Blue lotus? Any success stories? (Nelumbo nucifera or Nymphaea caerulea)

[DJ_Truthseek]

Anyone have any success with theses alone. I tried water lily petals in wine but could of been the booze effect. I am looking into getting and absolute oil or extract. Any success stories or experience?

soak about 12 grammes into 1/2 bottle red wine for a few days, warm it up on a cooker when you use it, eat the plant material, drink the wine, and have 2 glasses of wine to drink as well. It kicks in with pretty nice happy giggly euphoria, drinking 2 bottles of red wine is damn easy so watch it...look out for amazing dreams that night or the next....

This entheogen loves alcohol, and will promise you fun times and viagra effects as well. Its an erotic happy substance when you get to know her.....

The rather pricey x20 extract( Blue Lotus) is good for making a tea, not even that bad taste either. There's definitely an effect from it, though subtle. The best I could describe it as is : mild opiate, with faint notes of GHB, though thankfully it's not addictive like those two.

The 20X extracts that arcanum mentions is the only way I've truly gotten effects from the lotuses (I had blue and white), and then it was with wine as well. The effects for me were pure hypnotic, nothing opiate-like or even so euphoric. Slept rather well, better than wine alone - wine puts me to sleep but it's usually not a refreshing sleep. With this blue lotus extract it was very refreshing. Don't remember dreams, but I was smoking loads of cannabis at the time.

I forgot about them basically and gave the white to some people I was hanging out with and they went to bed like ROCKS!, only to wake up about 3 hours later looking as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as I'd ever seen these kids.

So, it's a great botanical hypnotic! Can't say much else for it... and those 20X extracts just weren't worth the price, especially since it's probably just an ethanol-extract ground into a powder (maybe not, I could be wrong). I had a "3-lotus blend" of all three, didn't do much - but when I smoked it on achuma I had this visionary experience of being in ancient egypt floating down the nile! The only Egypt-trip I've ever had... but, it was more likely the cactus causing it! Not to say the lotus DIDN'T, but you know... :lol:

For me its definatelyy the flowers over extracts. And it's made for adding to wine more than anything else. With just 12 grammes of flowers a bottle of red wine is potentiated in terms of becoming euphoric yet slightly stoning. It really makes me laugh a lot, something wine alone isn't as good for, plus wine seems to go down with ease. Drinking 1 1/2 litres of wine is normal when lotus is about.

This is the way they did it in Eygpt i believe. It's also erotic and causes powerful viagra effects and horniness. A real potion for getting in the mood, and having awesome sexual fun i guess.

The extract also works well with wine, but regular plant is best.

--As for smoking and teas, expect very weak effects. It's a wine enhancer IMO. 8)

I gotto say, I also have been succesful with wine soaked lotuses or lillies on white wine for about 24-48 hours, but I strained and drunk. We drunk this bottle between two of us and could see a very laughing and content addition to the wine.
Now I would like to manage effect without alcohol as I don't like to drink to much of it.
What is this oil extract, is it oil extracted from seeds ?

 

[christian]

I dunno about the oil. I only have bought the flowers or extracts from e bay. I found some really good deals. Blue lotus can be really economical.

Been looking into this lately. What are the benefits of using red over white wine? And does anyone know of its long term effects?

The Erowid vault article is somewhat lacking in useful information.

Blue lotus marries well with red wine. however it's best in red wine that's an easy drinking type. Avoid heavy merlots and sauvignons. Australian red is good, as are other table wines.

It tastes horrid in white wine.
