Shrooms vs Acid

So I never tripped before, but I have experience with cannabis and molly. So I'm very interested in trying LSD and shrooms but not sure which to try first. I first became interested in LSD when I heard that artists have had life changing experiences while drawing on acid and I'm an artist myself so that sounded pretty tight. So yeah basically I'm pretty spiritual and I'm in an art rut so i want to learn if lsd or shrooms could help me out. I heard that shrooms tend to make you more sluggish than lsd and less likely to be able to function on a similar dose and that's what kinda turns me off from shrooms, but at the same time I always kinda assumed shrooms were easier to handle and therefore a better choice for first timers. Are shrooms easier to handle or is that just exaggerated bullshit? Would you rather draw on lsd or shrooms? If anyone puts in their opinion I'd much appreciate it. Peace and have a dope day.
P.S. I'm posting a full report after the trip and we'll see wtf I end up drawing during my experience.

Try both, it doesn't really matter which you try first. Shrooms are easier to handle in that they dont last as long, other than that its subjective. Some people will find shrooms easier, other people will find LSD easier.

Im in the same boat brother. So what I did was start a mush grow and order some 1P-LSD. I figured the only way to really know is to try them. Trip report coming soon.

I actually think shrooms floor you harder than acid. But that depends on how much acid you do!
A high dose of acid can twist your world in unimaginable ways and it lasts a long time as already mentioned so dose carefully.
Shrooms tend to affect everything, even my hearing whereas acid doesn't. Shrooms only last a few hours though, but are very deeply spiritual. I feel acid lacks the spiritual side that shrooms offer.
Most people see LSD as the stronger of the two and tend to do shrooms first. Including myself.
-------------------- My Psychedelic experiences: LSD - 30+ times (2 hits min / max 3 hits) every time. Shrooms - 4 times (2.5 - 3.5g) DMT - 5 times (Powerful breakthrough only once) Life can be one hell of a bitter pill to swallow so I chose acid instead -YeOlde

The strain of shroom plays such a big part in this. Its hard to compare the two but 3.5 g of cubs or 2.5 to 3 g of libs will put you in a very nice place. Its still hard to determine the effects you will have upon dosage since the potency of each mushroom could vary greatly. Tho if I was to compare id say out of my experience 3.5 - 4 gs of liberty caps is ROUGHLY equal to 400 ug LSD. Thats a very loose/rough estimate because it could be different for so many people.

That's not exaggerated bullshit that's just a complete lie. Shrooms can be one of the hardest most unforgiving psychedelics one can take and LSD is clearly easier to handle.
Overall I'd say LSD is better for beginners but at the end of the day they're both great for beginners. The one to try first should depend most;y on what you want to get out of the experience and what kind of effects you want. Since art seems to be your thing I'd say go for LSD, if you were looking for something more enlightening and more of a learning experience I would say go for mushrooms definitely.
Just compare the subjective effects of each and decide which one would be better for your first. https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/LSD

LSD can be very enlightening I find as well but in a very different way. Shrooms have more depth to them where they will have more of a focal point to the trip unlike LSD where you are more just "there" watching everything change around you. Mushrooms will take you inside most of the time (in my experiences) and it can bring on a much more meaningful experience. To me shrooms are the thinker and lsd is the action.

Yes LSD can be enlightening but enlightenment is knowledge and the question of knowledge is something that the mushroom deals with directly. It seems to already have set lessons built into the experience and one of the lessons is on knowledge. It shows you what enlightenment is and how it's really just knowing how much you don't know.

I get that from LSD too.. There is still that sense of wonder. Once you get up to the 500ug mark with LSD it gets VERY personal almost like mushrooms. The vast introspection on high dose LSD can be stronger than mushrooms in a lot of ways (this is just my experience with the two)

Well LSD was always more introspective and personal for me and mushrooms were much more about exploring and seeing new amazing and captivating things and bringing back knowledge from higher realms, felt more exotic and existential.. In fact mushrooms being less personal is I think one the the reasons it deals more with the question of enlightenment than LSD does because the concept of enlightenment to me isn't a very personal thing. It really has nothing to do with me.
LSD may tell me things about myself personally but mushrooms seem to address humanity as a whole and seem much less pinpointed on me than I or someone else would typically expect. I just always feel mushrooms have bigger and better things to worry about than little old me which is why they feel less personal and seem to deal more with the bigger picture.

it's literally impossible to say. drugs affect people differently. most people i know IRL prefer acid, saying its more fun. myself personally, i've tried acid several times, probably about 6-8 times. never had a hard trip. even when i get it from the most reliable of sources. everyone around me will be tripping hard and i barely feel it. shrooms though, hit me very hard and in many different ways. you never know what to expect with shrooms. the ride will vary greatly depending on the variety AND the strain, as well as your current mental + physical state when you take them (obviously). the only for sure difference between LSD and shrooms is the duration of intoxication. LSD lasts about twice as long. other than that, no one can tell you what to expect.

I started with shrooms because I went to college during the early 21st century acid drought... LSD is my favorite psych now but I am glad I started with a couple of grams of mushrooms. It's ultimately going to come down to the individual.

If that.. It all depends on the person too. I find by hour 8 I'm pretty much finished tripping on LSD but still have the glow. Tho that depends all on dosage and if its in succession with other drugs, I find MDMA can potentiate LSD quite a bit. Shrooms can be a solid 8 hours for me depending on strain/dosage too. Id say LSD is maybe a few hours longer than shrooms like in between 3 and 4 hours maybe... Ive had 16 hour trips but that was from a massive dose of 800+ ug at once.

For me shrooms are ALWAYS 5 or 6 hours usually 6 but have had 8 to 9 hour mushroom experiences with my pupils remaining heavily dilated for up to 10 hours.
LSD is usually 10 to 12 hours for me and on rare occasions will extend to 14 hours. It might be like 10 hours if I only take like 1 hit but for the most part it's 12 and mushrooms are 6.

Its amazing how so many people have such different experiences with these drugs. I wonder if it has to do with how we see reality or the bodies metabolism cause the drug to have different affects on people. Like maybe if someone has a more "open mind" for a lack of better words maybe they will have longer experiences because their minds are more "open" than sya the next individual.

It's not just different people, I've had vastly different experiences with the same substances at different times in my single life. So it only stands to reason if I can such different experiences think how different it can be for a different person.
