Blue lotus effects on a modern world
The exotic Egyptian blue lotus flower is one of those plants that had been discovered and considered magical by ancient people in several very different parts the world. Revered by the ancient Egyptians not only as a party drug but also a powerful sacrament.
Blue lotus effects people as powerfully today as it did back then. The ancient Egyptians among other ancient cultures, truly prized this flower and possibly treasured it beyond any other wild plants of the area. The ancient Mayan people also revered blue lotus flower as seen reflected in the remains of their art and religious totems.
The blue lotus flower was traded far and wide and became a part of cultures as far as SE Asia where it developed into a powerful symbol in all forms of Buddhism. When so many people fall in love with a plant for such a long times, it’s a good sign that there is a lot of value in this plant even if modern science (and persecution lobbyists) have yet to catch up.
Blue lotus tincture and alcohol
In ancient Egypt, blue lotus effects were often attained through the mixing of the lotus flowers with wine. Either a blue lotus tincture was consumed along with the wine, or the flowers would be put directly into the wine and left to steep. After allowing the concoction to sit for several weeks, the psychoactive compounds of the blue lotus are essentially absorbed by the alcohol.
The flowers are finally filtered out and what you have left is a euphoria inducing elixir. The concoction is unique as compared with the stand-alone effects of each of the two substances. When consumed in this manner, the combination would have a narcotic and mind-bending effect on the ancient users. Alcohol has been known to partner with blue lotus so well that the two are considered by many to have a symbiotic relationship.When used concurrently, alcohol hits more vigorously and the blue lotus effects come on dynamically stronger. For millennia the Egyptians and the Mayans alike were known to party with lotus wine . The elixir could be so powerful that it was often utilized as an entheogen as well. Specifically the potion was used as a tool to shift awareness in line with a god’s in order to make communication.
Blue lotus high
After much speculation, blue lotus has recently been proven to contain the psychoactive alkaloid apomorphine, as well as nuciferine in some varieties. Both of these compounds act upon the central nervous system and in the right dose can ‘get the user high’. The blue lotus effects have been likened to a natural MDMA-type intoxication, especially when combined with alcohol.
However, it is my belief that because of the constant bombardment of chemicals we deal with in the world of today, the subtlety of the effects from plants like the blue lotus flower can feel very mild to many of us.
Luckily the world of today also has solutions to this modern chemical tolerance. It’s fairly simple for example, to perform extractions of plants that target active alkaloids while removing many of the non-effective fatty oils and fibers of the plants.These concentrated blue lotus products are sold as blue lotus extract and come in extract powder or pre-made capsules of varying strengths from 10X-200X.
Another way of boosting the effect of blue lotus flower is through the making of lotus tea. You can use pure organic flower or lotus flower that has been enhanced with blue lotus extract.
 Smoking Lotus flowers
Even if the blue lotus effects on the central nervous system were non-existent, it’s possible that people would have smoked this flower for ages anyway. The scent and taste is very delicate and lightly sweet making it a delicious addition to plain tobacco leaf or other common smokable plants.
However because of its intoxicating properties, the flower has very notable been smoked by people from everywhere since ancient times. When sourcing blue lotus flower for smoking today, it is important to find organic blue lotus flower. This ensures that you are not inhaling pesticides or other potentially dangerous impurities.
Conclusion
For many thousands of years blue lotus flower has been adorned as a special plant. Although largely forgotten in recent history, it is slowly reclaiming the limelight in modern cultures of the west. It is my hope that for years to come we will be able to enjoy these re-emerging magical plants so revered by the ancient peoples.
Many of the sacred visionary plants esteemed by cultures across the lands have recently been demonized and condemned by threat of imprisonment or even death. Let us not allow this to happen with the few remaining power plants, like the sacred blue lotus flower. This should be the duty of all of us who care for the earth’s plants and our freedom to interact with the natural world with which we are intimately woven.Â
