I think you'll like acid, if you can handle the worst that shrooms can throw at you, you definitly can hadnle acid... last a long time though, you probably won't be sleeping that night, that's alright though

It's my opinion that the differences in shrooms and LSD are different in each person. For me, I could eat acid all day long, hit after hit and not ever get as confused mentally or blown away as a 7 gram mushroom dose will do me.
Others claim the opposite. Also with mushrooms I get much less visuals than I do on a high dose of LSD. My differences may be because I have taken way more LSD than mushrooms. Also, I get different types of visuals depending on the substance I'm using.
LSD seems to have more defined visuals for me, brighter colors as well. Mushrooms on the other hand has more of a circular, non-straight-edged, visuals than the LSD, and colors are more of a softer Autumn-ish colors. (Like the trees get in fall when they are changing color, orange, red, yellow).
Other than that, if I take a 4g dose of mushrooms, the mental creativity and feelings are basically the same to me as a 200 ug dose of LSD (4 hits on average).
Hope this helps, - Silven

I've only taken acid 3 x and each time from the same batch (Mr Men) I found that acid is not as beautiful as shrooms. The visuals are harsh rather than flowing. Became more mentally confused on acid, bad stomach cramps later on in the trip. I was really dissapointed with my acid trips, not what I had been led to believe they would be like from my reading material. However, maybe the acid I had was poor quality or something. I live in the u.k, and have found it difficult to get hold of acid. I would be keen to try again, if I could get hold of a batch. Anyone know of quality acid (Which prints) circulating the notts/derby area?? Anyway, I find mushrooms very magical, my experience of acid came no where close.

Acid to me is the nectar of the gods. I would eat that shit all day. the visuals are much crisper and more well defined for me than mushies. But mushies are still my fave, mainly due to there ease of aquisition. Acid is quite hard to find right now.

That's odd, for me it's the opposite, I find LSD to be much more beautiful, bright and flowing. The differences are really hard to describe, but I find acid to be much better, and much cleaner. To me, all psychedelics seem to do the same thing, but at different levels of conciousness, acid is the highet level of conciousness I have ever experienced and i've dosed on many, many things. Acid makes me feel electric, I feel all the energy flowing around and in me. It makes me feel like an angel. I guess it all depends on what crystal is used, silver is really nice, and the white fluff is absolutely divine. Hopefully someday you get some fluff, that should give you a better experience. Oh, Silven, what type of hits have you been getting? All the good doses I have done have had 100-150 ugs per hit...i've had some seriously shitty ones with 15-20 though.

acid definetly keeps me away for a long time. However, I find that on acid I usually have major mind fuck. Whereas on shrooms everything flows smoothly and is visual with a little mind fuck. Both are equally enjoyable...

Really? i find exactly the opposite from you in most things you've said. For me the stuff is basically a flow. A LOT less confusing than mushrooms. Crystal clear trip. Visuals sometimes can be a bit imposing but it's easy to get used to them.
U sure you taken acid? I never ever got any nausea or stomach cramps or body load from it. Shrooms upset my body quite a lot more. LSD is definitely the 'cleanest' oral psychedelic i ever tried.

For me each acid trip and each shroom trip are like completly different substances, let alone trying to compare the two. I can eat shrooms one day and laugh for hours, and eat the same ones a month later and get my ass kicked by some deep philosophical shit, you never know. Acid is great though, I've had my favorite trip on acid, but my close second favorite on mushrooms. So I'm up in the air as to which I like more.

They are really very similar except in how fast it takes to peak and in total duration. Most of us feel they each have their own distinctive characters though. For me, psilocybin feels like it has a spirit inside it that guides the tripper. LSD feels more abstract and devoid of personality (though not devoid of power!). Psilocybin takes 1 1/2 hours or so to peak for me and I'm down within 6-7 hours at most. LSD takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours to peak and it's generally 12 hours before I can sleep.
But each has very similar capacity to unlock our hearts and minds....
(or to confuse and terrify us....)

Shrooms are much more of a body trip. One will get much more sensory enhancement, generaly a soft , full feeling. They seem to really have a natural feeling to them. LSD is an out of body experience that pretty much brings you down to a pair of eyeballs over in the left corner of the room, looking back at yourself sitting in the other corner looking at you, or your eyeballs that is.... anyway much harder feeling, like being right on the edge, as stated above- electric. The peak seems to be a doorway, the following 6+ hours is perfect blissfullness.

I dunno I get a lot clearer visuals on a pyschedelic shroom trip then on an acid one. I can leave my body a lot easier on acid because I'm so fucked up all I wanna do is lay there and then my body goes numb and I'm on a roller coaster. Shrooms are more of a voice in my head telling me to lay dow nand when I do it I'm gently lifted from my body and "shown" things unlike acid where I seem to be the one controlling what I'm seeing. Like the acid visuals seem like its coming from my brain. The shrooms feel like the shrooms are a part of me and have to show me something.

I'd be curious to know whether some of the differences people report are purely based on expectation--maybe when you eat shrooms, you feel that they're more natural, and so your brain guides you to a more natural-feeling trip.
But I don't really speak from experience Wonder what y'all think.

Most studies done in the old days (when research was legal) showed that most people could not tell the difference between psilocybin and LSD except through onset and duration....

exactly ! With acid even in level 4 (if that means something !) i could choose the direction of the trip but with mushrooms it is like being taken by the hand by a powerful god..."you ! Go there ! Watch this ! Learn this ! "

Yeah, I've read the same things. I'm curious whether the discrepancy is because the subjects back then weren't experienced psychonauts or because people here know what they're ingesting and it colors their journey.

I'll still stand by no trip is alike except that familiar feelign of coming home to something, past that things go where they go.

I don't know how LSD effects everyone else (obviously) but I do know that from what I've experienced you can guide your trip. Also the visuals and enlightenment really seem to stem from the person themselves and their imagination alot more than shrooms do. I guess it does go back to that guiding spirit like mentioned above. However I've never had any kind of confusion or the feeling like Im "out of control" on acid like I think someone said earlier. But with everyone any drug effects different people in astronomically different ways. For some people alcohol releases the same chemicals as heroin, and with every other drug it really varies from person to person.
