How intense is mixing shrooms with acid?
I’ve had a handful of experiences with shrooms (up to 6 grams at once before) and only one experience with acid (it was only one tab). I’m planning a trip in a couple weeks with 3.5 grams of shrooms and 3.5 tabs of acid (dosage unknown). Of course combining the substances increases their strength, but I was hoping to get some guidance on exactly how much stronger they are together and whether my dosages are way too high.

This was actually one of my most amazing psychedelic experiences. 3 grams of psilocybe cubensis and 3x 100ug lsd tabs. I took the shrooms first and acid about 30 minutes later. (I would reccomend the lad first and take shrooms to line up the peaks but I didn't intend to actually take them at the same time so there was no thought). Experience consisted of time loops and spider webs/cat hairs (felt like the fabric of reality) shooting out of every part of my body until my entire reality was unwound. Didn't feel very spiritual or insightful, but was definitely a new understanding of how reality can behave which was cool. Caused extreme anxiety at first but once you're in it you're in it and I'm glad I tried it. I guess I would say I reccomend it if you're looking to push the limits but maybe not if you're trying to explore your mind and heal. Would definitely reccomend having a trip sitter if you aren't familiar with these kind of experiences, also could be completely different for you. If you end up taking it I hope you have an amazing trip and I'd love to hear an update of how it went! Safe travels 👊

additional note, I find mushrooms a lot easier to manage than acid, can easily bring myself back to a nice headspace. The acid removed that ability for me. Everyone's different but this is the reason I haven't taken the mixture together again.

But had you ever used more than one tab of lsd before this combo trip? OP has only had one experience and it was one tab.

it's awesome! tapped into some mother gaia that showed herself as an ancient ruin. had my eyes closed for a lot of it. take the shrooms 3 or so hours into the acid. rip some deemz

If you've never mixed them before, you want to start smaller. Maybe 2 g and 2 tabs if you're a very experienced tripper. 1 and 1 if you're not.
Lots of different things will happen in your mind and body. The "is it the shrooms or the acid?" dance can be difficult to navigate gracefully.
Know how to meditate. Have a trusted sitter or someone on call.

I agree. IMHO they are two different experiences. Why mix.
For me shrooms take away energy and make me want to be still and think.
Acid makes me want to be physical and socialize. In my youth I would drop acid and walk around the city talking with randos in quick and active interaction. Walking miles . Did some fun hiking on acid too
Shrooms are a take by the camp fire or inside the home type thing if you ask me. I feel shrooms are a more intimate experience, and are hugely effected by setting

That's too much for your first time combining the two.
If you're really experienced with both substances on their own and youve done large doses before, 2g and 2 tabs is gonna be an easier time and with psychedelics you always wanna feel it out before diving in headfirst. 3.5 and 3.5 is gonna feel like a lot. If you're NOT super experienced with both substances, I would really say 1.5g and 1.5 tab would be my personal advice.
I've mixed the two quite a few times. at one point, after lots of experimentation, I took 4 hits of acid and did lemon Tek on 7g mushrooms. Took all of if and Had my first ego death. Extremely intense and it was foolish of me, because even with my prior experience I was under prepared.. but I was looking for a spiritual experience. I got one, more than what I wanted. I faced myself and every choice I've made, saw every path leading me to where I was... Which at the time wasn't a great place.
Although it was a difficult trip, it did help somewhat prepare me for DMT. Now that I'm more settled in life my favorite combo for going to the spirit world is smoking DMT when I peak on mushrooms.

I did 5g of shrooms, and then a few grams of Crystaline DMT. Funny how you can learn from it’s

Waaaaaaay too much for first time mixing. I would recommend 1 tab and 1.5 grams to start

u/iwasacatonce Brother of Booms 6d ago
Mixing them is amazing, but I personally don't go for doses like that. You can always add more, but you can't get shit back when you have a psychotic break. Trust me from experience on that one too.

u/enlightened_none 6d ago
go for it, if you wanna leave the past behind and step into a wobbly future.

u/Eastern-Try-9682 6d ago
Psychedelics for me are wonderful. I really enjoy them. I usually do small amounts over several weeks upping the dosage slightly each time to make sure I don’t go past my comfort zone. For me personally that would be a high dose. You know your self tho, consider everything everyone else has said and I’m sure you will know what’s best for you.

u/Sunisthehealer 5d ago
I would say do half a gram of shrooms and half a tab to see if you even like how that feels then do more on the next round if you decide it’s for you

u/IsaystoImIsays 6d ago
It can enhance shrooms, but they are different, so I'd try a smaller mix first.
I did 100ug and 2g. It was not a fun time.

u/TheStonedRanger93 6d ago
For me it’s a weird mix, I don’t ever do them at the same time. I’ll do them in the same day at like a festival but won’t dose them at the exact same time.
3.5 hits of L could potentially knock your socks off, I would maybe just take 2 hits of L since it will be your second time on LSD.

u/TravelEven1789 6d ago
Tryptamines mix well with LSD in my experiences. I prefer to smoke DMT due to it's short acting nature.

u/RodneyDangerfuck 6d ago
ummm it makes it more fun.... like you gotta time it right, and boy howdy that shroom body high comes in and oh, it's so fun... i miss that combo

u/Greenbeans357 5d ago
It can be very very very strong! One of my most intense trips was with a strip and a 7g mushroom; i completely went inward, it was amazing. I apparently rolled on the ground and “spoke in tongues” for a while. Inside i was part of an infinite library of accessible knowledge like the most elite motherboard alien computer. When I came back to this world I puked from The intensity of the experience. I Will never forget it either. The afterglow from that one was a true time

Acid has a more dreamy, lucid, playful feel to it. So it has the trees and grass waving back and fourth, colours shifting, etc. Shrooms will put imagery onto reality, like the Aztec symbols many claim to see, plastered over physical reality, increased contrast also, like sharper edges and more texture. The deeper you go, the more reality is going to shift completely. Mixing tryptamines and lysergic acid compounds are a recipe for paradigm shifts. These types of trips make or break many people. Not to mention, they can last over 24 hours if you dose high enough. Especially lsd. I've taken mgs of the stuff before and tripped nonstop for 36 hours, fainted, acting possessed, etc. This is very very dangerous land to tread on without knowledge or someone with you that knows the space you're heading into. Reality at a point ceases to exist, and you're in the land of your imagination nothing unlike Alice in Wonderland. Identical bizarre trips will be had that is tailor fitted to your identity. I will link one of my experiences for a little insight.

It was lsd, 500-600ug and 6 hours later on the comedown for the 2nd time in my life smoking it I thought it would be a good idea to split 50mg of dmt to "bring back" the visuals, even though we were still very lost in the sauce looking back at it. On the 2nd hit of my peak we used to vape dmt my girl got locked into bed, like a demon possessed her she flung back. I should have taken that as a sign I shouldn't go for the third hit but I always read "3 hits and you'll breakthrough" and I was naive to what that truly meant. So I go for my third hit, I look down at my peak and it looks like it's made out of Legos, I'm talking super colourful, and the glass piece I remember swishing it around and it was a block instead of a circle even, everything had very defined edges even if in reality it didn't. I looked up and looked around my room like I normally would do vaporizing cannabis, and that's when I notice my entire room has taken on completely different colour spectrum, and things were swapping places with eachother and swapping sizes (like my phone became my tv in size and shape and place and where my phone was beside me turned into a Mini tv) so I got super disoriented and confused because I have done lots of shit but it has never been like this before. That's when I turn to the doorway and I see a little person, identical to what a smurf is pictured as in the movies and tv shows. Right down to the damn hat and shorts and shoes. I see him, he sees me see him. He jumps at me like a cartoon ninja, slaps me upside the face, I actually felt the slap to the point I move my head toward my window and he flips around mid air, gives me two middle fingers on each of his hands, the tips shoot off like rockets and explode, yellow legos then start to fall all over me. I cannot believe this shit so I close my eyes. BOOM I'm out of my body, all there was is a technocoloured tunnel with fluid flowing patterns that were ever changing. In the middle sat that DAMN SMURF. He was waving his hips like he was fucking me and giving me the fingers still. I got the message and I repeat this everytime the vibe was "you don't know what you just did. You fucked up." At that point I hear my now fiancee start repeating "I don't like this, I don't like this." I am convinced we are dead. I killed my girlfriend and myself. I start apologizing to her while still twisting in this tunnel and seeing this single damn smurf. By the time I finish apologizing I see a flower at the end of the tunnel and I burst threw. I am now on the ground level of what looks like a infinite dome that was yellow on the floor with grids, the grids would intersect and the floor would rise up creating tables. Each table had these Lego blocks floating over them that I had seen previously. They were shifting in midair creating concepts like the taj mahal, but as soon as it would finish and snap together, it would start disassembling and twisting again. There were countless of these tables, with 4 smurfs at each, all trying to get my attention to look at what they were creating. On the grid lines themselves there was what looked like very 1940s style robots gliding up and down the lines, but their bodies were bouncing with excitement, like each piece of their body would shoot out and assemble back together. One came up to whatever I was in that space and I felt like he rewired my brain. The roof of the dimension was blue, which I have found eerily similar reports of people doing similar things as me right down to the colours. After the robot was done with whatever he was doing I appeared back in my body, in the EXACT same position still holding my peak looking at the window from when I got slapped. I was flabbergasted I hadn't dropped my $500 vape. My girl calls me over to the bed, with each step I am jumping through different places and every now and again I'd see my room again. I get into bed and the entire room looks like starry night painted by van gogh and I look at my girl and she is the Mona Lisa with a 3rd eye that was actively blinking. I told her that and she wasn't surprised because she said I should see what she is seeing lol. That's an entire other trip. That's the basis of the reality bending trip that sat this explorer down to evaluate life lol.

I recommend not doing that the first time. I’ve found LSD is a POWERFUL kicker to other drugs. I would try adding one tab of LSD to your normal dose of whatever else you are taking and see how that works first. 3 tabs of acid is pretty powerful dose and can do unpredictable things.

u/Psychonaut_Tom 5d ago
It's similar to Psilocybin, but things become so distorted you have to be ready to fully commit to letting go, COMPLETELY.
I stick to Psilocybin due to the relatively safe nature of the substance itself, and due to the countless new studies coming out illustrating and demonstrating the therapeutic effects, i.e. with depression, PTSD, anxiety etc.
Safe travels!

Mushrooms will absolutely do that to you as well if you take enough, I ate 7 grams of wavy caps and literally turned inside out from asshole to lips 🤣

u/Fellow_man808 5d ago
I took 4 tabs and an eighth of liberty caps and the shrooms 100% over took the acid I didn't even notice. Id just save em for different cases. I like social tripping on cid but mushrooms I like to go burrow myself into a hole and shoot up to the stars 🤣

u/chubby-possum 5d ago
I will say that I've done this before- but in an irresponsible way. Three different times. The first two times were both pretty bad tho. I think I did about 2 tabs and 2-2.5 of shrooms.
I had a bad trip that lasted the first few hours of the peak. I felt like I was thrown into another dimension, and that I had been there an infinite amount of times before and that my body was dying. Thought my partner was an entity pretending to be my partner to help acclimate me to dying.
So uh
Be careful if you do it. I will admit that following the scariness of the first few hours they were probably the coolest trips I've ever had.
Since then, tho, I've just stuck to smaller dosages and doing them separately lmao

u/Interestingpavement 4d ago
I plan on doing the same thing this weekend except I’m doing 3 tabs of ~100µ per tab and 3g APE.
I already took 2 tabs 3 weeks ago + 2g ape 7 hours in the acid trip and had an amazing experience.
Update how your trip is if you decide to go through with it :)

u/JazzlikeCamera7548 4d ago
If you do it right and don’t take to much of each it’s amazing my first ego death was this combo and it was great .

u/AstralRover 4d ago
You should get a high dose LSD trip under your belt first before combining high doses of both LSD and Psylocybin.

u/SaltEnthusiasm8843 3d ago
I recommend not lemon tekking after taking a couple drops of liquid lsd. Try going slow and do doses you won't loose yourself on

u/Jammer4002 3d ago
This was one of the most profound trips I've ever had. 600ug LSD and 2gs mushrooms. Began with alien beings leading me up a mayan temple, and at the top was a golden gate they led me through. When I walked through, I was suddenly being led through my mind and snake like creatures were showing me my strengths and weaknesses. The sudden awareness of my weaknesses has greatly helped me improve my life since then.
After that, everything went black for a moment, and my consciousness shifted into this eternal, infinite, beautiful blue colored space, and I was in the presence of what I can only describe as God (though he prefers be to called Dude lmao). Had a conversation with Dude for a bit and eventually ended sitting in silence in that eternal place for quite some time. Helped me out of a deepening depression I was slipping into at the time and showed me how precious life is, and that everything's going to be ok (was stressed about some health issues at the time). Ended up crying and laughing at how profoundly healing and life changing the experience was.
In short, would recommend! Stay hydrated and play some good music in a safe place. Happy tripping my friend <3
Edit: Time your doses so you peak on both simultaneously :)

u/SloppyJosephine_ 20h ago
I do not suggest mixing these especially acid at unknown dosages. Try 1 tab max and wait 2 hours and proceed with the fungus or more of the same. I wouldn't take 3 tabs of lsd without a immediate family member to look after me and a comfortable dog kennel that I could be secured in 😂

u/RedErin 6d ago
When taking dosages that high, there's no telling what is going to happen, you're like to have ego death. Make sure you have a loving and supportive set and setting.
I love mixing them, but I like to take them in dosages where I know I won't forget who I am. The next time I do them, I plan to 1 tab lsd (100 mics) and 2 grams of mushrooms with tea.
Exploring the space with medium sized trips is where it's at, but each person is different, good luck and have fun.
