main difference between the two

what would you say is the MAIN difference between acid and shrooms, im just curious to what some of you have to say...

 

when on either, you would probably not be in a word mode and thus not be able to construct a way of describing your experience enough to accurately distinguish the two in heinsight

 

The main difference for me other than duration, is that with acid the visuals and sound are sparkly and very high frequency, everything becomes brighter and I dont get nauseas. With mushrooms, I get very sick when the trips turns death mode, the visuals and sound are more choppy and I feel dizzy, and the smells and touch senses are sloppy and overwhelming.
Other than that, like Bill said, it's in the moment and Im not good enough with words to share the differences.
God Bless +

 

People often draw the analogy that with mushrooms you're in the passenger's seat and with acid you're in the driver's seat. It's worth mentioning, though there are obviously limits to the usefulness of this comparison. For example, some of the less clever folks among us may take this as an indication that it's safe to drive on acid, which would be a mistake.

 

haha

 

with mushrooms the visuals will keep you trapped in your newfound reality.

with LSD the visuals can be dug into leaving a colorful kaliedoscope of infinate pattern and color.

 

for me.
once tripping hard on mushrooms it is hard to grasp reality and come back.
as for lsd I can usually always grasp reality.

 

how was it said,

Shrooms trap you

but

Acid sets you free

 

shrooms = organic
acid = not

and for the record, I love shrooms, not so much acid......

 

LOL

To not be completely spamming here I'd say mushrooms may provide some nausea, the fact of having to eat the shit, and definitely a shorter trip duration.. which can either be a plus or minus depending on how the trips going.

 

acid is more intense imo

 

so whats mescaline? the car?

 

so could one say that maybe dancing would be more likely on acid, ya know, moving around. Mushrooms is more of a stoned feeling..?

 

ive done em both but mushrooms i was stoned and overwhelmed, and acid, the trip sucked i just felt kinda high and i think the L was bunk

 

I realize that this was a quip, so I won't take you to task for asking, but just in case it's unclear, in the car metaphor, the car represents your mind or the experience (think road trip) and where you're seated in the car represents how much control you have over it. I don't know much about mescaline, but with say, MDMA, you may be rolling around in the backseat while it's parked in your driveway with the radio on.

 

i think relayer said it pretty well.

shrooms give me more of a "drunk" feeling than acid. like dizzy and hard to walk kinda. also i continue to smell and taste the shrooms throughout the trip. shrooms are more likely to make me nauseas.

and the visuals are different but i can't really explain it.

 

I've only done both twice, but to me the biggest difference in that shrooms have a sedative effect. Acid has the opposite. I prefer the shroom-ative, but I could see the acid-ulant being great in the right circumstances.

 

^^^that's another good point. acid makes me wanna "go do stuff" while on shrooms i could just sit there and melt

 

i like this post. its true shrooms just make me wanna sit there and melt as well. i personally enjoy shrooms. another main difference for me is that it is a lot easier to go back to base line after a shroom trip, as acid often leaves me with my head in the clouds a lot longer. some people like this.

 

i think its funny that we list pretty much identical effects from acid and shrooms but we each prefer the other one. does that make sense?

i mean we say acid does this, shrooms do that...but you like shrooms more, i like acid more. but for the same reason. weird.
