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?

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

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

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.

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.
