Hello, I'm interested in trying blue lotus. I just want some information first. For example, if I had a choice between dried flowers or an extract, which should I get (I intend to smoke it)? Also, how long do the effects last? Thanks for any information you can give.
I don't think smoking it will do any good. Try making a tea. You just looking for an alcohol alternative?
smoking it is bomb, it tastes good, and mixes really well in doobs; leaf or extract are both good, obviously extract is stronger. tea is good too.
the extracts are powder, really hard to smoke them and arent that good for making tea. even though the potency is lower, get some dried flowers. really good for making tea and easy to smoke them.
I smoke blue lotus stems with weed sometimes, I find it removes a lot of the anxiety and paranoia, but this could be placebo.
feels good'. last time i had tried Tribal Trance- which had mugwort and lions tail, but this, Hazy Dayz, has that plus Blue Lotus. definitely stronger, feels very euphoric, relaxing, spiritual.
why don't you just buy the herbs yourself instead of buying smoking blends? i'm sure it's much cheaper.
i'm relatively new to kinds of smokeables, and i can't get them where i live. it's a bus ride to where I buy them, and i don't know of any place that sells just the herbs. but this store has good reviews and i've heard good things, so i'm trying each blend one at a time, noting their subtle notes and differences, and learning the effects of each and which i like better.
BLUE LOTUS COMMON NAMES Blue Lotus; Blue Water Lily; Egyptian Lotus; Sacred Narcotic Lily of the Nile Nymphaea ampla: White Lotus Nelumbo nucifera: Sacred Lotus; Pink Lotus EFFECTS CLASSIFICATION Sedative DESCRIPTION The dried flowers of certain species of Nymphaea and Nelumbo are sometimes smoked, made into a tea, or macerated in alcohol for a mild sedative effect. Blue Lotus is a mild relaxing herb on its own, and a wonderful relaxing potentiator for many plants and substances. It is frequently featured in smoking blends. It is very effective when mixed. Blue lotus mixes well with: Alcohol Cannabis Shesha Kanna Dagga Dagga & Salvia (very popular commercial combination) many others... When mixed with substantial amounts of cannabis, some claim it simply feels like smoking more cannabis. However, instead of providing a more edgy/high type of experience, it is more relaxing and calm. It is ideal for treating paranoia while high, although it will only increase the potency. In the Homer's Odyssey, there are lotus eaters who eat Blue Lotus. They have gone crazy, presumably from eating the plant.
