Yea, I'm kind of confused as to why, people like Wldhoney, do not like acid but like mushrooms.
Mushrooms are much more spiritual, but at the same time, completely intense and unpredictable.
While anything can happen on any amount of LSD, it's kind of an electric feel rather than a watery feel, as if you know what to expect and prepare yourself for patterns of light and shadow. I've always found it much more manageable. Maybe the anxiety is higher than mushrooms, but I can't control my emotions on the psilocybin. Besides, whenever I dropped, I always drank some liquor to smooth the jitteries.
I've taken too much LSD though, and I still have after-effects to this day, about 4 months after my last use. The carpet patternizes, walls lose shadow, chairs appear to slowly move, shit like that. Doesn't bother me any, though. Whenever I'm bored in class, I just stare! Lol.
By the way Burnside, I recommend a very small dose of DMT for your first experience. If you're going the shaman route, be prepared to throw up from the ayahuasca brew, and get ready for an intense ride. However, if you're going to freebase it, an incredibly small 2-4mg dose will effectively shoot you into an intense LSD/Mushroom trip for about 20 minutes, with effects starting in 6-10 seconds.
I've done about 20mg, and that was far too intense and mind-shattering, although I felt the most intense rebirth and euphoria afterwards, complete with a shocked feeling and giggling. 60mg will shoot you into hyperspace for a NDE. I don't have the balls to try that. Happy tripping, though.
