Are shrooms and LSD the same?

Answer 1

No, they are completely different substances.

LSD's main effect is hallucinations.

While PCP does cause hallucinations and is also classified as a hallucinogen, it is also a dissociative and can cause extreme behavior changes.

Here are some negative effects of PCP.

* Disturbing hallucinations and/or delusions * Severe anxiety, paranoia * Severe dissociation, depersonalization * Ataxia (loss of motor coordination) * Severe confusion, disorganized thinking * Psychotic episodes * Physical aggression * Nausea, vomiting * Temporary amnesia * Severe distortion or loss of auditory/visual perception * Decreased heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration (high doses) * Seizures (high doses) * Hangover including dizziness, numbness and lethargy; may last 24 hours or more * Coma (high doses, increased risk when combined with depressants) * Possible neurotoxicity (controversial)

Answer 2

Not at all. Though they can both make you hallucinate, they are very different in nature, origin and effect.

LSD is derived from ergotamine, and it is a semi-synthetic drug. It's effects are purely psychedelic.

PCP is known to be a dissociative hallucinogen, and can sometimes produce violent and strange behavior in the users. It was first developed as an anesthetic, and people under it's influence tend to feel insensitive to pain.

Answer 3

No.

Magic mushrooms(also known as shrooms, and psychedelic mushrooms) are mushrooms of the Psilocybe family which contain the main altering chemical Psilocybin, which occurs naturally within the fungi. The psilocybe family dates back to early as 1 million years ago, and several thousand years ago of reported human use. Psilocybin produces hallucations and an altered state of conciousness.

LSD stands for D-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide-25, a synthetic drug first created in 1938 by Albert Hoffman who was a chemist at Sandoz Labratories in Switzerland at the time. LSD is extracted from Ergot, a fungus that naturally grows on wheat. For LSD to form, Lysergic Acid must be combined with Diethylamide and variety of other compounds to create the molecule known as LSD-25. LSD acts on the nuero receptors in the brain; raising serotonin levels, and producing hallucinations.

LSD and psilocybin are both substances that are used for spiritual and religious use and should not be used just to get high. They are both mind altering chemicals that can change the user's life and raise their sense of awareness and alter their conciousness. They are both psychedelics and hallucinogens, which include a wide variety of other drugs within the class such as DMT, ALD-52, MDMA(a psychedelic, not a hallucinogen), and many others.

Remember, the use the psychedelics is not to be taken lightly and can result in life changing events. Use with care.
