– Body awareness and tactile sensations
– Possible gravitational pressure sensation
Primary Physical Effects
Based on reported experiences:
Muscular Effects:

Potential Causes for Heaviness
1. Physical Grounding Nature
Unlike stimulants like LSD, San Pedro tends to be more physically grounding rather than mentally stimulating.
2. Sympathomimetic Activity
The alkaloids can trigger catecholaminergic activity, leading to increased focus on physical sensations.
3. Dosage Factors
– Capsule too strong (microdose sensitivity)
– Individual tolerance variations
– Possible mild overdose effects
4. Traditional Preparation Context
In traditional use, heavy physical sensations often occur as part of a process that may lead to lighter states later.
