This is also a thread about shrooms visuals vs acid but anyways... So I consider weed a weak psychedelic but with a strong, maybe even stronger 'presence' then shrooms or acid That is; I believe weed feels more like you are filming a movie through your eyes, like cartoon world or whatever while acid and shrooms are much different I'd say a panic attack after having just a few hits of weed is way more intense then a panic attack or bad trip on an eighth to 1/2 eighth of shrooms That could just be me and my extreme sensitivity to weed and strong tolerance to halucinogens... +bigger doses prove contrary I tried acid once and off 1 hit I didn't get too good of a taste of it Then I tried shrooms about a month later and definately felt it I just did shrooms again last saturday and I now I can say I have experienced the full trip (I did an eighth) So onto the visuals Acid When I did acid everything looked extremely detailed, like oil pastel -Everything had this really rich deep runic feel to it, very dense -Peoples faces looked like cats and shit, just really softened to an oily water color texture and shaded, percise and elegant; especially in the dark -It seemed like when the cid hit you, a screen on your eyes was lifted making everything clearer and less hazy, but more grayish and coarse, yet smeared like shiny smooth sandpaper, the smoothest type -Faces in the light were a bit buzzy but still really defined and clear, kinda smeared looking, very mystical and deep Shrooms The first time I did it I immediately knew how the visuals worked The first thing I noticed were eyebrows lol -Eyebrows would clearly dense up, like more hair and it looked like they bulged out and the hair constrained against the skin like a gorilla On top of that it would wiggle on a microscopic level, like each hair swiggled and tugged on the skin -Skin, like looking at your arm would be very trippy, veins appear appear full of blood, very creepy looking, like each muscel and tendon in your arm is alive, fingers appear to tense and release constantly much like leaves did -Everything was liquidy like *(dead serious) waterworld, as if you were looking through a soapy bubble that made colors warmer and aqua-ish and wavy -Trees in the wind truly danced, each branch waved in accordance to the other branches and it always had rhythm, small leaves and shit grew longer and shorter, curled in and out and twirled -wood grain flowed like rivers, 3-d designs looked like the REAL 3d(4d), warm colors like teal orange and yellow were really trippy, set the mood, seemed to stick out
Np but really this is just my opinion, I asked my friends and they had completely different types of hallucinations Really I don't like generalizing on substances, especially psychedelics since it is such a subjective matter that shrooms for one person is acid for another
i say acid gives you clearer visuals, mushrooms always seem to be a little smudged. shrooms seem to have more of a natural flow to the visuals. at higher doses tho acid and shroom visuals are almost the same.
I love mushrooms. I was tripping last night and looking at the ceiling seeing swirling, dotty, aztec weird patterns. Except one time I took about 7 grams of caps and tripped very hard. I was also looking at a cd case and all the cds were sliding in and out and changing colors. my 2 cents.
the way you describe that sounds so cool. I dont know what type of music you listen to, but you should try Phish because theyre sound is all watery and I heard they did a bunch a shrooms when they recorded alot of there songs. I have always wanted to listen to phish when tripping on shrooms because the lyrics also sound like they are describing what i have heard about shrooms. I have never done shrooms, but Phish is amazing with pot, so I Must try shrooms with Phish! so should you...If your into chill jam band stuff, idk
Oh yeah For sure I listen to phish now and it does have that waterworld paradise feeling to it I love it But i didn't have a chance to listen to them on shrooms Next time heh My god do I love shrooms now I'll probably do acid again once summer starts My mind is always in crazy places so I can't really tell how my mind works on a hallucinogen, unless I am experiencing anxiety or that contagious giggle where you feel like you are being messaged by the sun on each of your skin cells in a bubbly bath of nice hot butter lol

yeah, I made a playlist of about 7 hours of all phish and i want to listen to it when i trip at a nearby park this summer, i cant wait..but i wonder, even though i love phish and all, if i will get bored, or want other music while tripping, or if i will be content with a pure phish trip.. it sounds like i will enjoy it but i guess i wont know until i experience it.
Yeah man, i made a playlist of all different songs, mostly from the beatles, bob dylan, the doors, the moody blues, pink floyd, thirteenth floor elevators and U2. I am also planning it for my trip this summer when my parents leave town for 2 weeks. I dont know if i should go to a forest for the whole trip or just go in my backyard or whatever.
I never see nothing when I take shrooms, but everything is looking at me.. lol. I had a Soda pop can Choir on my desk once, where about 6 empty cans began singing "G L O R I A.... Gloria..G L O R I A....Gloria" really was cool. swaying back and forth. and the opening were mouths...
Wow. chugtonio, you just NAILED it man! I havent had the chance to try acid yet but i totally agree with your descriptions of weed/shroom visuals. Especially the 'watery' part of the shroom visuals. If it isnt too much trouble, could you please describe your closed eye visuals as well? I bet you see the same stuff as i do, but i know i'd fail horribly if i tried to describe them myself lol
Lol thanks man i was waiting for someone to agree with me I wanted to know if there was a pattern to shrooms vs acid, i was beginning to think that it was so subjective that each person has completely different trips so that acid and shrooms can't even compare as they are just the catalyst to the manifestation of the mind Ya so these are the songs i have for when im going to trip on acid soon, then ill post up a much more detailed visual assessment all of my love- zeppelin another brick in the wall badfish - sublime be yourself - audioslave beautiful day -u2 black hole sun - sound garden blinded by the light (this song gives me the feeling of being out on a lake with the meaning of life, starring of into the sunset with a babe in your arms, like on of those last scenes of a movie where everyone knows like is great) by the way californication otherside can't stop under the bridge zephyr song scar tissue soul to squeeze snow =all chili peppers (so pure and heavenly yet original) cemetery gates - pantera(amazingly deep) comfortably numb -pink floyd (like heaven) its the end of the world as we know it day tripper come together echos- pink floyd edge of seventeen- lol i just like this song fade to black - metallica (amazing, purely amazing) float on- modest mouse (another the meaning of life song, it feels like the meaning of life is its never going to be easy but you just keeping floating on, like it is the last song of the story of your life) One - metallica (really deep, agressive yet beautiful) sheep - pinkfloyd stairway
How can you listen to just one pink floyd song by itself? You don't get the full effect of the song if you don't listen to the rest of the album. Listen to all of animals while tripping, meddle sounds great as well.
damn chug, you did extremely well at articulating how you wanted to express the differences in what you saw, these chemicals obviously work the same course each time biophysically but every trip is different so its hard to pin point it and "claim" its pure opinion obviously. very well done though i agree with everything you said. i always have a hard time explaining the difference in trails and shit, trails and tracers lol, there are alot of curious people who ask about this shit... more people just need to get dosed and stop askin.
damn i hve seen a lot of crazy shit on shrooms thumbs broken tho so i don't wanna chicken peck the whole thing ha ha but lots of colors and patterns and changing faces. like my girl friend had these 2 flashes that went across her face and it looked like a blue scaley creature from another world at the same time the flashes happened got weird shocking vibes that were intensely awesome
ive only had a mid-level shroom dose, but i found that everything appeared to "breath" and that my hand appeared to pulse and it was awsome. also, almost everything with a visual texture had a habit of rotating or appearing to swirl. This made petting my dog a very intense experience.
God damn it I keep putting off my next acid trip hopefully within the next 2 weeks ill trip Idk, well the lyrics don't mean much to me while sober and while tripping they mean even less. I just like flow of the songs, their use of heavenly chords and alternating between a 'good' and 'bad' trip type of evil/happy chords and melodies, some jazzy, all different emotions portrayed in each song I love echos especially, the parrellel minor to major in the verse is amazing "Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time = minor Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine. And no-one called us to the land And no-one knows the wheres or whys =major But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light" I dont get much of the breathing visuals, i just this very pruny/plush overtone and everything looks more full of life and plump But definately my hands and feet and shit all pulsate like crazy also small threads like a ripped up shoe lace on the side of your shoe for me is enhanced, it looks like a aura
