so i was reading up on body load and realized this is what was happening to me when i took a large amount for shrooms for my first time, i cant really explain it but it reminded me of a migraine and how you sometimes get a numb feeling thought out your body and weird sensations only it wasn't a numb feeling on shrooms it was just a odd feeling as if i had poisoned my self in a way.

This will sound strange but the feeling reminded me of the fractals that i was seeing only the fractals were like a migraine aura traveling threw my body, sounds a little odd but i was on shrooms so what can i say! haha

can anyone relate to this?
 
I find mushrooms to be heavy with body load.

They are also the psychedelic that provokes the most anxiety in me; which is where I think that body load comes from. Also the fact that I find mushrooms really don't agree with my GI; they seem quite indigestible.

Can't really relate to fractal migraines though.

I would like to try extracting psilocybin from mushrooms with alcohol and trying that though.

Mushrooms more than any psychedelic give that straight up "poisoned" feeling.
 
They give me intense nausea whenever I eat an eighth+ and that turns into a huge body load, but after a while I start to love the feeling of being "poisoned", much like how I dislike the coke drip at first but once I'm yakked and my throat goes numb I love the shit
 
I definitely experience some discomfort as well with all that fungal matter sitting in my stomach. I don't really get migranes though just some slight nausea. I've noticed that most often in order to remedy this I simply need to take awareness of my discomfort and take a proactive step to make my trip better, whether this is smoking a bowl or just taking a walk. I've never once vomited during any of my 30+ mushrooms trips.
Mind over matter at it's best. :)
 
its strange that your getting migraines from the mushrooms because psilocybin has been known to help people with cluster headaches. As far as the body load goes i get that to , a little pot usually helps me out. Most of the body load comes from the anxiety and if you can do something to like take a nice walk like Delta said it should help alot. Sometimes just changing the area your tripping at works wonders :)
 
in general i think i prefer LSD because shrooms do make me feel mushy.. nausea, dizziness, and an overall fungusy feel in my entire body...
 
Huh, about migraines I think I may know what you mean. If I'm having a tension filled trip I'll certainly get a very uncomfortable tension headache. One time on a high-ish dose of LSD the neural grating was really starting to wear me down and I was very tense all over the place, I ended up getting quite a tension headache because of it.
 
I didn't mean i got as migraine, i meant a had similar effect which reminded me of a migraine which could of just been me over reacting to the body load thinking i was going to get a migraine, it was a poisoned feeling, i may have had this worse than most because i was with people who were tripping once and they kept saying they felt as if they had poisoned them selves this was before i had done any drugs so it was deep in my mind so maybe that could a of been something to do with it.

Even with the tea i had the body load, only i had a few sips and went for a walk just to make it a bit more interesting so i wasnt quite tripping just did the brain scrambling thing and the fractals i see everywhere like normal when i trip.

Funny thing is i was gonna have the whole tea i made which was 8 dried grams haha woulda been good fun, to bad it went off cos i left it out and by that time the seasonw as over haha oh well :)
 
I also would get A LOT of body load on mushrooms. It sort of reminded me of eating too much herb but I was nowhere near as paralyzed I just felt heavy/lazy while bemushroomed.

I remember the first time I took them I was tripping hard with my friend and coming down and we wanted to close a window in his room and it took us over 30 minutes just to get up and do this! This was on 2.0 dried grams.

On 1.5 or maybe a tiny bit more I had a lot less body load and at one point I was running around a field at night with a glowstick with my friend and we smoked some herb.
 
Funny that ppl mention they feel like they are being poisoned. that is excatly what is happening. That could be the reason you get a stomach ache, shrooms do it to me everytime and im a vet of tripping. Large amounts of acid give me the migrane feeling a nice glass of cold tea does the trick. it feels like it cools the brain. Vegan I think thats what you meant also.
 
I don't know, maybe body load is a term I am using incorrectly. Things were much simpler before the internet, we did not have all this knowledge to encumber us ;-).

Maybe someone can correct me if I am using the term wrong, or if it is a catch all phrase.

It seems some people are describing things like "nausea" whereas other people are describing heaviness which I agree is part of doing shrooms but not even close to the level of ingesting a lot of marijuana. I see those as usually two different things, although both to me can in fact be very unpleasant.

To me body load is something like 2C-E where I have this sense of uncomfortable heaviness and physical unease that seems less a part of the effect and more a part of the side effect.

On mushrooms I may experience a brief sense of physical nausea, but it is from the ingestion act, and passes quickly, and is not part of the actual "drug experience"

After mushrooms kick in I feel this intense sense of "intoxication", and also moments of "heaviness" but it is not something I would describe as "body load" but rather a part and parcel of the total experience.

On LSD I could have moments of uncontrollable hilarity and be inclined to also need to move around. On mushrooms I could have moments of uncontrollable hilarity where I am compelled to lie on the floor in a fungal stupor. Alcohol I could have moments of uncontrollable bad judgment where I am compelled to lie with an ugly woman I just met in a drunken stupor.

All have their own "body" effects, and especially alcohol where not only do you wake up hungover as shit, you also may have to gnaw your arm off when you look at the coyote woman next to you. But that is not really how I would define "body load". "Body load" to me is say the 2C-E feeling where I have to go lay on the bathroom floor, not because of a sense of stupor, but because it is comfortingly cool and reassuringly near the toilet.

Does that make any sense?

mm - i have to disagree - mushrooms do not actually poison you - that is a misconception and a rumor - psilocybin is no more a 'poison' than LSD or mescaline..

True.

One thing with the shrooms I usually get are those god awful yawns on the come up. Yawn and yawn but there's no satisfaction in it. That usually lasts a short period.
 
oh ya - that sounds very familiar.. short constricted yawns - ahh - i see 'shortness of breath' is listed as a known side effect of LSD...
 
Funny I was tripping with my friends and they say, yeah mushrooms are a poison that's how they work, but it just aint true! I should've told em to do some reading on the subject, but whilst tripping it was easier to keep quiet ;)

As to the body load and nausea, don't really get either that much. Don't eat loads at once, maybe 40 libs tops but I enjoy the body rushing feeling. Also, if shrooms make you tired, sedated etc, just do a hippy flip with MD (or Meph, Meth etc). It's loads better, you have more energy and it softens the anxiety I get with shrooms a great deal. Ahhh good stuff <3
 
i think part of the body load OP is describing is simply part of the psychedelic experience, the "face melting" or hallucination of touch and temperature that are vastly different from expected sensations. opening the third eye, brain falling out the back of your skull, etc... activation of neurons in a cascading fractal manner causes some crazy physical feelings
 
I got the yawns like hell once. Before I knew it I was peaking and pretty much forgot I was tripping balls. I told my friend to get out of my room because I was trying to go to sleep. It seemed like the only thing I could do was to try and sleep. The rest is another story.
