    Out of these 2, which would you say is most easy to handle in low doses for a first timer? Ive heard shrooms are more of a mind fuck and in your head, whilst acid is quite a body high? is this true?

    acid doesn't give a real big body high in low doses

    for a small dose it doesnt matter. for a large dose, id say shrooms to be easier to handle. At least with shrooms i sensed life a lot more then death

    Definitely shrooms... Especially in low doses, just stay positive about the experience and don't be nervous or 2nd guessing and it will be perfectly awesome. It also helps comfort people that shrooms are natural etc.

    At low doses, I agree with StonerBill, it doesn't really matter, between acid and shrooms. At a higher dose, shrooms are more of a mindfuck.

    ok thanks, i would sort of prefer to try maybe 2g of mexican shrooms to start with, but my friend might be getting some acid really soon so i may aswell give it a go at some point in the next few weeks if he gets some.

    Also if u suffer from paranoia on weed some times, is it common to get it on lsds of shrooms?

    i think acid is FAR easier to handle than mushrooms when your doses get up there. shrooms can get confusing and, imho, have a greater potential for a bad trip.

    hell yeah shrooms are way more confusing than acid but less scary, imo. more frantic confusion and less tweaked anxiety

    that is, in the bad parts.

    but the way i consifer the confusion aspect is that on shrooms I still expected normality to a degree but with acid, when things started changing, I let go of any standard that i would usually use to try to reason the situation with. so I was stranded. but with shrooms I felt less stranded, moreso like I knew where i needed to go and where i came fro mbut i was confronted with the terrors of the jungle that I was amess in.
    but acid it was like the destination was completely unknown and all I knew was that I was not where I started and had no idea how big the forest was.

    That could jsut be the amounts i took or my personal experiences, but in this way I say that shrooms are easier to handle - I felt myself present a lot more, there to help myself. Maybe if i took more, that woudl just go away. But i felt with shrooms, it was hella confusing and not so pleasant but at least comprehendable. On acid, i was all alone. the wierdness of the outside world was less significant than the desire to stay alive/comprehend some issue in my head.
    but shrooms there were not issues or threats really, just confusion

    this is at the further extremes ive reached

    I'd probably say that acid was easier to handle for me, mushrooms was a much more intense and philosophical experience. Acid was just really fun and mellow.

    I've never tried acid. i'm kinda scared of it cuz i've heard some fucked up stories about my friends being on it. i've also heard that it can fuck with a woman's ability to have kids... and that would kinda suck for me.

    i love shrooms tho. they are my favorite favorite FAVORITE! i've never had a bad trip but i've heard of people not liking them. i think its different for everyone. like my friend, for the first 20 min. of her trip u cant talk to her cuz shes just like in a bad place for a while. but for the rest of the trip shes fine and she has a great time. id definitely reccommend them, just be careful! =)

    IMHO:

    While it may or not be technically true, I doubt a first timer would be able to discern the difference between the two the first time around.

    As for what is easier the first timer? I'm going to go with shrooms. The way I see it you are more likely to succeed in taking a small first dose of shrooms, than you are a small first dose of acid. My point is, if the acid is good, a 1/2 hit can knock you on your ass. While 1 gram of shrooms is damn nar for certain going to be a mild trip.

    It could go either way. I'm just giving you my best guesses.

    A low dose of good shrooms (for me) was a much more thought-provoking experience than a low dose of acid.

    In my experience, an actual mind blowing trip, no matter how high the dose goes, acid has always been much easier on the mind and soul.
    Mushroom overwhelming trips = Well over 50
    LSD overwhelming trips = Almost 1 but subsided very quickly.
    Any moment when LSD got uncomfortable for me, I seemed to be naturally able to easily push it in the postivie direction. While with mushrooms, let's just say I never truly understood what total insanity was like until they took me there. And that was on an eigth, believe it or not. The dose doesnt matter much which I found out over time. I've eaten quarter's of mushrooms which were equally potent and had a great time, while and eigth had me spiralling deeper and deeper into mental anguish for 3-4 hours.
    You never know.
    God bless

    If you can handle being really really drunk and really really high you can handle shrooms. There is no test to see if you can handle acid; that shit will rip your brain in half, pull out your inner Self, and have sex with it.

    Acid is better in low doses and shrooms are better in high doses. For me taking acid in high doses is pointless cause its just like a low dose but stronger and unnecessary and shrooms in low doses dont even do anything. Acid is like oh this is what everyones talkin about this is trippin, and shrooms is like welcome to insanity.

    I think that mushrooms can give us a lot more confusion, pain, so much that it's so overwhelming that we're unable to do anything about it. I think what makes acid so crazy, it's that with the twisted thoughts, there's also the rush and that makes it easier to do stupid things.

    I think what made acid so difficult to handle for me was that I took too much for my first time and that made very difficult for me to be rational and think clearly, mostly because my thoughts were going too fast for me to stop and analyze them.

    well looks like im getting some shrooms, 6g of mexicans, for me and 1 or 2 of my friends, i will probably have around 1.5-2g to start with, hopefully that shouldnt be too overwhelming, shame i dont have any scales though, will have to just guess.

    Find out for yourself. I tried acid out first. It was some killer windowpane, the best I ever have had. I blazed on one hit for over 12 hours. But I have had milder acid at times. So, I'd say start with shrooms. Just be positive.
