"Body Load" Please Explain * 2
    #29719832 -

I am assuming that the term "body load" refers to the feeling of heaviness and that some people don't like it. I find it rather enjoyable being stuck there with the experience running the show. I had guillain-barré syndrome when I was younger so I know what true paralysis is...this ain't it.

My sister on the other hand did her second guided trip and hated every minute of it due to the physical feelings of the trip and "wasting an entire day". I told her not every trip is sunshine and unicorn farts and mental/physical discomfort may be a part of it and roll with it. She didn't like my advice.

I have read that lemon tek and other things can lessen the effects of body load, true y/n

physical discomfort, including nausea.

this is a problem that typically crops up when consuming raw dried shrooms at low or medium doses. making tea and discarding the mushroom material can greatly help with this, but shortens the duration of the trip. otherwise the trick is to take enough that you are tripping too hard to even notice the body load.

Thanks for the clarification. Raw do not bother me at all. I would suggest the tea method to my sister, but she is a special snowflake and tossed her shrooms because of the physical unease of her last experience. I think she is doing about 2.5 to 3g of dried as it is and more she would probably have a psychotic break. I love her to death, but she is becoming our mother.

it can also vary between grows. 2.5g of one batch of shrooms might give me greater discomfort than a different batch. it's highly variable

if your sister is that put off by it though, i'd just leave it alone

Yep I get that. I just did a scooby snack size of 1 gram a couple days ago and had a lovely mini trip off my homegrowns. Had visuals, and some insights into things I find important. I will definitely not do it before bed though as my mind was awake pretty much all night.

She just told me there was a lot of nausea and "perspective was seriously distorted"...duh

I think her dose was too high for her

when physical comfort is challenged, there is little refuge for the mind.

some people think that it is about mind over matter, and I think that is not true.

tea helps since it introduces less fibre, but the serotonin receptors in the gut will react - in a crampy fashion, and if that gets the person's attention, it can block other experience for a while, but it passes pretty soon.

the lower dose is good for making friends with the psychedelic effects, even your mother would like it that way. start with just half - but if she tossed hers, well then start with a small  dose of your stuff.

I agree that you have to have a holistic mindset since everything is connected, gut, mind and body. I am not sure why the therapist sitting with her wouldn't know these kinds of things, but I was calling BS when the therapist said she could tell the amount of actives by the weight of a given strain. I don't think I can change her mind to try a lower dose of dried...very rigid person.

If someone isn't 100% into it then I never talk about it again. They aren't for everybody and the last thing I want personally is for the person to spend their inevitable bad trip obsessing about how I fucked them over and pressured them into doing shrooms again after they already said they didn't like it

True, but she had a really great experience the first time she did it aside from the body load. I would never force my experiences on her as the be all end all of how hers should be, just trying to help her.

the therapist sounds like a bit of a charlatan, how much did the professional certificate cost anyway. people used to earn the shingle they hang at their office: study, apprenticeship, days of duty, and hang the sign marking them as professionals.

I have the feeling that if and when this becomes legal there will be a lot of shady shit going on not in people's best interest.

My recommendation is to dance through it or like walk really fast or just do something physical for the first hour. Distracts you from comparing what you felt at normal to while tripping. You'll still feel a little nauseated and weird but you might sorta forget what normal felt like
