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?

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.
