shrooms vs. acid

Just wondering... I havent been able to find a good comparison of the actual mental states of shrooms vs. acid.
I've only done shrooms and I'm wondering if the mental state of acid is harder or easier to deal with, as in, is it harder to get into a bad trip with acid or shrooms? I have one friend that did acid a long time ago and he said it seemed more strictly visual; less of a mindfuck than shrooms.
In your opinion, which one makes you think or dwell on thoughts more?
The only way i get stuck in a bad trip on shrooms is if there's a slight problem i'm thinking about going into it. I keep thinking and thinking until i pretty much want to die (though in reality it this only lasts about 10 minutes). It's not a problem of not being able to handle the experience at all, just a magnification of outside problems.
How does acid fare with this sort of thing?

I find (and i think im with the majority) that acid is way more easy on your melon. Much less akward and not nearly as much confusion. On high doses you may feel more vulnerable to a bad trip, but no more than a high dose of shrooms, and this can all be taken care of with set and setting. Make sure you are prepared for a trip, mentally, and physically. Surround yourself with good vibes. Know your substance and source. I hear of too many times people think their shrooms or acid is poisoning them, or even worse being unsure of what they took altogether, and getting into a bad trip.
acid rules.

sweet. Usually when i do mushrooms I'm so blown away by it that i get all euphoric and whatnot. I figured acid would be a bit crazier on the visuals, which would lead to even more euphoria than shrooms.
As long as the mindfucking doesnt increase from shrooms to acid proportionally with the visuals, i'll be able to handle it i guess.
thanks.

For me, acid is much more clear-headed than ?shrooms. Boomers always leave me fragile and unable-to-deal-with-the-world after ingestion; but, with acid, it?s just more crisp and clear--and there seems to be much less of a body load with acid than there is with mushrooms. The only thing is that I can still ?feel? LSD in my body for days afterwards; but with mushrooms, I?m always fine the next day.
(I hope that?s at least somewhat coherent; I?m trippin? balls.)

Also... you can tell when I'm on 'shrooms because my pupils get SOOO big. But, on acid, my eyes always look normal--yet I'll be tripping my nuts off! Is this just me or have other noticed this as well?

With acid, I feel ?not normal? for about two or three days afterwards. It?s hard to really describe? it?s not a ?bad? or ?negative? feeling; it?s just that I don?t feel like I?m quite myself. Now, with boomers, it?s different; after a night?s sleep, I always feel like normal again.

There is nothing empty or hollow about lsd. how dare you! 
In all honesty I haven't found acid to be any less "spiritual" than mushrooms. One mans trash is anothers tresure though i suppose.

I think it depends on your personality.
Some people take mushrooms and trip like they are on acid.
Some people take acid and trip like they are on mushrooms.
Don't take me totally literally, but its like...some people take shrooms and see the most outrageous totally-not-there shit, which seems to be more of an acid thing from what I hear.
And on the other hand, some people take acid and have this outrageously spiritual experience, which seems to be more of a mushroom thing.
Its all about YOU and what you like better. You just gotta try it, really.

When I've taken acid in the past, my joints (including my jaw) get really achy near the end of the trip. I also have that "not quite right" feeling the days following an acid trip. The little man that sits in my head prefers the "naturalness" of shrooms when compared to the "drugness" of acid. I just don't feel like I've ingested laboratory chemicals after I've eaten shrooms, as I do when I eat LSD.

Acid is mainly visual with a little bit of head-trip, no body high at all for me. Shrooms are less visual but present an intense head-trip and are extremely physical. The intense body-high you get with shrooms is the main difference between the 2 IMO. I have had spiritual experiences with acid, but never as intense as with shrooms. I think that LSD is much easier to handle than shrooms (contrary to popular belief) because its just visuals mixed with a hint of insanity. I feel that acid has a smooth trip overall. Shroom trips are fast paced, rigid, and completely unpredictable (just the way i like it). I prefer shrooms to acid.

What are you talking about? LSD can be very spiritual, and a very "love" filled chemical. Especially if you use it right, if it was so empty and hollow, then why would the dead families dedicated themselves to spreading the love. Read some of chinacat72's post on the subject.
LSD is very beautiful, it's very easy on the head to. Mushrooms can take you places you don't want to go sometimes, LSD is very forgiving. Last a long time though, you'll be able to handle it just fine I think .

neither one of them are necessarily forgiving. i'm not quite sure why some people are saying LSD is easier to handle mentally (in your head). LSD is far more convincing than shrooms are and the acid visuals can be so real that they have a greater potential for becoming frightening, in my experience. you see, LSD fills in all the blanks and paints all the details in your brain.... it's horribly convincing. i love it, but at the same time it can be scarier than shrooms. and the feeling of warmth from acid is wonderful, but the natural smoothness of shrooms feels more peripheral and natural.
as far as spirituality, i definately feel more peaceful and philosophical when i come down from shrooms. after a shroom trip, i feel NORMAL and i feel like all my chakras are open and my vital energy is flowing with love. after an acid trip, i feel an afterglow that is beautiful but i also feel the acid stuck in my head for days, months, years....
i hate to admit it, but i think shrooms are much better on the mind and body. i love them both so much (especially the visuals from potent LSD, my god it's beautiful), but my intuition says to do acid less and less frequently....

I consider both substances as divine gifts, but I am currently partial to LSD.
My powerful experiences with mushrooms usually center on losing my ego, becoming one with everything around me, and very convincingly, destroy my comprehension of linear time so that I feel like I can make this world anything I want.
No wonder the establishment has completely discredited, ignored and criminalized a substance that, rather masterfully, teaches people they possess the power to make and create this world. I feel like I can bring love and peace, stability, reason and even heaven to the Earth, because when time collapses on a mushroom trip, nothing seems impossible anymore. My ego has been gripped by the love, gratitude and awe I feel at the mere prospect of existing, experiencing, loving and understanding. These become my highest perogatives during the trip, and triumph over my ego. I feel that the shroom is very powerful and I must respect it and learn from it.
LSD seems more interactive to me. On LSD I choose what I want to examine in the world, and experience a rush of new perspectives about each facet of existence. I begin to understand how other people hold the beliefs that they do, and in fact, my experiences with LSD helped me to understand asceticism and the Christian notion of our finite experience being inherently flawed so much so that I actually was- and still am somewhat- convinced that these ways of life may actually be the method of escaping the flawed human condition. Acid seems like it allows one to examine identity in a more disassociative manner than shrooms, which may be why some people feel more freaked out off acid. I always end an acid trip deeply disturbed by who I really am, and how my current time-period would be perceived by other time periods. Mushrooms usually leave me more positive and connected with humanity, but it is that randomness and brutally removed feeling I get from acid that makes me feel like I am really thinking about the world in ways few people can ever imagine.
Pragmatically speaking, mushrooms can give people stomach problems, so the come-up on acid is usually a bit more pleasant. However, acid lasts longer; sometimes by the 9th or 10th hour you just want to go to sleep, and are tired of thoughts racing through your head.
Both substances have been invaluable in fostering a personhood that is not afraid of the world anymore. On both substances, I feel confident, inspired and am reassured that I am a "good" person with a divine connection. That connection is experiential only, and it literally brings me to tears.

I love and miss acid, but i found i get way more paranoid and prone to a bad trip on it. However i found that acid trips are more powerful , colorful and the thoughts are a little more wild. Mushroom trips for me have been fairly thoughtful and visual, but not with the fractaly colors, more with the swirling and strange shadows. I have also found that acid trips last longer, sometimes they overstay their welcome, Mushroom trips have been a consistent 4-5 hours meaning i can enjoy them almost any time without screwing up a day. I never have troubles sleeping or feeling funky days after with mushrooms, but I've lost hours of sleep with acid. Both of them have made me feel a little yucky in the belly, but I've never been sick from either. I like being able to control the degrees of the trip with mushrooms, taking how ever many grams needed. I enjoy both alot, and they are different experiences my only advice for you is Use both, now and often!

hmmm, seems a few of you are a bit biased.
I've tripped an equal amount of times and on the various levels of both LSD and shrooms. Personally I find them very similar however acid tends to be less philosophical and more just confused looped thinking. On shrooms I can get a good, existentialist look on life and make logical decesions. It's usually a more peaceful feeling. Acid is definitely a more stimulated experience which is why I tend to get so lost. One major difference I find is during the come-up phase of both substances. On acid I usually become euphoric and excited about what's to come, however on shrooms I feel sick and rather frightened until I reach the plateau and things seem to mellow out. Shrooms also give me a weird electric body-surge from time to time which is a bit unsettling.
But overall I think they both have the same general feeling and I really have no preference.

Shrooms are about earth, wind, trees, nature. Acid is about the galaxy and the beauty of human nature.

I don't agree with that at all. My experiences on acid have taught me a great deal about myself and my surroundings. Shrooms as well, although I find when I take mushrooms I usually end up examining my surroundings and my physical state, rather than having my mind laid out in front of me, picked apart and then reassembled, which LSD does without failure for me.
Both great substances. I have had absolutely mind bending experiences on both of them. However, I feel that LSD has shaped me as a person more so than shrooms (don't get me wrong, I love you psilocybin).
Also, a lot of people prefer shrooms because they are easier coming down than acid, which generally leaves you more scattered afterwards. It can be pretty unpleasant, but I don't consider it neccessarily negative, as the scattered mindset can encourage you to relearn the general concepts of life again, but with the new ideas your acid trip has shown you.
I dunno, I hope that helped in some way. Its all down to personal preferance anyway. Neither is better than the other, and I love both dearly, however my preferance shifts more towards acid.

Semi-off topic, but I just have a quick question. If I buy blotter and I have someone test it for me, and the blotter doesn't taste bitter, comes up in a short time and lasts rougly 12 hours, can I be sure its LSD? I'm going to a show next weekend hoping to get some acid for the first time, so basically is there any chemical that fits on a blotter that can't be distinguished from LSD via basic testing?

I always thought I would never try drugs because i didn't want to take anything that would harm my body, but then I watched Yellow Submarine, the movie with the Beatles. And my god it was amazing and i thought "this would be more amazing if I was on LSD or something". SO i started researching LSD and contrary to what i was taught in school that LSD makes you crazy, I found that it just alters your mind for a while and doesn't harm the brain or anything.
Now, I really am considering trying acid but a friend told me to try shrooms first, because acid was a little extreme, especially since i've never done any other drug.
Is this true? should I try shrooms first? I'd rather do LSD to get the visual experience as you all are saying.

Is this true? should I try shrooms first? I'd rather do LSD to get the visual experience as you all are saying.
Personally, I would even start lower than that, with Marijuana. It may sound silly, but believe me, the first time you smoke it'll be crazier than you think. The first time those cannabinoid receptors get used it is alot more intense then what a stoner feels after months or years of smoking. Make sure you can handle something as simple as this, first.
Personally, I would then take a low dose of shrooms (1 gram - 2 grams) to gauge your response, because its easier to know what your getting with mushrooms as opposed to LSD.
I keep saying "personally" because its different for everyone, I know people who took LSD before they ever smoke marijuana or eaten mushrooms.
Dont underestimate the power of these drugs. I completely underestimated LSD and when I took 2 hits of some decent acid my first time, it sent me spinning ( it was great but way more powerful then I could ever imagine ).

My opinion on the differences between the two substances.
Psilocybin Mushrooms
- Spiritual
- Relaxing/Sedating
- Shorter lasting (4-7 hours)
- Morphing, soft edged, ancient looking, swirling hallucinations
- Deep connection with the earth and spirit.
- Easier comedown
- Possible nausea
LSD
- Creative/Recreational
- Very mentally stimulating
- Longer lasting (10-12 hours)
- Detailed, sharp edged, modern looking, fast moving hallucinations
- Deep connection with music and the arts.
- Harsher comedown (still nothing compared to speed, crack, etc)
- Nausea unlikley
Both drugs have similarities, but they really are very different.

I don't understand the want to drag these two gifts into a popularity contest. Nothing ever comes of it. There's plenty of information about both drugs out there for someone to draw a conclusion of which they would want to try first if they had never done them.
Well said Krackatus.

shrooms r much harder to control by my experience. there are times wen i feel pure horror and im close to insanity. however, for the part that feels scary, theres equal or more time thats completely euphoric. shrooms r much more emotional in my opinion, and they give philosophical and very cynical thoughts sometimes- for example one of my epiphanies was that despite our desperate attempts to make friends and be loved, we live and die alone. at the end of the day ur by urself and ur own conciousness is the only thing relevant to you. another epiphany wus that with war, especially of a nuclear nature, and population increase,and faltering resources, humanity is ultimately screwed, and faster then most think, and the universe will exist without us, with not even a consiousness to remember us. those r depressing and scary thoughts, the kind u dont get from acid. that being said i actually like shrooms better, more intense but more rewarding, and good epiphanies too.

i finally did shrooms yesterday, and its a lot like acid. im not yet a very experienced tripper, but i knew what i was getting into before i started tripping and it wasnt as much of a mind blowing experience because everything that happened is exactly what happens to other people.
acid, from what i know so far, was more spiritual for me. there was much less body high, and for me it was more spiritual and i felt very connected with the earth. shrooms was a little more visual and colors were very exaggerated, ultimately though i just felt very silly and happy.
its much easier recovering from shrooms, its much more sudden and noticeable. when i was coming down from acid it would have been nice to have some weed to help me sleep. i could not sleep at all and i couldnt actually tell when it had worn off. its kinda like an ecstasy recovery where you feel all weird for a couple days after.
i also noticed that the duration was much different, acid trips are way longer than the shroom trips.
thats basically it.

starkes said: Just wondering... I havent been able to find a good comparison of the actual mental states of shrooms vs. acid.
I've only done shrooms and I'm wondering if the mental state of acid is harder or easier to deal with, as in, is it harder to get into a bad trip with acid or shrooms? I have one friend that did acid a long time ago and he said it seemed more strictly visual; less of a mindfuck than shrooms.
In your opinion, which one makes you think or dwell on thoughts more?
The only way i get stuck in a bad trip on shrooms is if there's a slight problem i'm thinking about going into it. I keep thinking and thinking until i pretty much want to die (though in reality it this only lasts about 10 minutes). It's not a problem of not being able to handle the experience at all, just a magnification of outside problems.
How does acid fare with this sort of thing?
A friend of mine told me something before I did LSD for the first time. He said 'Mushrooms take you for a ride, acid puts you in the drivers seat.' I find that statement to be very true.

I've heard this more than once. I'd have to agree with it as well, seems like LSD is a more "interactive" trip while shrooms are a more "introspective" trip.

I agree with everything this guy has to say except the comedown. Comedown on shrooms is worse then acid for me (only tried low doses).
overall I'd rate: Shrooms: 7 out of 10 LSD: 12 out of 10 (YES IT IS THAT FUCKIN GOOD )

Smoke weed first. It's just a good place to start, and it lets you experience a "dream like" state and be able to control it. Practice with cannabis a lot, trust me. It helps you prepare and know what to expect (or amaze you and be completely different than what you did normally expect).
Shrooms are a good place to start though, not acid, that's rather intense for a first time user.

Like I said though just ask around, it might take some time but I'm sure Lucy will come your way dude. 
And there's always shrooms if you cant find Lucy... But for some reason shrooms are harder to come across than acid around here.

Oh no, don't ask them at the club 
You have to meet them outside of their place of work to buy highly illegal psychedelics from them that should be obvious
I'm just saying you have to be more social with the right people in the right places.

acid for me is strictly visual the only time i get feelings of euphoria is on low doses like 1 tab wheres its just like getting high not tripping but thats no fun. this is a very cool and interesting drug never had a bad trip On shrooms though i just feel amazing like im 4 years old again and everything is new and amazing and im full of energy. i dont understand how people have bad trips from shrooms cause i always feel like a fucking god when i take them. then again i only eat 3.5-4.5 grams at a time.

I find the main differences with mushrooms head state compared to the acid head state is that mushrooms are very introspective, can they show u your own subconscious and makes u look inwards for answers. I think this is why some people have bad trips off shrooms, because it shows them things about themselves they don't want to know, or things they've done/experienced in there past. if you have bad karma don't do shrooms (or do, you never know they might sort you out) I find the things they can show you to be hugely beneficial. The mind state Acid i find does the opposite, it opens you up, so that everything in your environment effects you, if your somewhere you feel awkward acid will open you up to this (maybe lead to a bad trip), if you feel comfortable you feel more that way . On acid, you can sense bad intentions in a room, or the change of a song will effect you profoundly. Acid gives you insights on the outside world. Visually shrooms are much more organic fluid style,kind of like being in a underwater cartoon world with far more intense wavey colours and textures (if you eat enough). Lsd visuals are mush more angular and almost electric, think regimented patterns wave and swirl out of every texture, with each texture creating it's own pattern. Shrooms make you feel warm, nice and chilled. Acid has quite a speedy feel to it, you mind is working quite fast.I personally prefer shrooms (a good ol dose of 100+ liberty caps does the trick), I find the mushroom spirit much gentler, older and wiser, I find the insights and head state incredibly deep and beneficial and can really improve you as a person, love the visuals, and love the way they make u feel. And Prefer the way you minds not working overtime. Of course, I absolutely love the both of them.

Welcome mushroom tripper you brought up a pretty old thread but might aswell say my opinion: Think of it like a clock, mushrooms are analog LSD is digital.
