    I had a similar experience. Acid was chill. Felt great, music was wonderful. Snapped me out of my depression enough to make an appointment with my psychiatrist and get back on treatment. Downside was how long it lasts, mostly after you’ve come down and are unable to sleep for ages.

    Shrooms, on the other hand… I remember rolling on the floor, chewing on my desk, and completely forgetting who I was - but I could sort of remember a friend of mine who had amnesia from a bad motor accident, so I reasoned that I must be them. Plus I felt nauseous the whole time. Maybe a lower dosage would have been better but it’s not like I was trying to take enough to see god or anything. People react differently to everything, after all.

    Wasn’t traumatic or anything, but wasn’t helpful either. It was an interesting experience to have but I would not want to repeat it.

        Lemon tek, shroom tea with as much fungal material removed as possible, or if you have the stomach for it chewing really well and chewing on fresh ginger afterwards.

        All three ways have dramatically helped my imaginary friend with their nausea.

        Edit: Same imaginary friend had the following to say about acid - if you’re taking a full on, deep diving dose, take the day off and do it in the morning. You’ll probably be good to sleep at a decent time v. doing it in the afternoon/evening. Good trips often require some planning - that’s why they’re called trips!

      Lol, what doses did you take with shrooms?! Those must be gigantic! My highest dose was 8g and for like 2 hours I couldn’t see the real world, only trippy visuals from my brain which was really fun.

      You should definitely dose lower, somewhere around 3g is my preferred dose for an intense visual/introspective/enjoyable trip without going over board.

        It wasn’t enormous, but it was my first time on shrooms after trying several other psychedelics. I don’t remember the exact dosage, I think I had ground it up and put it in some small capsules to make measuring doses easier but I don’t think I ever tried the rest since the first wasn’t very pleasant. But like I said, people react differently, brain chemistry is complex.

        Anyway, I far preferred the feel of LSD. But I haven’t taken either in many years at this point, I don’t have enough free time for it, lol. My main problem with all of them is the time investment.

          Yeah, I totally understand! I do them every few months or something and clear an evening for them, but they don’t really affect me that much.
