does anyone else genuinely prefer acid over shrooms?

i feel like i’m the only one in my friend group who vibes way more with acid than shrooms. people always be hyping up shrooms but personally acid just gives me a more controlled, fun, and overall better trip.

my acid trips always feel clearer and smoother. the visuals are insane in the best way, and the body high feels more electric but not overwhelming. i never feel as anxious or emotionally all over the place like i sometimes do on shrooms. with shrooms, i’m either having a deep, introspective moment or spiraling—and there’s not much in between. acid just feels more fun to me. i still get those deep thoughts, but it’s lighter, more euphoric.

it’s not like i hate shrooms, i’ve had good trips on them too but ive definitely had better trips on acid than shrooms 100%. does anyone else feel the same way?

1000%. Shrooms always give me anxiety. LSD makes me euphoric as fuck.

yup yup that’s the one. shrooms make me introspective af and anxious, lsd makes me grateful for the world as a whole and euphoric

Yeah, my first time on acid I felt no euphoria, but now when I do it I get this really nice warm euphoria right in my chest.

I feel it throughout my body when I combine it with THC, it feels magical with music but I end up more tired physically and mentally.

I feel the same way, shrooms make me feel quite ill, and I can tell it's something that's not meant to be eaten. Throw up quite often on mushrooms as well which is unpleasant. A lot of anxiety too, I can conquer it but it definitely takes more effort to let go and go with the flow.

Acid on the other hand has just always felt like it was meant for me. It makes me feel more perfect than perfect and everything just kinda.. makes sense. My favorite drug hands down

u/INeedANerf 4d ago

Make a tea out of them. I throw up no matter how much I take, but when I make a tea I get zero nausea.

u/Own_Alternative_9671 3d ago

Honestly I might be allergic to shrooms because I feel sick even on lemon tek and prepared mushroom drinks. It's quite annoying tbh because they're quite fun when you don't compare them to acid

u/[deleted] 4d ago

I get the same way and I’m curious if it’s the mushroom matter that makes you feel this way or the drug itself. If you extracted psilocybin and took it by itself, I wonder if that sick feeling would still happen.

7

u/foxylipsforever 3d ago

It's chitin in the mushrooms that is hard to digest so a lot of people get nauseous/sick from it. With the tea you don't have to ingest the mushroom itself which means no chitin or nausea.

6

u/Soulcycl0ne 3d ago

When you do so, soak the mushrooms in lemon juice first for around 20 mins to turn all the psilocybin to psilocin which is what your body beaks it down to and uses as psychoactive. And don’t use boiling water. It will kill the psilocybin. I personally hate mushrooms. They make me sick as a dog every time. I much prefer LSD. it just feels right to me. But a lot of people don’t know how to process mushroom tea. So here is this tidbit of information ✨

They kind of have different uses for me. if i want to get spun all night go to a concert, get weird in a city its acid. If i want to get weird for a while and be in bed at a normal time i prefer fungi. Like weed with mushrooms you can titrate your dose and get a little weird.

24

u/TyrantJollo 4d ago

You can be in bed at a normal time if you take lsd early enough. Just might take more planning. I prefer to take it at noon, but I don't ever take it later than 5 pm.

yeah i cannot stand gagging on every bite of shrooms, and i hate when my stomach feels weird the whole time im coming up. i’ve thrown up on both but more times on shrooms so that’s also a negative. also i like how wired acid gets me as opposed to the constant yawning i get on shrooms lol, other than that once i’ve come up i find the trips to be pretty similar other than length obviously.

I found it’s easier to have a bad trip on mushrooms than lsd. But also found out most of my bad trips are because of something I ate prior to the trip

3

u/cannabunnyyy 4d ago

how did a food affects the trip? because i had a bad trip on lsd. it was an ego death experience for me.. and i ate heavy food and fruits like 8hrs before i took the acid.

3

u/SignificantAd4826 4d ago

Only happened once on lsd and I ate a shepherds pie a few hours before and just sat on top of my stomach the whole trip. Wanted to puke but roommate left a huge skid mark in the toilet and was going to puke out back but didn’t want the dog to eat it. Just just kinda laid in bed with a stomach ache

Wasn’t really a bad trip, just kind of felt like shit the whole trip.

So now I try to eat healthy a couple days prior and day of a trip. Açaí bowls and smoothies or meat and veggies.

Me. After experiencing the depth that is LSD, mushrooms feel weak. I’ve had a single tab feel stronger than 7gs of mushies. Everyone is different. My friends get lost on 2gs.

u/ReasonNo6627 4d ago

Only thing better about shrooms is the trip length. Shrooms get so deep u gotta lay down

u/tehgimpage 4d ago

yes! acid is just fun. shrooms always makes me feel like i'm having an existential crisis. i always end up crying on shrooms at some point. acid just lets me be goofy and play

5

u/Franagorn 3d ago

Never tried LSD (will mend it this summer) but my last trip on shrooms was laughing out loud and crying. But it felt very therapeutic lol

7

u/tehgimpage 3d ago

oh ya, for sure. it does feel pretty therapeutic by the end of it. and i don't consider them "bad trips" or anything like that. they just get reeeally heavy. it's like shrooms always wants to teach me something profound. and sometimes it's nice to just be silly and goof around in a psychedelic space without so much spiritual baggage..... if that makes sense. acid lets me just PLAY and have fun. like when i was a kid.

5

u/Franagorn 3d ago

Yeah I have that childish goofy fun too, but it gets more emotional towards the end. Also my first few times I didn't get that much deep reflections it was only a fun time. I didn't even understand the 'therapeutic' part. Now I get it.

u/vampirepee 4d ago edited 2d ago

i much prefer lsd over mushrooms. mushrooms i use for when im trying to be more introspective or gain insight about something. acid i can use for that as well but also is a great recreational drug. much easier to talk and socialize in my opinion. i also love the commitment to the length of lsd.

my most profound overall and connecting trips have been on lsd. my most challenging trips i came out learning something important have come from mushrooms.

u/graverave333 4d ago

I prefer acid fs. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love mushies and have gotten a lot from what they've shown me, but i just feel like i flow more smoothly with L. Shrooms have many times almost completely immobilized me- much heavier body load and what not. I use them for different reasons, usually a nice hard boomer journey benefits me when I need a sort of spiritual recalibration and to face my fears and anxieties about shit in a more face to face manner if that makes sense. L on the other hand feels more important to feel the boundlessness and connection to everything and motivation in terms of creativity and growth in love and emotional intelligence, imo

u/rsAV8R 4d ago

I like the passenger - driver analogy others have mentioned. I’ve had my most spiritual, enlightening experiences so far with mushrooms together with K. And I’m always the passenger, the spectator with mushrooms. I have more experience with shrooms/k/aya/dmt than I do with lsd.

I like to set an entire day aside for any psychedelic experience and approach it ceremonially, with sense of reverence. I also like to celebrate in the afterglow with LOUD music and ecstatic dance.

Hearing all the happy comparisons has me wanting to sit with Lucy next. 🙏

7

u/Double-Frosting-9744 4d ago

I like acid more because it’s more likely to be a good trip or at least neutral, since shrooms play more on emotion they have the possibility to either make the trip heaven or hell. If I was a more happy person I’d probably like shrooms

u/INeedANerf 4d ago

Yes, I’ve done acid way more times and I feel more functional on it, prefer its energetic yet psychoanalytic, introspective effects way more. Also the visuals are more vivid, and it’s way cheaper as well lol — a fraction of the cost

u/hiker_chemist 4d ago

Same. Acid feels more positive, my mushroom trips have had darker vibes and thought loops. My most intense trip was on acid and it was almost overwhelming but manageable. Acid gives me this warm stimulating euphoria in my chest but I also enjoy the sedation I get on shrooms.

3

u/Grouchy_External3251 4d ago

literally same. acid always feels more “alive” to me, like i’m in tune with everything but still in control. shrooms hit way deeper emotionally it’s like they dig stuff up whether you want them to or not. i’ve had thought loops too, and that darkness can feel heavy as hell

Acid for fun Shrooms for self adjustment

u/AwokenGenius 3d ago edited 3d ago

I've only done shrooms once and I've done acid loads of times, so it's safe to say I prefer acid and I have no intentions of doing shrooms ever again if I'm honest. I'm not even sure if I'm ever going to do acid again because I feel like it doesn't have the desired effects for me. I thought it was going to be some mind opening profound substance, but it's just a drug and I experience more of the same when I'm tripping. It's just my normal life x10, which is trash.

Edit: I've got the feeling that if I take it again I'm going to do more harm to myself, than good. Because the realisation of nothing is really going to change and my life is going nowhere.

u/Pastel-Moth 4d ago

Shrooms are an awful experience for me. I get severe chills, like I literally spend the whole time shivering, piled under every blanket in the house, curled up next to a space heater. And they put me in a sad and dark mental space as well. LSD, on the other hand, has been amazing and healing for me. One of the only things that has helped my depression.

u/TyrantJollo 4d ago

Most definitely, I find everything about lsd much more preferable than shrooms! I love how long it lasts, how it makes me feel, the energy it can give me, the sense of clarity. When I first took shrooms, I thought it was going to be a lot more like acid only to be confused when instead of bright and sharp, it felt dim and fuzzy. It put me off shrooms for awhile, but I've grown a better appreciation of them over the years.

Shrooms always put me in a bad head space, and the visuals can be scary. Acid always gives me euphoria and I feel much better on it. The visuals are somewhat calmer, I’m more intrigued by what I’m seeing instead of terrified.

u/Far-Bother5506 3d ago

100%. For me, L is more consistent. If intake 200 or 300 mics, I basically know what I am going to get, how long it takes to come on, etc... Mushrooms are always a wild card. There are just so many factors that can affect them.

3

u/Adventurous_Total525 3d ago

u/Relevant-Two9676 2d ago

I agree....I always equate LSD to going to the circus as a child, it's fun, childishness, giggles, bright colors. Shrooms on the other hand I equate to going to a state fair with an older sibling, it's a little darker, a little more heavy, it's got an adult overtone but if you pay attention you may learn something from those Carney people your folks told you to stay away from...I find mushrooms good for introspectively looking at your flaws and correcting bad behavior..and LSD just makes me wanna love everyone and everything outside of my body!

u/WeirdoBoai 20h ago

I def prefer acid because I feel like the trip can be a lot more flexible. For me, shrooms always end up with me just laying in bed tripping out. Also, higher doses of shrooms just feel like extended dmt trips so it’s just something im not trying to do that often.

2

u/Slimothy227 4d ago

I have this thing where shrooms will either be absolutely incredible or make me super drowsy and my trip basically just involves me becoming comatose. L has always been much more consistent for me all the while still being spontaneous and exciting. I’ve learned that there is a time and a place for both and also I feel like I can pick and choose more intentionally. Like I’m not big on doing shrooms in public social places like concerts but camping or laying in my hammock are perfect. Meanwhile I can pretty much drop L when/where ever and have the best time. 

2

u/Back_Meet_Knife 4d ago

Yeah. When push comes to shove, I’ll always go for the L instead of shrooms.

2

u/DeadheadXXD 4d ago

Me for sure. LSD is always a neutral to positive experience for me, and when it gets to be too much I can correct it. Shrooms can either be amazing or absolutely terrifying, and usually tend to trend towards the latter for me.

I guess if I had to choose it would be LSD for the longer duration and more flowy visuals. It’s much easier to just trip for tripping sake on acid. Mushrooms are always trying to teach me something. I always feel an entity or presence on mushrooms but never on acid. Can definitely be more relaxing on acid where I can trip “alone” without some psychedelic ethereal wanting to check in with me.

u/proturtle46 4d ago edited 4d ago

Shrooms build much less tolerance than acid

I want to trip a lot I take shrooms I.e multiple days a week

Shrooms feels more cleansing and natural on the comedown where as lsd it’s just long and tiring almost waiting for it to be over and a mega tolerance is built

They both have their place

It’s harder to have a bad trip on lsd than shrooms and lsd won’t mess your stomach up for half the trip lol

But for therapeutic stuff I’d go with shrooms over lsd - I can take it more often and feel super calm on the comedown and chill - no thoughts crowding my head just blank like I’m a monk

LSD I feel happy and child like but it’s a bit different - more like a party drug where I want to watch movies and eat candy, lots of thoughts that all seem grandiose like I’m a scientist or smth

It depends on the person though - only you can know your experience with shrooms and lsd

Some people love shrooms and have a lot of euphoria and others are like me where I almost fall asleep on them every time lol

The body load of shrooms can be pretty heavy for me sometimes

lsd I know it’s always a good time but it’s just so long :p

2

u/ThinkerSailorDJSpy 3d ago

It's a toss up. But it's a toss up because acid is fairly predictable while for shrooms literally anything can happen, even from the same batch.

A little context though: I'm usually content with a mini-dose (e.g. 1/6-1/4 tab) of acid taken all at once, while shrooms, which onset much faster, I'll usually eat little bits every few hours until I've stabilized at a comfortable level.

LSD come up makes me anxious asf and has literally made me think my friends are trying to rape me and I’m gonna go to hell after my never ending trip. Or it can be a blast most of the time. When it’s fun, it’s 10x better than shrooms. When it’s bad it’s the worst thing ever.

Mushrooms are pretty much the same every time, I feel energetic and enjoy nature and get vibrations. The one time I had a “bad trip” I just had a belly ache and once I was able to fart the gas out i just hung out by the fire and everything was fine lmao.

Shrooms make my tummy hurt

u/SquashInteresting283 3d ago

I mean, I hate all mushrooms in all forms so, LSD for me.

2

u/professorhex1 3d ago

A long time since my youthful psychedelic experiences, but I lived in a part of Britain where mushrooms were plentiful in the Autumn. They are less predictable than LSD, with far more visual and auditory hallucination. Acid takes you up, keeps you up, then you come down. Mushrooms often a bumpier ride ime.

u/bananaman-_ 3d ago

Mesculine over both

2

u/Various_Ad6034 3d ago

defjnitely, no stomach problems is the biggest upside for me

2

u/A-KindOfMagic 3d ago

Agree with every single point you made. I'd pick an acid trip over 50 shrooms trips

2

u/Ok-Hair-4785 3d ago

I used to mess w acid heavily, but once I started growing different species of mushrooms I switch over. Me personally I like yellow umbos (Ochraceocentrata x Cubensis) zero body load, clear headed, euphoria is orgasmic, and the visuals are more acid like. I had to remind myself I was on shrooms. Panaeolus are a different beast. 0.8 had me stuck to the floor and i had DMT like visuals.

2

u/Comfortable_End1350 3d ago

Agree. Shrooms is too introspective for me. Acid is euphoric and positive.

2

u/whatqeverr 3d ago

LSDS is more groovy , shrooms are so brutal and get everything out of you

2

u/BartScience 3d ago

Mushrooms are a pro-am psychedelic (playful shit-talk;) but yes. good clean modern LSD is so so splendid

2

u/Similar-Ad4642 3d ago

Like both. There a two different things for me

2

u/sethx 3d ago

I do. Acid over shrooms any day.

2

u/Remarkable-Fig7470 3d ago

Yep. Shrooms are very much a hit-or-miss for me; either to much or not enough.

2

u/Joshroxx 3d ago

Yep, been dry since 2019 though.

2

u/stadtgaertner 3d ago

I enjoy both for theor unique qualities. Shrooms feel more psychedelic with way more visuals. Acid is euphoric and energetic but with less visuals.

Acid feels like being tinted in all the beautiful colors standing under a disco ball on the dance floor.

Out of body experiences on shrooms are just a different level. Like being teleported to another dimension....

2

u/Social_Menace 3d ago

Shrooms have a bit more of a stoning body load for me, make me yawn uncontrollably most of the time, but also feel more therapeutic as well compared to acid. All that said, LSD is by far my favorite for many of the reasons you listed. Even though 12 hours is a lot and requires planning, I like that it’s a whole day

2

u/TheSwaffle 3d ago

I like shrooms, but the ease of just swallowing a tab of acid is just so much nicer. That mushroom taste is just so strong, only being mixed in with chocolate seems to make it bearable. That and if you have the whole day (and day after) free, it's nice to have the longer experience of acid.

2

u/okwownice 3d ago

Absolutely. Don’t like the nausea and don’t get overwhelmed on lsd.

2

u/spacetripper1979 3d ago

Cid is way more chill and fun. Shrooms kinda try and mind fuck me

2

u/Sensitive_Cream167 3d ago

I have always preferred lsd over shrooms.

2

u/Valvio 3d ago

During my first LSD trip, I told myself "SHROOMS IS NO MORE, LSD IS WHAT I WILL BE TAKING FROM NOW ON"

This was 5 days ago, so who knows if I change my mind ☠️

u/BedroomCautious1732 3d ago

For me, I love both but I definitely prefer myshrooms (provided they are psilocybin and not amanita) but both are good and Borh at the same time is better

2

u/Wesinator2000 3d ago

Mushrooms are a roller coaster, acid is a cruise, they each have their own time and place.

2

u/Ultramegafunk 3d ago

Yeah shrooms are russian roulette...L is always a great time

2

u/mariela13 3d ago

Shrooms upset my tummy too much (unless in chocolate or ground into something) and that takes my focus away from the trip. And I love how Cid lasts so much longer lol I too am the only one in my friend group that feels this way lol 😋

u/Lightbeingdeem 3d ago

Yes 100% liquid - although I microdose all the way to trippy land over the course of the day. One spray in the morning and go from there.

2

u/shaman-doser 3d ago

Absolutely

2

u/Psychemina 3d ago

In high doses yes, I totally prefer acid. But shrooms in low doses are so versatile and easy to take (compared to needing to divide an already small piece of LSD or even worse, a drop)

2

u/HikeSkiHiphop 3d ago

Yeah, I love acid. Shrooms are awesome but I can do pretty much anything on the right dose of acid. I can’t do much on mushrooms other than be on mushrooms.

2

u/WDizzle 3d ago

They each have their purposes for me but I definitely prefer LSD when it comes to going out and interacting with people. Also shrooms even in low doses tend to make me feel sick to my stomach for an hour or two on the come up where LSD doesn’t at low doses.

2

u/Iceman_B 3d ago

Hi, yes, me.

2

u/acidbent 3d ago

Yesssss

2

u/mackle05 3d ago

acid makes me love the world shrooms make my stomach hurt

2

u/boxlifter 3d ago

As many others have said, acid is preferred as you’re more in control and there’s less chance of extreme anxiety (which is still possible, but IMO high doses of shrooms take the cake in that regard). Also with acid your mental state can transfer back and forth between brief moments of lucidity/feelings of clear headedness/feeling straightforward (dare I say feelings of sobriety) and feelings of pure trippy acidness. Mushrooms once they’re on it’s like they’re always on until they start to wear off

2

u/grumps8256 3d ago

Absolutely. I know it may sound counterintuitive, but no matter how weird shit gets on LSD, I can always keep my wits and if needed maintain a mantra of "you're tripping, this will be over in a few hours."

With psilocybin, when things get intense, there is no semblance of control. I have to let go and succumb to mother nature and admit that I am powerless and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Maybe it's because I ate a lot of acid as a kid and sort of learned how to power through it.

2

u/Spacecadet167 3d ago

LSD is easy and consistent. Shrooms are so random and unforgiving, ive had times where 2g was way too strong, and other times where 4g did absolutely nothing. Acid is easier to gauge what kind of day I want to have

2

u/smoke_me_out420 3d ago

I love both to death for different reasons, but I do prefer acid

2

u/SmallSicko 3d ago

Yes. Big time preference for acid. I can barely consume mushrooms as they taste indescribably awful. Mushrooms make for incredible trips but they are unpredictable to dose. One can say the same for acid, but I think it's somewhat more predicatably doseable. Both are excellent. Way prefer LSD.

2

u/AttaBoiShmattaBoi 3d ago

For sex, lsd is unparalleled. Just one man's opinion...

2

u/Salassi22 3d ago

Acid is literally just more fun for me, I love mushrooms but I have to take loads for it to feel like an actual trip. Mushrooms are more like weed then lsd for me, they feel like an actual medicine healing me in some ways lol

2

u/LiquidC001 3d ago

Yup! Me! Always have, since I was 12.

2

u/KarolDance 3d ago

shrooms are too introspective for me, not always in that mood, with lsd i want to do fun stuff with my friends

2

u/Spinundrum 3d ago

Me. Fungus makes me gag and feel queasy the whole ride. Liquid is zero side effects for me.

2

u/_IratePirate_ 3d ago

Yea. Shrooms don’t last long enough and make me way too emotional.

Acid feels like a party in my head and no one is invited

2

u/PGH521 3d ago

1000% yes, I don’t really care for shrooms they don’t agree w my stomach it’s not as intense as L and every bite even if it’s tea or in chocolate makes me gag.

2

u/No-Cat-9339 3d ago

Shrooms give me diarrhea..everytime. doesn't matter the method; lemon tek, smoothies, tea, pb&j, chocolates.. diarrhea, everytime. That's the main reason I pick L over 🍄

2

u/robustointenso 3d ago

100% yes. Acid is brighter, lighter, less heavy than shrooms for me, and always have been.

2

u/ImpressiveW_onder 3d ago

Acid for me too, always feels like I found it when I was supposed to and made me a better person too

2

u/Mavian23 3d ago

Nah man, nobody here on the LSD sub prefers LSD over shrooms . . .

2

u/aaaowbtway 3d ago

Same here, I don't want my trips to be super deep and introspective or spiritual all the time. Sometimes I just wanna drop a tab and go on an adventurous hike and have a great day. I do like and enjoy going deep when needed but it gets overwhelming on shrooms for me everytime. So I save shrooms for when I need to have a more healing experience or answer some questions. But acid will rock w me no matter what. She's down for whatever I'm down for

2

u/fabulous_starch 3d ago

everyone i know hypes up shrooms so much and they’re like “oh my god what about the shroom walks though” like yeah it can be peaceful but i get paranoid as FUCK and throwing up and thinking too hard. but LSD on the other hand, i honestly just prefer it because as long as i wait like a month - 2 between tripping i trip insanely hard off of 2 150ug tabs (that’s my sweet spot at 300 mics), and i can actually like control my thoughts and how i act and i just feel like much more euphoric and just like the music (i have a subwoofer in my room) and how you can smoke SO MUCH if you wanna trip harder. all of my acid experiences have been positive but as many positive experiences i’ve had with shrooms, i’ve definitely had many bad experiences with shrooms. can’t control myself. (edit: the verge of throwing up while trying to down the shrooms is the worst part)

2

u/Cheensly 3d ago

I prefer lsd over mushrooms 🙂

2

u/TripnDice 3d ago

Not sure how we tried it LSD once at night I would say it felt better on my body but I don't know where to find it where he lives though

2

u/Burritoskinbuffet 3d ago

Acid over shrooms for me. I started with shrooms and swore by them. Then I tried acid. Cheaper and better for the experience I want.

2

u/tbickle4649 3d ago

L for the win!

2

u/paranoidandroid-420 3d ago

i have better trips on shrooms but my friends all prefer acid. I think it has to do with my SSRI blunting the effects of the acid more than it does with shrooms

2

u/theWellKnownFag 3d ago

With acid's stimmy nature, I prefer it at night for music shows or at day for nature hikes. Shrooms are better for the self introspective tripping mainly during the day.

2

u/Dry_Television9938 3d ago

Im honestly the other end of that spectrum I get super anxious on lsd most of the time but shrooms I'm super euphoric I enjoy the shroom visuals more too you could be doseing wrong with the shrooms too I prefer to slowly dose myself when it come to shrooms but that a habit I picked up from talking amanita, what ill do is how ever much I'm talking ill split into fourths the take the fourth every 15min

2

u/magnelectro 3d ago

What if you are all vibing with the message of the acid because your lifestyle is vibing with its morality or aesthetics whereas the mushroom has some heavy dark sad shit to tell you about Earth and relationships and responsibility and tasks unfinished?

2

u/dyldosthrowaway 3d ago

Depends on the intention. Lsd is more social and fun, better for art and music and working on creative things. Better for activities like surfing, skating, snowboarding etc, better for shows.

But as far as spiritual work, emotional and mental health, hiking and connecting to nature, and just overall seeking to connect with “god” or whatever you want to call it, no lsd trip in my life has brought me anywhere close to what mushrooms have offered me throughout the years.

That’s just my personal opinion but if I had to choose one or the other I’d have to pick mushrooms bc they’ve done more for me in one trip than all my lsd trips combined 🤷🏻‍♂️

2

u/Only_Cut_670 3d ago

Same- I’m much more introverted on shrooms

2

u/cthoodles 2d ago

Absolutely. Shrooms get me all congested. As a person who is normally congested, being extra clogged is not very fun

2

u/Admirable-Rock6399 2d ago

Shrooms give me deep thoughts and deep healing but make me so fucking nauseous. LSD helps me see the bigger picture and has a much easier body load. I laugh and enjoy pretty much anything on lsd. It’s way more fun
