Acid vs. Shrooms, Visuals.

Im going to try LSD for the first time in a few days, just one tab (all i could afford, plus first timer). I've tripped on shrooms several times, first 2gs, then 3gs the rest of the times. For me, I get kinda lost with shrooms. My mind will go in loops and I randomly think im sober, when im not, then realize im tripping, over and over. The visuals are just breathing, moving, or "floating" surfaces.

Now, my question is, how differant is LSD? I've done the research I just wanna here it from people who have done it. Are the visuals the same kind of thing?Or totally differant? How intense are they vs. 2 or 3gs of shrooms? Do you get as "lost" like on shrooms? I know it varies person to person just any info is nice.

Just out of curiosity, how much was that tab that you could only afford one? Or are you ten years old?:eyesmoke:

I found with shrooms I got lost more-- loading a bowl would take 30 min bc I kept getting side tracked. I think visually LSD is more vibrant with colors, and didn't carry the same mental observation that shrooms left me with. IMO anyway, but to each his own. Either way it's a good time. Have fun bud, cheers.

lsd will always be my 3rd favorite psychedelic chemical, only under dmt and mescaline. far more intense then fungi in my opinion. and less of a load on your stomach. enjoy yourself and good luck.

If it is truly LSD the visuals will be more clarifying if that makes sense. Mushrooms tends to warp and mutate things, where acid in low dosages redefines objects and colors... you'll experience a wave of color known as tracers!

Its true about the shrooms mutating thing. The first time I tripped I was in a bathroom when it started (Damn nausea). There were two plastic frogs in the room (one a kids toilet thing and one a bucket), I remember stareing at them for so long, not even noticing that they were a toilet and bucket. And the "designs" on the carpet danced and swirled. Went in there a few days later and the room was completely differant than I remembered. No designs on the carpet at all. Just a white carpet. And the frogs were unrecognizable almost.

Although when i've gone outside on shrooms it did make the blues and greens really intanse (strong sativa does the same thing for me), so I get what you mean by "clarifying" everything. Aren't tracers like colors behind movement or something?

Acid is just more real. Shrooms is kind of a mind-fuck. While on shrooms, you can't do much more than stare at walls and say "wooah". You can talk and function on acid, but it's definitely more visual. Shroom visuals are hard to describe, but I'll do my best and compare the two. I've taken shrooms lots of times, and they don't trip me out too bad now. Shrooms to me has more of a cloudy-mind type feeling than acid. Acid is like being struck with deep understanding of everything all at one time! It's great! When I did shrooms last time, I ate 3.5 grams of cubensis and drove while listening to MGMT. Not the best idea, but totally blew my mind away, it was almost too much. Last time I did acid, I was at a college campus just walking around at night, and ended up laying in the grass with my friend watching the stars change colors and just dance around the sky! It was very intense. You have to do them both to really understand though!

I agree. Shrooms fuck my brain, thats the only thing I don't like. I don't have time to truely enjoy visuals cause when im tripping I think its pretty normal. So with acid can you appreciate the visual effects more?

It took me time to appreciate shrooms and really trip hard on them. Most people can't relax on shrooms, so they can't take in the true effect. You just need to tell yourself to relax, like literally say the words in your head, "I need to relax, this is a spiritual experience, I did this because I wanted to and I am going to relax." That's what worked for me. If throughout your whole shroom trip you can relax, try to enjoy the experience, and realize that you took the shrooms because you wanted to trip (not to freak out or get paranoid), you will have a whole new experience with mushrooms, I promise. I think everybody should take shrooms at least once, because everyone needs to learn to relax. Shrooms are somewhat like a near death experience (scientifically), and people that can't deal with that kind of thing can't enjoy shrooms (and that's why everyone should do them). It's definitely a humbling experience.

With acid, yes, you can appreciate the visuals a lot more, mostly because the visuals are more intense. Like I said, shrooms has a sort of cloudy-brained feeling to it. Acid is not like that at all. It's like you all of a sudden were given all the knowledge of the entire world and it can leave you awestruck! More colors change, more things move, and it is possible to actually see things that aren't there (although I never have really hallucinated that hard on acid). When me and my friend did acid last time, we just were laying on the ground in the middle of a college campus at night in the grass watching the stars for hours, it probably looked totally gay if anyone saw us haha. We were just tripping balls though and it was awesome. You feel really sensitive emotionally on acid as well, like you just want to tell everyone everything.

These are my experiences with both drugs.

I know what you mean. When I trip its completely different when Im inside or outside. When Im inside I just get wierd visual distortions and I tend to think and be locked in my mind a lot more. When I'm ouside its kinda what I would expect LSD to be like. I feel open, the blue sky and green plants are so incredaby vivid. Pure peace, or for the budhists, Pure nirvana. I just wanna walk around and look at the beauty of nature. I deffinatly perfer this to being stuck inside.

The last time I tripped on shrooms was the 5th of July, so everyone was still shooting of fire works. I went outside at night with my friends (who werent tripping) and saw some wonderful fire works lol To this day it was one of the most mind blowing experiances of my life. But I always wanted to try LSD cause it sounds like something I would enjoy more. Shrooms always suck for me to eat cause I have a weak stomach, and I would prefer a clearer trip.

Lol, I've seen some fucking amazing shit on LSD...
Full fledged alien ships attacking earth (I was hiding in the porta-potty wit hmy wife guarding the door)
Mountains totaly changeing shape.
Little round clouds forming a vortex shaped spiral, miles accross
The ocean inverting colours to change into electric blue asfar as the eye can see.
Streets breaking up and the houses drifting apart with bright orange magma streaming below and between.
12 foot tall dogs dragging their owners down the street.
lists goes on and on and on...

Acid is alot of things to me, spirritual is not one of those, but its a highly recommended substance for learning about ourselves and our failings.

Hey, not trying to jack the thread but how do acid/shrooms compare to the DMT experience? I've messed with DMT several times, and it was an amazing experience, can not wait til i get the chance to go back there again.lol But im iffy with acid, knowing its much longer of a trip than DMT. DMT was intense, but loved every second of it, the 12 hours trip with acid may just be alittle too long for me and make me crazy. lol wat are your guys opinions on it?? seem to know alott of what your talking about
