 100ug because I tried 125ug a few weeks later and it was too intense for me.
