Whats the difference between a medium dose of shromms, like an 1/8 and a single hit of good acid. ive heard in terms of visuals the difference is in what an object does when you look at it. by this i mean on shrooms objects seem wavy and have slight movments where as like if you looked at the same object on good acid the object would "come to life" and start either talking to you or literally sprout legs and dance in front of you. Can anyone shed some light on this topic for me. im doing some acid in 2 weeks and want to know how to compare it to my shroom trip (1/8) to get to know what im in for. thax ~ChuBBs~
first off every time is different. on one tab of acid for me i wouldnt get anything like what you described where as my friends on the same stuff would be getting much more intense visuals. one tab for me just makes everything a bit distorted. shapes and perspectives change, and colours more intense. i have no idea about the dose of mushies, i ate about 5 freshly picked no idea how much that is. for me it was like everything was trying to come to life and move around but couldnt quite get there i dunno. kinda like a car starting and beggining to drive along but then stalling. Mushies seem more organic. acid seems more.. almost plastic for me. Btw i would suggest two tabs first time. too many people i know get a bad opinion of acid when the try one and are disappointed with the effects. they seem to expect a lot more. two would usually do it though.
nah i have had good lsd. but it depends mostly on the trip. on a warm sunny day everything is can be organic but at night especially if im at a club things will tend to be almost like a cartoon. one of those new 3d animated ones. i suppose i just dont get the chance to trip during the day anymore. summers coming though... now that i think about it it is only when i trip at night that i get that plastic feeling.
okay, that's a better example, thank you for clarifying. I would just never use the word plastic...but I definitely see where you are coming from. interesting
well shrooms are organic and acid is man made, so i definitely see your point. But i've also had a great deal of acid trips that were so thought provoking and naturistic that it was almost frightening(in a good way). It really depends on your state of mind going into the trip and where the trip goes cuz i think all of us experienced users by now know that an acid trip is far outside the limits of human control.
i've always found this tidbit useful to describe the subtle difference. on mushies things "crawl" on cid things "breathe" i think thats as simple as i can put it visually wise. no as far as the mind part jus figure it out yourself its def worth it jus dont expect anything. jus go with w.e. happens. yay for doses tnite!!!
i feel like on brooms objects tend to morph/distort more, whereas with lucy objects appear more like themselves but with more vivid patterns/mild haziness if that makes any sense.
things breathe on mescal/mushies/LSD for me. mushies crawl and bubble LSD is sharp and pristine mescaline is old and pale
lsd is the fucking king as far as visuals are concerned (of course that comment is likely to change after trying dmt..). ultimate perfection via inner animation. the machine like rotation that was meant to be. with more and more experience i am finding out key points and connections that lie between the visual aspects and the broadening of conciousness. mushrooms come nowhere close visually.
I have limited shroom experience, but the general opinion seems to be that psilocybin visuals are more wavy and "weird" and LSD visuals are more detailed. From my limited experiences this is true. It's also possible to influence the visuals with your mental state. My only serious shroom experience was not a pleasant one, so I was pretty much trying to shut out the visuals, but when I would occasionally relax, things would get VERY bubbly and distorted, whereas on L, things didn't really lose their shape in the same dramatic way. It was more like parts of things became alive, and everything was wavy... and with L it has always been more about the perception of what I am seeing rather than my visuals actually changing if that makes sense. More like your mind playing tricks on you (the TV is big one minute, small the next) rather than just balls out major distortion. Along the same lines as perception, most of my strongest visuals on L have been linked to the structure of things. For instance, the human skeleton has always stuck out as a very powerful and interesting thing to behold while on L.
you need a higher dose of acid then because complete visual distortion is inevitable if you take enough.
acid visuals seem a lot more active and even conscious or rich in meaning, unbounded and warping, whereas mushroom visuals look organically alive and textured, more passive, waving. On acid, the air has a mood or stance to it, but on shrooms, the air has a theme to it.
although i can see the misunderstanding, i can see what stalk's saying. i'd call it a synthetic chemical derived from ergot as opposed to an organic compound, but i suppose it's a compound of an organic substance..
And then comes a chemist to say 'organic compounds are those primarily consisting of carbon and hydrogen, often including oxygen and nitrogen'
