Haven't had mushrooms yet -- dosage?

My main questions is about mushroom dosage vs. lsd. I'm 18 years old and just started on my journey with psychedelics.

I have had two acid trips thus far (not counting a tolerance caused half-trip). Once on 1 tab and another on 2. I can only assume these are your run of the mill 100 mic tabs.

I have had completely positive and rewarding experiences so far from LSD, and plan on increasing the dose next time I take a psychedelic. While two tabs was without a doubt intense, I think that even at the peak I would have enjoyed a third tab even more due to how positive my thoughts were. At the height of my last trip (two days ago) the stars were pulsing, changing colors, and slowly shifting position. I was starting to lose connection to my body and ego, but not in an overwhelming or powerful way. Still no unique revelations, but I have reinforced ideas about humanity, the universe, free will, and other things of that nature that I had already contemplated on marijuana.

The peak of my trip was actually at night, and at one point I was barked at by a coyote (probably 20-30 feet away within the trees) when I was by myself. It didn't send me into any kind of bad trip... I just started running towards my friend xD. I don't think it was especially weak acid or anything. Two of my friends were also tripping and were having quite a strong reaction as well.

Next time I will be trying a third tab, but if it so happens that shrooms are around instead I would like to know how much I should take for an similarly intense experience. Specifics on shroom type is great if you know about it. I'd also like some more information on how the experience differs from LSD.

Thanks for the help, and feel free to share anything about your first experiences too. I'll be happy to read!

 

I always recommend for strong initial trips, so I'd say 3.0 grams of shrooms or a full 1/8 (3.5 grams)

If you are using them for entheogenic purposes I think the deeper trips are more worthwhile and then you can adjust your trips later if you find it too intense.

The acid you had sounds pretty standard dosed. Shrooms tend to cause a bit more nausea in comparison to LSD and are usually not as colorful but more earthy. Shrooms are often more dreamy and sedating as where acid can be fairly stimulating at times. Shrooms usually last in the 4-7 hour range so it's a bit shorter than LSD in duration. Shrooms also tend to have a more significant body trip than LSD which is a more intense mental and analytical trip for me.

My first trip was on 3.5 grams of shrooms, I enjoyed the comeup and then felt pretty nauseous for a bit and spent a good portion of the trip lying down taking it all in. Then towards the latter half I felt a tremendous appreciation towards nature and the trip became fairly euphoric and had a persisting afterglow.

 

Yeah, shrooms(to me) give a sort of "hazier" trip, very earthy and I usually cant be assed moving at all, but just absorb myself in the same spot.
Don't go into your first shroom trip expecting LSD though. My friend had a fairly harsh shroom trip the other day, and he'd only had LSD previously. He put it something like: "Shrooms lead you, either by the hand or dragging you by a chain around your neck". I agree to a point because acid is slightly more controllable, like you can guide yourself on what to trip on. Shrooms are a lot more "up and down", and sometimes I don't even notice I'm tripping until it slaps me in the face.

 

eat an eighth and spend your trip outdoors

 

close your eyes and get lost in the shroomness, then open them and start walking around again (outdoors). repeat as many times as desired and embrace the magic.
