When I lived in VA my buddies and I went to his HUGE log cabin about 12 miles off the grid. He has a ton of land and we stayed up there for a couple days right at the end of summer. We ate a good bit of shrooms, set up the slackline and did that until it started to settle in. When it first started we went on an adventure in the woods and ended up laying in a creek bed with the water running all over us while we laughed for about 6-8 minutes straight. We found our way back about 3 hours later, TRIED to slackline again (didn't work) and ended up grilling food and laying in an opening and star gazed for a couple hours. It. was. GREAT.
totally depends on the situation and what your personality/mindset is. To sum it up I would say shrooms have their time and place, where as acid can be more flexible in terms of where and when you take it. In my experience, shrooms are a more intense mind trip while acid is a very lucid trip mentally but the body highs can be a bit much for some people. If you want to be out in the woods and have an intense eye-opening mind trip then I would go the shroom route. If you want to kick it with friends in a park or wherever, and see more visual hallucinations I would go for acid. Another thing to consider is that the shroom trip will wear off a lot quicker than cid, since acid comes in waves you should expect to be feeling the effects for the better part of 8 hours, of course all depending on your dosage. Personally I prefer acid, I did it on a camping trip with some close buddies recently and it was one of the best times of my life. I love shrooms too, but like I said, they have their time and place.
WoldsWorldI find the body high on shrooms to be overwhelming compared to the one from LSD, thus I prefer LSD.
Mothahucka nailed it. This too. Shrooms can overpower your mind especially on the onset which is uncomfortable and overwhelming especially in public and at concerts. Thus, I also prefer acid. Shrooms also get me too nauseous and sometimes it's impossible to shake it. I've also had shrooms that were bunk on more than one occasion of I didn't eat enough. Go big and eat a lot or...trip acid :)
I've been around friends and they won't even notice I'm tripping. But how would you? Once we have google glasses scanning everyone, the gig will be up!
both are great and I find the differences to be subtle.
This april a group of my friends and took some acid on a postcard worthy new england rocky beach and stayed at a friends vacant grandparents house on the water. At 10pm we heard sounds of yelling and struggling from off shore. We yelled back asking if they needed help, they yelled back yes. The yelling got seemed to be getting fainter as there was a strong offshore breeze and wherever it was coming from was getting blown out into the ocean.Now don't forget we were all tripping pretty hard at this point. Although we were tripping, we decided we needed to call the police and coast guard ASAP because we had no boat and these people sounded like they were in serious danger.
So pretty much the entire town's police force, maybe 15 cop cars shows up with firetrucks, ambulances, and the coast guard right at our house. We were all tripping hard and it was terrifying to talk to cops but we were more concerned for the lives of the people getting blown out to sea. This turned into a full on emergency rescue mission with helicopters, spotlights, and coast guard boats. About an hour went by and we were all extremely scared because it was very dark, and the water was cold, meaning the people likely drowned or froze. Meanwhile, thoughts of the fragility of life, death, and existence were spinning through my head as all the red and blue lights from the cop cars were reflecting and bouncing all over the house making it a disturbing an disorienting place to be. After an hour of searching, a coast guard boat pulled up to the neighbors dock. I told myself I would not look for I feared the worst and did not want to be traumatized by witnessing a human death while tripping on lsd. However, two figures wrapped in towels walked off of the boat and we were told they were going to be ok. All my friends immediately started crying and hugging one another for it was a very emotional and stressful event and were all indescribably relieved and happy they were ok.
I still don't know the full meaning of this experience because there was a lot to take in and think about. The one clear takeaway was that I gained a deeper understanding of the duality that exists between the beauty and harshness of nature. When only a few ingredients are combined in the right way, a beautiful and blissful spring night can suddenly turn into a life or death battle for survival. All I know is that if we were not tripping on acid that night in that location, those people would never have been heard and would have likely died as a result. Sorry for the essay. if you read all of this, good for you.

TDLR for stories... but in short.
Shrooms... they induce stomach poisoning which cause the hallucinations.. you get a wild body high and its very similar to ketamine as far as disassociation. you are much clumsier and depth perception is really thrown off. visuals are not as "out of this world" as LSD.. plus easier for them make you paranoid
LSD-- liquid love, makes you so much happier than even mdma. HIGH UPLIFTING energetic. much better if you are going to be in a social setting...
i used to like shrooms
then i took to many and it felt like i was dying and reconnecting to the universe
moral of the story is just eat the shrooms because they taste bad and its hard to eat to many. when i took to many i ground them up, compressed them into a rolling paper and popped them like pills. bad idea
dont do either if you're emotionally unstable or have been depressed within the last 6 months
steezboxI was always under the impression that acid was in another league from shrooms in terms of the intensity of the trip. Not true?
Not true. I think thats a misconception because its easier to get more in depth with your thoughts on LSD while on shrooms you really don't know what to think. The idea that LSD is another league probably stems from the fact that it dive deep into a thought or idea. On shrooms you don't really have a train of thought, at least thats the case in my experiences.

I agree with MothaHucker, although low doses of good bloomers can be pretty lucid and really giggly. Sometimes thats nice when you don't have all day/night and wana be able to have some good fun.
Acid: More consistent trip, but much longer. Can be very high stress for some people but i think its relatively calming. Can lost too long for some. Less interesting visuals, but the visuals occur more often then shrooms. Colors get really bright, patterns move and breath, full visual manifestations can occur, and there will be fractals. Acid is better to do in any setting that is social or public because its kinda easy to make out whats real and whats fake.
Shrooms: The trip is kind of disabling in the sense that you cant do much at all while your tripping because you will feel really gelatinous. Very interesting visuals. Much less stressful, and harder to have a traumatically bad trip. Slightly safer than shrooms in the sense that it cant fuck you up permanently as easily.
DISCLAIMER: WHILE I DO NOT PROMOTE OR ADVISE THE CONSUMPTION OF EITHER OF THESE SUBSTANCES, RESEARCH HAS TIME AND TIME AGAIN ATTESTED THAT THEY HAVE LITTLE TO KNOW PHYSICAL RISK LONG TERM OR SHORT TERM, BUT CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE IF NOT HANDLED CORRECTLY. ACID IS ALOT MORE FUN IN MY OPINION BUT IS HARD TO GET A CLEAN PLUG.
For what's better they're pretty even for me but I would say shrooms. Most people have a far better chance of getting real boomers than lsd. A lot of "acid" out there is pretty whack and the reason I stopped tripping.

^^exactly.. unless its from Dead Family (LSD prodigies from hippie era)
also in general LSD is become less potent
I was an LSD vetran in my youth... I took 2 "tabs" from my friend at a music festival last month, ended up passing out and getting sick after a k-hole like experience...

Oh man, I have so many shrooms story.. Last time we tripped at some loaded guy's house and this one dude became so weird and anxious he couldn't hold it anymore and punched my friend who was trying to calm him down. We had to lock him out in the yard and everyone was fucking scared of him. I wish I had proofs, the guy was out of his mind.
I've done acid twice but haven't taken enough to fully "trip", I took one tab both times and both times i felt like I was extremely high on weed, but with a lot of energy and enhanced colors, like the contrast and brightness had been turned up. I was also chain smoking joints so that could have contributed.
My question is would you rather do acid or shrooms while skiing? My guess is probably acid. I'm planning on doing it this winter i'll let yall know how it goes. Don't think its gonna be a problem.
Also even if what people find is real, 1=/= another. Definitely don't rely on that scaled up and be like "I wanna get fucked up" and eat a bunch because you might get the good shit and go for a fucking ride. Depending on the how you feel that could be awesome, but some people lose their shit.
Just tried shrooms for the first time last weekend, was for sure a fun feeling besides trying to calm my friend down. The motherfucker was asking questions like "who am I? What is reality? What is life? What is this drug were on?" hahah
Anyways just got some more and going at it again this weekend with some more homies, definitely in a better setting this time. Really wanting to try some cid though.
Shrooms always gets my stomach hating me every time I take 3.5 grams of dank blue pnw shrooms. I never throw up but my stomach feels like absolute shit and I always go on the verge of throwing up while being high as balls coming up. I always surpass that point and get high as shit afterwards. Shrooms is cool and I have tripped way hard on that stuff just because of the doses and quality of shrooms I have eaten.
I've seen elves running behind walls in some 4th dimension with this girl in a green polkadot dress they seemed very friendly to my knowledge and they wanted me to join them. While the pantings are a living and the hues of my surroundings are changing. Thats being on some damn good shrooms.
Acid for me was more mellow, euphoric, and in general it was a nicer experience my stomach doesn't get sick from them so I prefer it a bit more.

best rescue/trippin/heroic story i have heard in awhile. Bravo.
Acid is by far my favorite drug, such a fun experience. take a couple tabs and go explore nature, go skate, be outside. Night trips are also fun as shit, looking at the stars on acid is the best.
Shrooms are also very fun, don't have as much experience with them as acid, but I enjoyed my shrooms experiences a lot
Used to think it was a waste to do both, as I let my friends know as they decided to to so.
This summer while at Shambhala though I said fuck it and gave it a go. As the acid was nearing it's peak I ate some mushroom chocolate. Visuals were really, really entertaining and observing the world happen was very entertaining. Problem was, I was doing just that - observing. Lost the ability to dance, talk, and move at any coordinated/fast pace. Crazy trip, and in the end I stick by my thoughts that it's a waste to do both together. Acid for social partying, mushrooms for hanging out in the forest... Unless of course you're wasted at a house party and a bag is getting passed around. Oh, the amount of times I've eaten mushrooms that are just randomly being passed around a party. Always ends the same way: "Man, I feel so fucked... Oh shit! I ate mushrooms!, totally forgot."
I will never ever fuck with shrooms. Reason being, I have a friend of a friend that ate shrooms one night when she was in college and whilst tripping she thought there were spiders crawling all over her body. She then picked up a knife and stabbed herself to death, trying to get rid of the spiders.
it's heavy as hell but that's why i'm not gonna fuck with that.
A couple of days ago my freind took some altered acid or something, It had a "3" somewhere in the name. Wells anyways he took 2, and he started freaking out and started to smash my friends ukele on the wall. Then tried to jump out the window. so we took him outside and he jumped on and smashed a girls windshield in her car. She got out and started hitting him, and he freaked out more. He hit 2 girls. He tackled my freinds mom, started jacking off to the girl that he broke her windsheild. Threw a shoe at my car, and tried to kiss another dude. My freinds mom called the cops and he was butt naked when he was arrested. And he ratted on the guy who sold him the acid. :/

It wasn't altered LSD you fucking idiot it never was LSD and was never anything like it. It was just another random chemical that fucks you up so people buy it as acid. Stupid fucking people.
WoldsWorldI find the body high on shrooms to be overwhelming compared to the one from LSD, thus I prefer LSD.
Having tried shrooms with OP I agree with you. At the peak of the trip the body high and uncontrollable laughing was overwhelming, especially when venturing into a candy store with little kids.
It was a fun experience but I just don’t think I can do it in public again. I would much rather take them on a camping trip.
Thizzle.It wasn't altered LSD you fucking idiot it never was LSD and was never anything like it. It was just another random chemical that fucks you up so people buy it as acid. Stupid fucking people.
This. Im not a fan of people getting in trouble then narcing people out but fuck him. Dont sell whack shit. Also this is why i would advise most people to stick with fungus. If you dont know people it just isnt worth it. People need to be aware of whats out there as well respecting it either way. Just be safe people. Tell your friends.
Shrooms - much more visual trip, you will see shit that isn't actually there, and it's probably because of this that I find it much easier to have a bad trip on shrooms than any other hallucinogen.
Acid (phenethylamines and other RC's) - dangerous, you can OD, much less visual than shrooms, also certain phenethylamines have stimulant effects that render the trip a bit like a molly roll.
LSD - completely safe, visuals are usually in the form of shifting patterns or colors. synesthesia is one of the coolest aspects of an LSD trip (synesthesia being the mixing of senses, ex - seeing music, tasting colors, etc...). LSD trips tend to have a bit of a religious/enlightening effect to them, not to the extend of DMT, but definitely unlike any trip from shrooms or acid.
first_rodeoShrooms... they induce stomach poisoning which cause the hallucinations..
This is a popular misconception, actually. Psilocybe (the psychoactive chemical in psilocybin mushrooms) is non-toxic. The reason you get stomach pains is because the pepsin in our stomachs struggle to digest the fiberous tissue of the mushroom (called chitin). Next time make tea or chew your fungus more thoroughly. :)

Acid is LSD, RC's are RC's. People were calling LSD acid back in the 60s before RC's were a thing. Now with all the RCs going around and it't tough to get real acid I can see why you're calling it that, but still I think the term should be saved for the real thing.
