Can someone describe what is meant by bodyload or have I just never gotten it?

Body load
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Body load is a term employed by users of psychoactive drugs, and especially users of psychedelics, to describe specific tactile sensations brought on by drug use. Generally, body load is an unpleasant physical sensation that is difficult to describe either in terms of other sensations or in its specific location. (It is usually an "all-over" or "everywhere" sensation, except when accompanied by nausea, as noted below.) Body load is, for most purposes, synonymous with the term "body buzz" (and sometimes "buzzing" in general, when the latter term was used to describe feelings accompanying the onset of effects of such drugs as LSD-25 and psilocin; this usage was more common during the 1960s, however, and a "buzz" now usually means a feeling of light intoxication.)

Attempts at clearer description of the sensation often refer to feelings of restlessness, "internal vibration", and tension, and many people also report experiencing nausea along with, or as a part of, body load. In contrast, many drug users, and particularly users of entactogens like MDMA or of certain particular synthetic phenethylamines (most notably the popular 2C-B) and tryptamines, also often report a "body high" or "body rush", which is similar to body load in many respects but is virtually always considered pleasant.

Users also report that different drugs cause different body load sensations which vary in pleasantness, intensity, duration, et cetera. For example, 2C-B has been described by many users as having pleasant, aphrodisiac-like properties, while 2C-E, 2C-T-2, and several other phenethylamines and tryptamines are reported to cause unpleasant physical sensations regularly; users of these drugs ignore or disengage themselves from these sensations in order to focus on other effects, such as visual patterning, aural distortions, et cetera.

The causes of the subjective experience of body load are unknown. However, one proposed mechanism is the stimulation of serotonergic receptors, particularly those involved in tactile sensation and, equally importantly in many cases where nausea is experienced, those located along the lining of the digestive tract. Serotonin is heavily involved in appetite control, and overstimulation of serotonergic receptors has been shown to cause nausea in, for example, overdoses of SSRIs or MDMA. Since most psychedelics which can cause bodyload are partial serotonin agonists which work by mimicking the structure of serotonin to varying degrees, this connection is likely.

body load is when you took too much acid and it feels like your skin is melting.

I've always used body load in trip reports that I've written to describe the unpleasant physical sensations that psychedelics cause, as compared to the sought-after pleasant sensations. Body Load for me is the nausea, or the teeth clenching, or the pounding heart when I'm lying on the couch.

Things that are generally unpleasant or painful and take away from my mental happiness during a trip.

I don't know if I've ever had that but I do know that when I trip on shrooms I feel different somehow in the tiniest bit like during the end of the trip its like something gets turned off and its basically normal (during the comedown, i'll still be having minor visuals)

this is the perfect description here...albeit TOO 'perfect'



the general consensus of 'body load' is that it is (in essence) taking too much of something, and putting yourself under entirely too much pressure to deal with it

if you've passed yer proverbial 'breaking point' (i.e. you're taking on more then you can handle) then you have, effectively, surpassed your eternal 'body load' (and have, effectively, done more then you can do) and that's all that the term 'body load' refers to

What? No. That doesn't make any sense. Who the fuck told you that? I don't know anybody who uses the phrase that way.

Body load is exactly what the article said, it's the nasty feelings in the body from tripping. I get pretty nasty body loads from dried out mushrooms, for example... even as little as 1.5 grams will give me sensations of nausea and random localized pressure that usually stresses me out at least a little bit. Fresh mushrooms don't give me those feelings, it gives me a feeling more like LSD (a feeling of internal vibration). It has nothing to do with going over your limit, it has to do with the chemical makeup of the drugs and the reactions of the individual and is experienced by the majority of trippers.
