Opinions - First Time on LSD: How Does It Compare To Mushrooms?

[dwtk]

SWIM has been researching for some time now on every drug he can think of, particularly LSD and Shrooms. SWIM was planning on trying Salvia soon, but now he isn't too sure if that's what he wants.

SWIM isn't really interested in shrooms because of their shadiness. The fact that they cause vomiting is enough to drive SWIM away.

SWIM wants to go on a journey. He's not trying to "trip balls" and go crazy. He wants to learn something and really go on a mystickal trip.

LSD really interests him, although it seems as though it may be too intense. SWIM has always been afraid of having a bad trip although he's never taken a hallucinogen. What would you recommend for SWIM?

Is shrooms a good place to start off? Is it less intense? SWIM is going to smoke shrooms for a less-intense 10-min experiment first (even though it isn't nearly as powerful). Maybe there's a certain LSD amount he should take first that is strong enough for him to get used to it, but not powerful enough to have a horrifying trip?

Thanks!
