No ego death or ego dissolution on (real) LSD

Interesting. I find mescaline more stimulating but at the same time more (paradoxically) relaxing and less impairing. In my case very low doses of LSD often result in more tension than higher ones because I unwillingly resist them more.

I used to get very high amounts of tension from 2C-B until my first MDMA experience. Something clicked there and from then on it seems I've learned to relax on stimulant psychedelics.
I'm excited to try 2C-B eventually. I should clarify that by physical tension I mostly meant actual chest discomfort but maybe that was anxiety related? Not sure as I'm not to familiar with mesc. I definitely can have a hard time relaxing on LSD, but even although I'm often quite stimulated, I can still do precise physical tasks quite well
 
High dose mescaline has a body load worse than LSD IME. It might be easier mentally (but that is debatable honestly) but physically it’s rougher for me.
It seems to be very personal. But I wasn't talking about body load, but about how physically functional it is, which I interpret to mean how well one can physically function under its effects. Mescaline has a higher body load, I agree, but to me it's not something that interferes with physical function, even at high doses (and I'm talking mostly about cactus resin, with an even higher body load for me, although I get almost no nausea). Whereas with moderate to high doses of LSD I lose coordination and my bodily perception is distorted in ways that make it difficult to engage in anything requiring any precision, even just hiking in an irregular terrain. Not to mention how disorienting it is.

TBH I find 2C-B lackluster. To me, its bright side is being an excellent tool to learn how to engage your mind better to go deeper, and that ends up transferring into other psychedelics. I intend to make a thread about it because I've had many experiences with it this year and I've learned to get more out of it.

I seem to be hardheaded with phenethylamines, so it may be different for you.
 
LSD will probly warp me too much at higher doses compared to mesc…but both I find suitable enough at lower doses for surfing and snowboarding. It’s not something I consider with tryptamines. I have walked insanely long distances on mescaline.

At a normal low dose though LSD feels more functional than most anything while still penetrating.
