Oh so you get more insight via LSD?
I heard DMT is the mind opener.
Should I go to a nice clean forest somewhere with a mate?
Or should I maybe stay inside.
If it's a nice, warm, sunny day, then go outside. If not, staying indoors can be fun too. The thing with acid though is that (unlike with DMT) I get a lot of pent up energy and I can get pretty restless if I don't have a change in scenery. With DMT (even long-acting DMT with the help of MAOIs) I usually perceive little desire to (get up and) move or change environments. Also one of the big benefits of being inside is that you can listen to music.
In terms of differences between the two, the list (from my perspective) can be quite large. LSD has a specifically profound impact on my thought process. Specifically I've noticed, it seems to cause my thoughts to split at every turn so that practically every utterance takes on a variety of (often humorous) meanings. DMT on the other hand is more likely (for me) to cause a rapid-fire of thoughts originating from god knows where.
I've noticed that my LSD visuals are usually extremely symmetrical. Kinda similar to those old psychedelic video shot style where the image is fractured into 4 symmetrical converging/diverging quadrants. There appears to be a defined, regular and symmetrical grid upon which all other visuals are imposed. Even when looking at textures like snow, dirt, cement, etc...where the granules appear to be arranged into fractal clumps, even these open-eyed clusters seem to fall on the grid (often invisible in itself, but easily inferred if one knows what to look for). While I have seen grids of various sorts on DMT, the strict sense of symmetry does not appear to be conserved. With DMT, various scenes and idiosyncratic visuals seem to be much more the norm. There is a strong sense of interdimensionality and holography.
The bodily sensations also strike me as pretty different. LSD body load can be rather uncomfortable for me a lot of the time and can sometimes be the source of anxiety. DMT on the other hand is often physically euphoric or you may lose bodily awareness (also pleasant). When I take LSD, I usually like to smoke DMT towards the peak of it. The DMT lasts just a short as it usually does, and for those 5-10 minutes while it's in action, all that negative body load from the acid just fades away while all visuals become more vivid, colorful, organized and meaningful. As the DMT starts to fade, the acid body load creeps back in, the DMT visuals fade and I'm usually back to wherever it was I left off right before smoking the DMT. I can't recommend combining these two enough though. It seems to be surprisingly more manageable for most than either of the two taken separately, and has facilitated some of the most angelic, celestial, heavenly experiences I've ever had.
