What is Blue Lotus?
Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), also known as the blue water lily, the sacred blue lily, lotus nymphaea, and the blue Egyptian lotus, is a
freshwater aquatic plant that blooms between four to six inches across and is native throughout northern and central Africa.
What are the Effects of Blue Lotus?
People usually smoke blue lotus, vaporize its extract, or drink it as tea. When it comes to anything with psychoactive effects, experiences can vary from person to person. However, most who consume this lily describe it as:
- Relaxing
- Mildly euphoric
- Promoting vivid/lucid dreams
- Mildly "sedating"
Compared to THC, the most active compound of cannabis, the effects of blue lotus are going to be much more mild. However, across social media platforms such as Reddit, many enthusiasts enjoy mixing blue lotus with their cannabis flower.
Is Blue Lotus Legal?
Yes, as of this writing, blue lotus is legal in every state besides Louisiana. Blue lotus is nowhere on the list of controlled substances as per the Controlled Substance Act, which means that it is federally legal, and you can carry it across state lines. This flower's widespread legality is one of many blue lotus benefits.
When traveling around the country with a blue lotus product infused with hemp-derived cannabinoids, you should consider the hemp laws of where and how to travel to avoid any legal difficulties. And under no circumstances should you travel with a blue lotus product outside of the country.
Is Blue Lotus Safe?
You should consult your doctor before trying blue lotus. Do not consume blue lotus if you:
- Are driving
- Operate heavy machinery
- Are pregnant or trying to become pregnant
- Are breastfeeding
Blue lotus, just like hemp-derived cannabinoids, should only be enjoyed responsibly by adults 21 and over. Though the blue lotus flower is considered by many to be "traditional medicine" for "improving sleep," it is important to note that the Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated such claims. If you have medical issues such as insomnia, consult a licensed physician.
How to Smoke Blue Lotus?
Smoking blue lotus flower is as easy as smoking cannabis. You can take a dried flower and roll it up in a joint or blunt, plus you can smoke it in a conventional pipe or water pipe. As stated earlier, many enthusiasts enjoy sprinkling bits of blue lotus flower onto their cannabis for an added relaxing effect.
If you are considering blue lotus flower smoking, there are two main factors that you should consider. The first is the pungency of the smell. If you are smoking blue lotus indoors, the scent will stick around much longer and will be harder to get rid of compared to cannabis. For this reason, we recommend smoking blue lotus outside.
A second consideration you should be aware of when smoking blue lotus is the taste. When combusted, blue lotus has a pretty strong taste, and if you use glassware, it can affect the taste of subsequent sessions afterward. For cannabis purists, you may want to consider rolling blue lotus into a joint if you're going to avoid having to clean your bowl later.
Nonetheless, with a blue lotus disposable, you can still reap the faster benefits of smoking without the drawbacks of intense flavor or a strong, lingering scent.
