    Acid effects seem to heavily depend on the manufacturing process.

    I was just talking to a former deadhead who went to about a hundred shows altogether and has done acid hundreds of times. He talked about all the different types of acid he had done and how different they were, and a lot of people I know have had fundamentally different acid experiences depending on the tab. For me and the people I know, though, acid more breaks reality than imparts general euphoria.

    Mushrooms, cyanescens specifically, will give you that euphoria and togetherness and commune with nature. Setting is key. Calm surroundings, with someone you trust.

      Setting is absolutely key. And not just being around people who you can trust, but people who can help you with your trip. As in keep you happy, safe, and fed. It makes all the difference.

    • I never understood how people take mushrooms as a party drug. I’m not talking about microdosing either. I feel like I need the exact opposite, social isolation (other than close ones) in a controlled environment- ideally nature. A rave on mushrooms sounds like the perfect environment for psychosis.

      Whenever I take psylo, I cry for hours nonstop. It’s not sad devastating crying either, I just physically can’t stop my body from creating tears. I think it’s because it neutralizes my depression and my ADHD for some time. It’s like ripping a bandaid off my emotions. Anything resembling a face becomes terrifying. My dog’s stupid smile turned into the Cheshire Cat once.

      ime alot of it is just mood/how comfortable you are in a given setting, at it’s core it’s just amplifying emotions/thoughts.

      Thats fascinating, though IMHO the biggest differences between batches assuming they contain actual LSD-25 is dosage more than anything.

      (There’s an argument to be had about the iso-LSD content which is inactive, which occurs from the LSD being exposed to UV.

      Now a lot of what was called acid isn’t LSD, which maybe where the waters get muddied, (IIRC the famous bad brown acid was actually DOI at triple the recommended dose, which makes a lot of sense why people freaked out)

      Mushrooms are very interesting to me, I have very nice trips with them, but little to no afterglow, whereas the electricity of the acid stays with me for a few days to a week or two later.

      Though I will note that LSD is also the only one I’ve ever had a bad trip with.
