Also there's no point in saying LSD is more intense at "equal doses". There's really no point in saying that at all when psilocybin tends to be the more intense mind altering drug at the end of the day anyways. Just because LSD is active in micrograms doesn't mean much.

Shrooms have given me the most intense of the trips. A very profound moment in one of my shroom trips was feeling every conceivable emotion at once and then tears pouring from my eyes. Tears of joy, sadness and everything else. IT was real intense.
I had a similar experience crying on shrooms with my gf a few weeks before I was going to have to move and we would break up as a result it was deep weep full of the most innately human emotion i've ever experienced
I also cry on DXM tho, and don't find it particularly profound
I find mescalin is the perfect in thing in between shrooms and acid Shrooms are such a powerful tool, sad its been almost 2 years since i've taken them

I found the part of my post you quoted to be deeply therapeutic the coming months after. Shrooms are a natural anti-depressant.

I've always felt awkward on lsd. The trip obviously lasts a lot longer than mushrooms, but mushrooms to me feel much more cleaner. I like lsd, don't get me wrong. But I like mushrooms a lot more. I think 3.5 will be perfect for you. Take some headphones so you can listen to music if you want. I love house music when I'm tripping. Mark Farina is great.
I think the body high is much more enjoyable on mushrooms, and I don't get the same audio distortions that come with acid.
Acid is fantastic I've tried it about 8 times myself with 3 hits being the minimum to 4 or 5 the max. I have taken mushrooms 4 or 5 times and only tripped one time of off 3.5 gs but the trip was light, .. weak generics maybe . That day was the best day of my life hands down I felt like a kid again looking up into the cosmos.... mushrooms are better

LSD: Unlocking the capabilities of the conscious mind(Good for recreation) DMT: Unlocking the spirit world(Good for self, soul, ego dissolving)
Both are very different, LSD is fast paced, intensity, stimulating. Hyper realistic.
DMT compounds are spiritual, mystical, connecting, revitalizing. Nurturing. The essence of Nature

For me mushrooms are like an old and very trusted friend. LSD is like an aquaintance that I don't trust but can be fun to be around.
I have never been weirded out for days after taking mushrooms (I'm always left with a warm comfortable spiritual kind of feeling).
I have been weirded out for days after taking LSD. (It has left me feeling like something is missing from me)
I haven't done LSD many times because it seems hard to find where I live, and it was when I was in my younger days that I took it a few times. I have done mushrooms pretty much every year, and sometimes quite a few times in a year. The mushrooms never seem to have negative aspects and always feel natural, although they can take me well outside of my comfort zone. I trust mushrooms, but I don't trust LSD (I'd still do LSD most probably if I got the chance to get some blotters as long as it was LSD and not some random psychedelic).

So the trip was light but it was one of the best days of your life? How's that?
Literally feeling like a kid again doesn't sound light. Could it have been more powerful than you realize? I find with mushrooms people will go way out of their minds but they don't realize it because they've forgotten what normal waking consciousness (being sober) is like. Or they'll simply just forget what the trip was like when they come back down.
This might be why some claim LSD to be "more intense" than mushrooms.

Every time I read a post on this topic saying "mushrooms are spirutal/healing and LSD is for fun", I initially agree completely. However, I just can't help but remember all the epiphanies I've had, conclusions I've come to, thought processes that could not possibly be described within the limits of human language, and of course the tears of joy I have shed listening to music all under the influence of LSD.
Shrooms for me allow a disconnection from reality, it isn't just an altered version of it, rather it is an entirely different existence. You become very confused as nothing you perceive makes sense to you anymore, and it takes all you have just to remember your own name to stay grounded.You will see life from the outside in, without the fog of your ego clouding your vision. You may be pleased, angered, or even disgusted by what you find.
LSD is difficult for me to describe as far as my mentality. Physically, the blood running throughout your body suddenly becomes lava and your skin is incredibly sensitive. Your senses sometimes become interchangeable, meaning having experiences such as hearing colors, feeling or seeing sounds, tasting sights etc. My personal favorite is feeling music of course. On LSD, you see life from a brutally honest perspective, and if you try to lie to yourself/reject the teachings then you will run into problems. Additionally on LSD, I feel very connected with other people to the point that I can see things from their perspective to a degree I don't think most people can(I like to think anyway).
I hope I did an alright job explaining, I didn't really get into visuals but those are overrated :P

Lsd is like the epiphany bit of mushrooms without the crazy dark bit. It's like just behind your forehead it's trying to cave issues to their source. I always find my mind reducing everything down to its root problem and then building the layers back up and finding other layers that fit as solutions. I completely saw how it would have been useful in the govt experiments they gave scientists LSD in a think tank with problems they couldn't solve.

I want to cry on LSD - crying on psychs feels freeing, i need to cry more sober i feel it makes me more introspective in an intellectual sense but dosen't really get at my emotions the same way that mushrooms/mescalin does
could be that i've never taken acid in the company of super close friends tho, and I have with mushrooms/mescalin

I don't think I've ever really CRIED on LSD(maybe during the comedown). What I meant was the music filling me with so much emotion, most of it being completely and utter bliss just drove me to tears.
Shrooms however...I've had some pretty liberating sobs on shrooms. A few trips ago I was going through a pretty tough time in my life, my self esteem took a hit around the same time classes were starting again and I felt very lost/disappointed in myself. I dosed around 5 Gs in a tea, as it started to come on I hopped in my bed and wrapped myself in covers so I could freely explore my mind. This is my current favorite thing to do during the come up to keep myself calm.
Anyway, I had been laying down for about 10 minutes when it was starting to kick. My mind started randomly drifting to some of my most intense memories, both good and bad. I went through so many moments, and remembered exactly how I felt during each of them. I legitimately didn't even notice it at first, but at some point during this my eyes just started to tear...I was becoming so emotional. Just so many feelings, so much nostalgia, so much regret all at once.
All of a sudden I just started bawling into my pillow, that was the first time I had cried in months, maybe a year or so. I admitted to myself how terrified I was during the event I previously mentioned and how it impacted my self esteem. Then came the next thought that brought on another wave of tears, "I've come so far". Thinking back to my difficult childhood, experiences I had with people throughout my life, friends that have come and gone, family members that are no longer with me.
I came to one single conclusion from all of this, I whimpered aloud when it came to my mind. "I loved you all, thank you for all you have taught me. I promise that I will NEVER forget any of you."
After that I blew my nose and calmed down a bit...then I realized how fucked up I was and went outside to converse with the trees in my backyard 
After that day I made so many adjustments to my life and I have genuinely been in a better place ever since. I've been making more efforts to interact with people and not to see them from such a pessimistic point of view(they certainly don't make that easy). I've been trying harder in my classes and I feel like I can tackle the challenges of day to day life. That sob was so cathartic for me, it just isn't healthy to have all that built up negative emotion and I think the shrooms realized that.

I generally agree with the sentiment that LSD is more forgiving, recreational, and manageable, as compared to shrooms which are more cerebral, spiritual, and confusing.
I find little recreational value in any shroom dose over 2.5g. Not to say that I can't have fun, but its a different kind of fun as compared to LSD where I can basically run around town all night
Having said that, at around 300ug L becomes much deeper and more spiritual in my experience
