Listen up, buster, don’t you go trashing LSD just because you don’t like it. Many people, including myself, have had great experiences that, while different from mushrooms, were just as if not more profound while on LSD
Listen up, buster, I don’t recommend hardcore psychedelics to the curious beginner. Neither should you. Start with mushrooms. Easier access anyhow.
Regardless of your personal experience, they are both very potent. Personally, the most gnarly, off-the-rails trips I’ve ever had were thanks to shrooms. LSD has been much more consistent for me.
Mushrooms sometimes gave me insane paranoia although it never lasted for more than a few minutes. Never had a bad trip with LSD - the badness was always how I felt for a few days afterwards.
I’m older now and I couldn’t even begin to imagine doing either one now, but they were good experiences and produced some good memories.
If you had relatively clean LSD and mushrooms, both of which you’d sampled, which would you recommend the hypothetical beginner I’d addressed?
If it’s LSD then something’s fucked in your supply or you’re a unique personality that doesn’t realize they’re different from the vast majority of others in some fundamental way.
I can definitely understand how some people would prefer LSD afterwards, with experience. I’d advise that person that long term LSD usage, even microdosing for performance enhancement, will definitely have permanent effects upon their psyche. Maybe good, maybe bad. Future them will decide.
