Mushroom Effects
Body:
I feel sensations more intensely--grass suddenly very prickly, suddenly I realize I have a jaw, that I have a skull... and yet conversely, I feel as if I'm a being of light. Perceive the space around me and my situation in it in a more complete way. Point to the sky and imagine a beam shooting through the universe. Peaceful and relaxed.
Mind: Moments of spiritual bliss followed by bouts of analytic thought. An innocence about my thinking, a feeling of wonder at things like deep time, the universe, the beauty of a tree. Very zen like, aesthetic.
Emotion: Reverence for nature. Feeling of being home. Natural. Holy. Amazed in a rooted, reverent way. Other times emotionless, sterile.
Visuals:
rounded geometries, which can makeway into full dream sequences. I've flown through a dark space populated by giant women bearing fruit. Not cartoonish--very real, very holy.
LSD Effects:
Body: Restless energy. Juicy/electric. Delicious sometimes, crampy and irksome others. Oscillation, vibration, pulsation.
Mind: Cracking the code, finding the key, waking up, figuring it out, beating the system, rising with the tide. Sometimes calm and collected, other times messianic and manic.
Emotion: Pure, kid-like happiness. Moments of fear, wishing for sleep. Controllable--just have to tailor my head trip to suit my emotional needs (its cold but the sun will rise, so put your mind on the sun).
Visuals: Patterned textures. Repetition and symmetry. Factory-like. Mathematical and synthetic. None of the women bearing fruit.
And the winner:
For pure experience during the trip: mushrooms
For usefulness outside of the trip: LSD

I thought it was relevant to bump this epic thread in regards to platypus' question in the other thread.
I think it's really hard to put one's finger on the difference because both experiences are so dependant on your set and setting and preparation.
I do think that mushrooms are more of a heavy, gravity effected trip.
Acid is more of like an electric feeling to be. Very light and dynamic.

I like to think of acid as more photosynthetic than electric. Of course I've never photosynthesized, but being in the sun while on acid feels so correct to me.
And ever since taking acid in the sun, being in the sun normally feels more nourishing and simply different. Not so much new as simply understanding it more and appreciating it.

I find the main differences with mushrooms head state compared to the acid head state is that mushrooms are very introspective, they can 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. Lsd visuals are mush more angular and almost electric, 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 (i find a 100-300 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, And it varies from trip to trip, this is just the overall feel i get from both of them.

If you like to trip often; then mushrooms are where it's at. Shrooms can combat tolerance with eating more mushrooms. With CID; once you get tolerance; then you must wait at least 4-5 days before tripping again.
But color and visuals are much more intense of CID. In fact, the amount seen trumps shrooms; especially colors and warping.
Personally I don't have a favorite. They both fulfill my psychedelic desires!

They are very similar as far as the similarity between psychedelic drugs go.
But they seem to have their own separate features, albeit that is also not set in stone. Some people seem to experience the features usually associated with mushrooms on LSD and vice versa. But here is what I make out of my own experience and the general vibe I've been getting from people:
LSD: Intellectual Rigid and definite Mechanic Insightful Light
Mushrooms: Emotional (or Spiritual) Fluid Organic Enlightening Dark
Some people, among them myself, believe that mushrooms are more of a load on the physical sensory that it is in contrast to LSD, which is said to be more of a perceptive experience. Personally I find strong hallucinations and visuals easier to attain with mushrooms.
I can't say that they are very different though. They are like drums of different components for the membrane, striking the same note. The note may be the same, but the way the beats sound is different from one another. Either with their own accents and deficiencies.

I said this in another post, it fits this thread though.
"I enjoy thinking of psychedelics effects on us like a tree.
Shrooms give us our root. It lets us understand our true primal being. Keep us intact with what we (as the human race) started as. Washed away of the years and years of conforming to certain things, and being taught certain things. For me, they gave me a whole new spiritual natural outlook. Without which, would make Lucy more difficult for me. I tripped on shrooms first and glad I did, a lot of the lessons it taught me helped me to further understand the "reaching out" feeling LSD gives me.
Lucy is like the branches. She allowed me to reach out, expand and see the infinite in everything. True art has no limits, the only art that is true is the art that is truly expressed. Lucy really helps me see this clearly."
In addition, Lucy is more in your face hallucinations.
As mentioned, shrooms certainly are visual, but much more of an organic patterning and warping.
Lucy will have no mercy, visuals will appear as real as real can be. Many times I really was unsure if I was hallucinating or not. I find Lucy to be more clear headed than Shrooms.
This can be more difficult or easier, depends on the person.
Lucy, yes I feel clear headed, but sometimes that clarity in your head can't process the intense visual and open mindedness that Lucy has.
Where with Shrooms, you can reach completely delirious dream states where "good" and "bad" just seize to exist, you just understand "is-ness"
Everything just IS, why judge it good or bad? It exists, and that in itself is beautiful. Shrooms show me this more than Lucy has.
Lucy can bring me to dream states too, just way different than Shrooms to me.
Lucy is just as profound, I'm not saying it isn't. I believe that Lucy boosted up my confidence, made me happier and understand my own potential.
Shrooms though, the first trips I took were shroom trips. And damn, I loved it instantly. I mean, I was hooked on trips. They tore down my reality and said "LOOK!". Believe me, I loved the trips, but this time in my life of opening myself up to the shroom world brought me to an extremely difficult time in my life. In a great way though.
They showed me the world so differently, that I couldn't socialize. I felt so outcast at work, school, everywhere. I had this whole new outlook, and when I looked around at the average people.
I saw just... lost souls. Ignorance, care over such tiny things. Drama, "this girl did this, this boy did this", I just didn't get it, I didn't care, I felt like there was so much more to life. It's not that I thought I was better, I just felt like they everyone was wasting the gift of life.
Including myself. I couldn't deal with a sober reality anymore, it brought me to a very low point. Everywhere.
My job wanted to fire me because I just couldn't stay calm, I learned about myself from shrooms, and it just became so difficult to see so many people wasting away. I never got fired, I turned over a new leaf there, and am respected as a hard working kid now, I'm glad I got through it, it sucked.
This was a good feeling though, shrooms brought me to my lowest, and rebuilt me as a person. I didn't have bad trips, when I was tripping, I was in bliss. It was coming back to reality that I couldn't take. This was a short stint though, it was the initial reaction to the instant prying open of my third eye. Shook my reality, in about a year, of tripping more and more and understanding it, I learned how to use these lessons to better my own reality, and now I am a better, stronger person.
Lucy has expanded upon the new me, showed me where I have to take this road. To reach for the infinite, learn no limits in what you believe you are capable of.
After several years of tripping, I can't think of much bad they did for me now. Other than maybe fried some brain cells, and my vision is certainly a little more "snow grain" type than it was. I love it though.
They really in many many ways, saved me from myself.

i've tried a variety of mushrooms, tried many different forms of LSD (blotter, gel, liquid, sugar cubes) and every once in a while it seemed to be actual LSD rather than something that would convince you that you've taken a psychedelic drug. the beauty of LSD just stands out. heck, i've tried mushrooms and LSD at the same time. wonderful experience. (thanks Phil )
it seems to me that the differences between experiences vary from person to person, situation to situation and moment to moment.
it seems fool-hardy to suggest that mushrooms = x whereas LSD = y
the potential for variation seems nearly infinite.

i'm just skeptical about lsd these days. too often i find myself waiting 3 hours to come up for an 18 hour trip.
then again, real deal LSD is awesome. no question lol. some of the most profound experiences of my life.
thing is, unless you have access to clean LSD, mushrooms always rule and just about anyone can cultivate a stash for their friends and family.

Eh I think a lot of this "shrooms vs LSD" stuff is in the head. They are surely different but not to the extent of being incomparable like many people try to say. I've had shroom trips that felt more like acid and visa versa. Really all trips are just different and start to blend together after a while. I've watched my dmt trips change nature over the course of time too
Certain things like headfuck, body high, level of visuals may be different but when it comes down to it tripping is tripping IMO
Some of the differences I can notice though are shrooms are more cartoon looking where LSD is more fucked up. Like I'm looking at a bad Picasso. People's faces tend to move like water on acid. Like it just melts around. Acid also has a much more dark feel to it for me. For example when someone smiles on shrooms I get this vibe of "I can't take anything seriously this is great." when they smile at me on acid it's like "haha we fucked the system." like there's some sort of mischief going on but not in a bad way. Also while I find shrooms more fun I find acid more euphoric. The high parts of the trip are fucking

Yes exactly, mushrooms unite us back with the Earth and LSD gets us in contact with our alien brethren.

The thing I see most people doing is saying their shroom trips are just way more intense on lsd. I don't know why, but people take 200 mics of LSD and then compare to taking 3.5 grams or higher of shrooms or something.
TAKE MORE ACID! In comparison people take higher doses of shrooms than they do acid and then they say shrooms are more intense or they get more out of it or whatever when all that really happened is they simply didnt do enough LSD.
For me, I prefer acid because of the length it lasts and the clarity and empowering feelings it gives me. I especially love low dosing. Just taking hits every day! Once you build a slight tolerance it's esspecially nice because you can never really "trip". Instead you just get this awesome high that lasts all day :P Both are awesome.

Which of them can easily lead you to disorientation? Which do you take around the city or natural places where you could also meet known people?
I tried 4g cubensis mushrooms yesterday (my second concrete trip), and this week-end im going to try 100ug LSD(good quality). I care about its lasting, and so return home still during the trip, or meeting known people I should talk to.
What can you say to me? 4g Mushrooms trip was very intense for me, I absolutely couldn't speak with people for 2-3 hours.

for people that need a simple explanation differing between the experience of the two this is how I put it. with mushrooms, you are taking a cosmic journey in which you are a passenger, and with acid you are the pilot.

I used to be a shroomer til I die, but recently ive experienced acid over 20 times trying to compare it to the mushroom experience and this is my findings..
Shrooms- Heavier, alien, inter-galactic, shooting-star like visuals, spiritual
Now with the acid...one thing makes it superior. The green electric grid that takes over as the main hallucination making acid reign king. Nothing can compare to this. I don't know if anyone can relate, but it makes acid "thee psychedelic" IMHO.
