Anyone experienced with Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea)?

[universecannon]

How does it combine with psychedelics? Do you prefer to smoke it, or drink it?
I'm interested in using it to relax

Never used it but this reminded me of a cool post I made a long time ago discussing this plant.

Tastes like sh*t, so mix it with something but I like mixing it with other herbs in my nighttime tea from time to time.

Its also a main ingredient in my favorite changa blend, adding a nice hynogogic ambiance to the experience.

Following this post. I've been curious about trying it either as tea or wine infusion.

It seems to be even more widespread this yt channel has so much about it

Beautiful and wonderful smelling flowers. Tried it various times in tea or smoking and can't say I ever felt much.

I've never tried it. What do you want to get out of it?

Oohh very cool! This is a great read so far thank you

Relaxation I find LSDMT most useful lately, by far. But LSD is unfortunately quite stimulating for me compared to any other psychedelics and it can take a few hours to relax. Several things help but I've heard this plant in particular can work well

Thanks for the feedback everyone

Relaxation

Mint tea. Valerian root tea. Catnip tea. It worked very well for me made me relaxed. Those are the ones I've tried.

Chamomile, hops, Californian poppy, passionflower, lime (linden) flower, oats, skullcap, and lavender can all exert some level of calming or de-stressing effect as well.

I love blue lotus I used to drink the extract infused with wine. Nice calming, sedative,very dreamy buzz with slight visual effects in large doses.

Think about about to get some today to mix with "rhino dart" kava for my nerves/sleep...

The wine infusion is pleasant enough, especially if you have good company with whom to share it.

From blue lotus I once made a nice tea.

It's effects to me and others who took that tea was that it resembled the effects of alcohol a lot, like mild body euphoria and a bit dizzy in the head, and it also included a slight alcohol like hangover the day after.

Due to those hangover after effects, I did little experimenting with it after that.


Kind regards,

Has anyone made an ethanol extract and then eaten the resulting resin? How does that compare with soaking in wine?

 

[Voidmatrix]

I often combine extract extract with kirkii, rheedii tincture, sleepytime tea, and rosemary tincture. So there's a daily practice with blue lotus as well.

Do you use this to elicit vivid dreams, or just for a good night's sleep?

Sort of, it's complicated.

You see, for various reasons, I don't like dreaming because most of my dreams are nightmares or just extremely uncomfortable. And I almost always know that I am dreaming but that does little to help me navigate the spaces I end up in. It makes me wonder if some aspect of dreaming is not completely within my head and control. My dreams are contributing factors to my morning anxiety.

At the same time, I'm a psychonaut, I can't help but be curious about the space. So there is a desire to navigate and engage dreamtime. But there's relative anxiety around it. They all lend themselves to better sleep (in conjuction with 5-HTP CBN, and 25mg hydroxizine). Sleep is a mercurial and illusive thing for me.

A tip that can maybe help, I had the same problem all my life, most of the time i dream it would be uncomfortable and sometimes almost traumatic, until i started using rue daily (about a year ago) and i never had a bad dream ever since, and i dream pretty much everyday, i highly recommend if your anxiety is stressful.

Oh, my friend, I've been there. A few years of daily rue. Didn't really help with dreams that much, unfortunately.
