First time

[Mara]

I have had one LSD experience of 100 mics, but much more mushroom experiences. I started with about 2 grams dried and began upping the dose after that, had my first 5 grams dried with CM a few months ago. I have had one very interesting and fun MDMA trip.

In my opinion LSD is more psychological and less spiritual then mushrooms. LSD has properties to change your views of yourself and the world around you, because the world is still really clear and you are able to navigate through your environment, but also through your own brain, where you can change your rusted patterns and thought spirals. I really want to have a higher dosed LSD trip to form a better opinion about this drug.

Mushrooms give me a journey through spirit and soul, where there is no "self" to look at and or work with. Mushrooms give me insights about my inner worlds.The work with the self comes after the trip.

It's hard to decide which psychedelic is better. I'd say make up your mind about what you want and then choose mushrooms or LSD. I agree with CM about MDMA. Try that one when you have done some inner work with one of the other two substances.

Good luck :wink:

MDMA is great, i love it but in my mind i dont class it as a true psychedelic. its an excellent social and psychological tool but doesnt access the same areas as the others

Thats one of the things that makes me think . How can anyone call MDMA a trip ? Thinking also about the doses of MDMA that are generaly available and the doses that people generaly take . I can see no other comparison for psilocybin and LSD with MDMA other than that they are drugs .

For me with mushrooms it could have got a bit uncomfortable but if i opened my eyes the world was always there . With LSD it sometimes wasnt . With mushrooms i was always me , with strong LSD sometimes no part of the me existed anymore .

I also noticed that i`ve never had any drops or blotters that satisfied me or got me anywhere near as high / deep as micro dots . The fresh drops or blotters were also always better than when they were a few days old to .

But as has often been said , i dont think that most people would be able to tell the diference between psilocybin and LSD if it was injected and they werent told wich was wich .

i agree.
MMMMMMMMMMMicrodots are my favorite thing in the world.
ive taken several "unknown" substances which were subjectively identical to LSD
but only lasted 6 hours or so. sometimes in retrospect you can convince yourself it was one thing or another but you never know

Hey everyone thanks again for all the great replies. Really good to see everyone's different perspective. Haven't got my hands on any shrooms yet but i thought some of you might like to know how i got interested in psychedelics in the first place.

All started a couple of years ago when i got a copy of new scientist magazine and it had a free book, "100 things to do before you die." Being new scientist these weren't your normal things to do like swim with dolphins but included stuff like swim in a bioluminescent lake and learn a forgotten language. Anyway one of the experiences listed was to take Ayahuasca, preferably in the rainforest under the guidance of a shaman. It sounded really amazing and i became even more interested after looking it up on the internet. Although i was interested i never quite had the motivation to get some and mix up a batch. Partially because getting hold of Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis isn't the easiest thing in the world and partly because i just didn't feel i was ready for it.
Also in the past year and a half i became really interested in Buddhism. I heard some amazing dharma talks by Ajahn Brahm and it all really made sense to me. Anyone who's interested the youtube channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/BuddhistSocietyWA
Not all the talks are by Ajahn Brahm although the majority are but all are very good.
And so now i've come to a turning point where i feel i can really start to challenge my view of reality and try uncover the truth of what reality really is. Not just through psychedelics but also meditation, lucid dreaming etc.

Choose both. (Not necessarily at the same time, of course).

What Ivar and Fork said.

Just take 50 to max. 100 mics of acid for a wonderful and gentle introduction. As a next experience do shrooms.

Plant material is the more 'darker' and profound side of psychonautism.

I also think its personal. My first time with LSD was 300 mics.I wasnt dissapointed,it was great.But afeter a while I tried 1g of Hawaiian Magic Mushrooms.They almost made me want to kill myself.But before the bad trip I had a great time with powefull visiuals,I didnt experienced on LSD. But I want to take higher doses. Still Mushrooms are much more easy to get then Acid.
