    Hey, Ive done shrooms a few times before, but never acid. Are the effects similar? Is there still massive ego death?

    You can have the same kinds of trips from the 2, but the overall difference IMO is that mushrooms give you a dreamy sort of trip, whereas LSD tends to give you a very clear distinct mental trip. Here's an analogy: Think mushrooms, think ancient aztecs, nature gods, mystical ancient fungus...think LSD, think the cosmos, complex mathematical formulas and physics. Sorry if that makes no sense, but that's the best way I can describe it.

    LSD is much more detailed. clouds turn into distinct objects or memories whereas on shrooms clouds tend to form geometric patterns. example: on acid you might look at a cloud and it would turn into a full-detail dragon flying through the sky. example: on shrooms you might look at a cloud and it would become part of a larger whole or a kaleidoscopic pattern. anything at long distances (or even close up) is very trippy with acid because of the "details" and your mind recreates the things you see but cannot see well enough to define. also, shrooms feel more loopy and natural and the visuals tend to have blooming effects. acid is more swirly, energetic, and buzzing and the visuals tend to have fractal-like qualities.

    it's hard to describe. yes, the effects are similar, but oh so different at the same time. If you like and can handle shrooms, drop a hit or two of some lucy.

    some people say you can't have bad trips on shrooms but you can on acid but that is false. they both amplify your emotional state and can both put you in thought loops. acid, however, is much more realistic as it is very detailed and the visuals can be extremely intense and gratuitously vivid. because of this, i think acid can be more overwhelming to the mind which can, of course, contribute to a bad trip.

    i take acid more as a partry drug and shrooms as more of a sacrament that i learn from. ive taken high doses of both, and IMO mushrooms definitly have a more cosmic traveler feel, i get the impression that its a holder of knowledge or something, whereas high doses of acid tend to give me geometric patterns and shadow-like forms, and mostly personalized reflections and interogations of myself. as for which is easier to have a bad trip, i would say shrooms becuase i get the feeling that the mushrooms spirit only lets people into its own world after they have shed their ego, so i find that with my mushrooms trips, as long as i am holding onto my identity and opinions, i am engaged in brutal self analization, and when i let go i am catapulted into a world of never before seen imagination, whereas with acid its like when i take it i have a god time and kinda clean up my act, become more aware of my behaviors and actions and feelings toward other people and the world in general. but then again, i have been told by many that i take psychedelics too seriously. unfortunatly, its hard to turn back after what i have experienced.

    Acid is illusionary and 'shrooms are visionary.

    I've only done mushrooms around 10 or 15 times in comparisson I must have tripped on acid hundreds of times. I've never done mushrooms when I haven't already been tripping on acid. The mushrooms definately add a change of direction to a trip.

    personally, i would do shrooms first, just because i feel like i can control myself a lot better/more on shrooms... and the trip doesnt last as long as acid... but PLEASE before you trip, research, research, RESEARCH!! read some stuff on timothy leary, and go to www.eworid.com! also, have a babysitter! be careful, and have fun!

    Ive done acid a few times and shrooms once.. To tell you the truth i didnt enjoy shrooms that much because my senses were just so overloaded and i didnt know what to make of it.. On the otherhand, the first time i did acid was the greatest night of my life.. me and my 2 friends (1 had done acid b4 the other one hadnt) took a few hits at about 10 oclock at night (they must of been super poweful)we stayed up all night.. ( i had to work the next morning, and i ended up calling in sick). I remember that night very crisp and clear... at one point we took a knife from the kitchen and started to stab my friend's indoor tree several times.. i cant describe how good that felt lol... we also had about a half an hour discussion on world politics and how we thought communism works much more effectively then democracy.. we felt hungryn so we made Kraft Dinner, but once we had it ready to eat we all realized that we werent hungry at all, so we grabbed the bowls and ran out side into the snow (i live in Canada)with barefeet and thru the macaroni into the woods lol... after that we calmed down and went inside and listend to some music which was fantastic.. if uve never done acid listen to "Tomorrow never knows" by the Beatles, the Beatles recorded that song while on acid, and to anyone who wants to know what acids like listen to that song cuz its a perfect example of the experience... Anyways someone else in this forum said that shrooms are more artsy and natural whereas acid is ... electrostatically charged if you will??? i agree with this totally. That one night on acid changed my entire view of the universe and ill never forget it.
