There have been times when on acid I would get "the fear", especially on the come up, but I have found that by simply accepting and recognizing fear as a product of the mind, and its inability to actually harm me, I can make it go away and enjoy my trip. I had a terrible trip in April on LSA (imagine waking up with the mindfuck of 3-4 hits of cid), and I have tripped on acid since then without toooo much problem. The only time I start to "go down the dark path" on acid is when I start to analyze and judge myself, but I can usually remind myself to engage in the outer experience instead of the inner (if I need to). I was just wondering if a low-dose shroom trip would also create this problem for me, except be harder to go away due to the emotional aspect of shrooms compared to the mental aspect of acid. And yes, I understand that working through the inner problems is the best solution. I have done this, but the solutions require persistent inner effort in my daily life, and though I am not exactly where I want to be, I know I am on the right path and have a positive mindstate.
Can't really compare them because i've never tried acid (might hopefully change in a few weeks) but i've always found shrooms fairly easy to handle. If you don't want to explore yourself but want the kind of psychedelic good vibes i'd suggest candy flipping because the e, although dulling the self exploration a bit, makes it a lot harder to fall into a bad trip.
I've never tried acid, however, shrooms have always been really easy to take control of for me. The most trouble is when I was still tripping at school (inexplicably after almost 9 hours =S) but even then when I would start to feel paranoid, I'd just tell myself "stay calm, acting nervous will only put you out there" and I was able to maintain a relative cool.
If you surrender to the substance, you will be taken good care of. Don't try to control it, just let it happen. Fear of being controlled, of letting go of your ego, that's what causes bad trips!
If you really want to learn how to control your trips its not that hard. You can practice by taking low doses and just using your mind to move things or map your trip out in a particular order. Figure out techniques to use to make yourself have a good trip, then use those techniques with a larger dose.
This. I've only tried 25g cactus so far but I'm confident that 75g won't present any problems at all for me.
yeah mescaline is best acid second and shrooms have a mind of there own--high doses im talking about---low doses there all easy to control---on mescaline your like superman you have such control---to bad i cant get any right now
