I took shrooms for the first time recently but I was by myself I taken acid ten to fifteen times and never went on an deep emotional trip but I was not by myself are shrooms more emotional or was it because I was by myself
yeah shrooms are alot more personal... i've OD'd on both acid and shrooms.. acid was alot more disassociative imo... i felt like i was everything, i was experiencing completely unfiltered reality and it was just this big fractal and thats all i was was a fractal... but with shrooms i was always atleast a point of observation like i was mostly independant from my surroundings.. i dunno if i made any sense
well jack straw if there was still an observer you were just tripping less probably. Both drugs will make ya dissapear, only a matter of dose. But shrooms are tricky at least for me , acid just tries to crush my ego after the point, tells me where to go , but shrooms is like splitting of ego, like in 8 parts and stuff, doesnt tell me where to go. Its like two wheel bike when acid is four wheel. And tk1, I suppose it must have been because you were alone. Was it a good one??? When alone i guess is also easier to have deep positive or deep negative ones.
I'm certain it was because you were by yourself - both are very capable of producing extremely emotional experiences.
i most certainly did, i was incapacitated when i would've perfered to be able walk around and enjoy myself, due to consuming a larger amount of substance than i could handle. overdoses dont always mean death or poisoning
Taking three extra strength tylenol is an overdose. But, I'd say that both shrooms and LSD are emotional, but it is set and setting dependant.
from exp. i can say shrooms are very emotional. they were very emotional for me in the sense that they made me appreciate the beauty in so many things.hah, but then everything was beautiful. shrooms have forever changed and opened my eyes to all the beauty in this world.music/writing to break the iceburg. when day to day it can seem so distant. happy tripping
I can say human mind is very emotional, i mean thats all there is, emotion. The ones you create and the ones who are waiting for you ;p
grapefruity is exactly right! its not the shrooms that make u emotional, its the EMOTIONS that make u emotional, i believe that when u percieve and what u see and hear which is altered on shrooms or L effects you emotions, in good or bad ways, which make u trip good or bad.
I disagree, I'm not usually a very emotional person, but there were a few times I tripped shrooms alone and got REALLY emotional. Tripped acid a few times alone and had no trouble with that, actually had very cool experiences. Exactly, except they are going to affect you in different ways, mushrooms tending to precipitate a much more volatile emotional experience.
How I see it is that mushrooms make it easier to altern between truckin north or south (haha know what I mean? south is the way), Might also be because what was north in those recent trips, wasnt such a black hole. A way faster car to the *real* emotion, when I gave up on the self generated ones (anger sadness etc or just apparent neutrality). The real emotion, is the one that will come from knowledge, beauty, understanding etc, which end up all in the same place, pure euphoria or whatever you call it. Does it really fast for me, like id be fiending on real bad emotion and then I say NO as mantra, few seconds later the flow (or car) turns around and it is like being bombarded by knowledge. LSD is like slug for me if I want to get back on track, keeps me swimming in my own shit, my own emotions...Might be because north at that time was , a black hole. Might just be about mindset as im tryin to plug with my north things... Neuronaut im sure you can put a finger on sometn haha you good at that.
If you want to use your car analogy, in terms of emotional in/stability, shrooms are like a viper while LSD is like a truck. Shrooms take you all over, very fast, you can turn around fairly easily, slow down but if you try to hit the breaks too hard at 190 you're gonna spin out, try and correct and you'll end up in a ditch. With LSD as a truck, once it gets goin it's gonna stay on that path for the most part, it's harder to slow down once it's picked up it's mommentum, slower to turn around and easier to tip over if you try to turn it around too fast. i get what you're sayin fruity, you feel like you have more control over your emotions on shrooms than you do on LSD. And with that I really agree - when I was alone and trippin on shrooms I could at times at least thing "jesus christ this shit's really fuckin with my head" but could also remind myself "it's just a drug, it's messin with me I'm not actually upset." With LSD the question was always "Why do I feel like this?" To me though the viper has sort of a mind of it's own, it wants to go somewhere but you don't know exactly where, but you still have control of it. With the truck, you're driving it but you feel the power of all that weight behind you and you sort of become one with the truck; you are the truck and you go wherever it goes, wherever that is
i got really emotional last time i did shrooms. one minute i would be happy and laughing about everything, next thing i know i would be bawling about absolutly nothing, then i would get happy again.....
