Acid i could handle rn, but mushrooms are out. You can just kinda have fun on acid, but eventually mushrooms make you face things
I can’t handle either anymore, really, but acid over mushrooms is wild to me. The amount of time, the comedown…
Sounds like it’s time for a business trip then.
I’d like to try dmt, but don’t have any connections that I trust because we’re all too old.
I wish I’d had access to DMT when I was actively doing psychedelics. Seems like it got really popular in the last few years. I had friends that were selling DMT vape pens.
DMT is great. It’s so short and forceful you don’t have time to have a bad trip. My most difficult times on mushrooms, LSD, or various 2C-x compounds were because I had time to think.
There’s no time to think on DMT. One second you’re sucking on the vape and it tastes funny, the next second every thing is melting, you have to close your eyes, and some entity is comforting you and welcoming you back, despite this being your first time.
Maybe one day… I first read about it in the mid 90s in a Terrence McKenna book (True Hallucinations),and a few years later in The Spirit Molecule. For now, I can tolerate minidose mushroom gummies at a concert haha.
It’s a very interesting substance. The short duration is a blessing, if you’re uncomfortable just wait 20 minutes and you’re sober again. You’re never going to be locked into hours of thought spirals. I’ve had more difficult experiences with cannabis than DMT.
Yeah that was always a major appeal for me, and something that has held my curiosity even though I can no longer enjoy psychedelics or cannabis.
Unfortunately you can have a bad trip on DMT. Don’t neglect your set just because it’s so short. It can get extremely intense extremely quick and you’re out of it before you manage to work it through
Maybe you’ve never had access to high quality mushrooms then? Being from a place where they can be bought in a store, quasi-legally, I won’t eat more than a couple grams of the stronger varieties, because 2 grams will already make me see sound and hear colour. And I ain’t no light weight.
But a couple tabs of acid, sure. I’ll be vibing hard, definitely acting pretty dumb. But reality will not melt before my very eyes. Might see some cool colours and what not, but it’ll always remain controllable. The problem is always the length.
Now DMT is a whole 'nuther thing. 5-10 mins of, holy shit I’m not even on earth anymore, and then BAM, back to reality. It’s quite nice.
I could just as easily ask if you’ve never had access to high quality acid.
Sorry, didn’t mean to sound condescending.
But yes I definitely have. That’s the cool thing about things, everyone can have their preferences and that’s alright.
It’s all good. People react differently too. I generally enjoyed mushrooms more, but I always found the hallucinations more tethered to reality-- nature mostly. Like seeing all the patterns and fractals in the trees or waves. Feeling the breathing of the earth. I’ve had trips on acid where I felt physically and emotionally “normal” but I had 100% visual hallucinations. Like the entire setting around me transforming into something else entirely. And not in a way that I could “shift back” away from.
That’s interesting, and I get what you mean, although I’ve definitely had similar experiences on shrooms where I was “locked” out of reality.
One thing that I’ve learned over the years is that being sound of mind is extremely important when it comes to doing hallucinogenic substances. As someone who is generally very low in anxiety, this normally is not an issue for me, but my few bad experiences have all occurred during times of emotional instability.
Yeah I’m naturally quite anxious. In my younger days, I would find relief in weed and psychedelics. At some point they began to amplify it :(
MinnesotaGoddam2 grams will already make me see sound and hear colour
Is that what it does? I already have synesthesia why would I make it worse
potoooooooo ✅️Acid is streets ahead of mushrooms in terms of intensity, for me. But I know it’s different for everyone.
streets ahead
Pierce, youre supposed to be dead
Acid lasts a lot longer than mushrooms, but for me mushrooms always included a brief bout of severe paranoia. I loved both of them, but now I would fight to avoid having to take either one. I’m just too old – psychedelics are for young, invincible people IMHO.
In the end dosage is very relevant and of course even more important: set and setting
I do think acid is more homogeneous and easier to dose appropriately though (YMMV) But the length of a trip can make it challenging.
Do heroic doses of either, shrooms for me result in more body load and are more introspective chaotic/mystic. Acid more energetic/clearer/“Neon” wider headspace. But in the end setting is what I think is most important for how the trip plays out (I had my best and worst trip on shrooms).
I guess it depends on the dose. I had good and bad moments on acid, and now I’m too afraid to take acid and have a bad trip, cause I know I should probably get over some stuff before. Mushrooms I have only taken small doses and I just got more enthusiastic in the way I was talking to friends, laughing more probably…
I know this sounds crazy but with LSD taking too little is the problem. Its not for everybody but I like taking enough that my legs get wobbly and I have to lay down with headphones on and just watch the show and have never had issues. I completely understand why someone would feel apprehensive about such an endeavor.
DMT has this reputation of taking a user too far too fast and leaving a person unable to process what happened but in my opinion ( for someone that truly wants to step out of this world ) it’s the best psychedelic because the ego can’t react fast enough to try and stop its temporary demise which is where all the trouble people have with psychedelics come from in my experience ( and it also leaves you in an instant state of slumber so there is no running in the streets naked ).
You take a hit and might have a few seconds before everything in you mind with attachments to the ego dissolves. You may remember your last thought of tring to remember what a tree is or your favorite aunts name before it all goes away and you get confronted by “something”. I don’t know what it is even though I have seen it hundreds of times it’s really not anything that can be understood when you come back but seeing “it” every once in a while somehow makes me happy to be alive

svelteciderOpposite for me. I can handle shrooms but not acid
