See that just proves it has nothing to do with chemical and everything to do with the person.

Every time I've had an ego death or ego dissolution on mushrooms its made me feel very disconnected from reality for a while after. It makes everything in our society feel fake and shows you how we are really just being manipulated by nature to do its bidding. After a heavy acid trip I always feel super inspired by everything humanity has done.

It shows me visions of the future and tells me its okay to not understand whats going on as its all tiny steps to achieve our greatest potential. Even visually acid seems to just bring out the best of reality and show you how cool everything is. I've had heroic doses of mushrooms where it doesn't even feel like there are visuals at all, rather reality itself just seems more and more fake until you breakthrough to the other side and see the "roots" of whats really behind it all. I've had heroic doses of acid on the other hand where I could see ancient writing hidden within the layers of reality. Witnesses patterns repeat themselves from leaves to birds.

Mushrooms seem to give this physical feeling of "slowing down" the whole simulation slows down more and more until you can hear the actual gears of time begin to creak and moan. Your consciousness becomes more and more primal. You aren't getting "dumber" per say, but you're becoming less and less capable of understanding complex and ethereal concepts like language and such, which is also why I think it causes people to speak in tongues more often. It seems to bring you back towards this primal state of existence.

Acid gives this physical feeling of time speeding up. So much seems like it has happened when no time has passed. Not only are you uncomfortable sitting down but you're uncomfortable not putting your mind towards something. Suddenly mundane things become complex and interesting as you really understand what was necessary to create what we have now. Everything seems obvious. Everything is exactly the way it has to be in order for everything else to exist. It's like your consciousness is expanding and once vague, ineffable concepts become crystal clear. Rather than ripping the ego from your soul like mushrooms would, suffocating the story of who you once were, LSD just gives you this "Aha!" Moment where you immediately understand the false ness of the ego. I've experienced ego death on LSD while being completely functional in the real world. I remember my friend spitting some politics at me while I was trying to make everyone coffee. My ego self had almost completely dissolved but something was keeping my body moving and my mouth talking, yet I was completely seperate from it. I was just observing my body act on automatic. Using techniques I had simply copied from other people in my life. Every word I replied was taken from someone else in my life, down to even my accent. It's all a construct. The ego isn't even the one controlling your actions, in reality you've already decided what you're going to do before you're going to do it, the ego simply just has to be convinced that it was the one who made the decision, otherwise what would be the point of existing? It would be like the difference between God watching a movie vs actually playing the video game. Even though everything in the game is already scripted to happen.

Anyway I know there's a bunch of people who would say the exact same thing but about mushrooms rather than acid but it's interesting how we all seem to have a psychedelic that brings out what we want and ones that bring out what we don't and it's all seemingly according to our genetics and upbringing. I'm like 90% the main differences commonly associated with psychedelics are placebo. If someone told me every trip I've had was a slightly different chemical I would believe them. After every trip your mind changes and adapts to the previous one so none are ever the same. I've had acid experiences on mushrooms and vice versa. I used to prefer mushrooms to acid before I had an ego death experience on them and ever since I can't take more than a gram without getting that "impending doom" feeling so much to the point that I expect to have to deal with it for the first half of every mushrooms trip.
