The ground flower was backed into a glass bowl pipe and lit. Of note was a very strong herbal scent of the Lotus smoke, smelling strongly of a scent reminiscent of chamomile or tea. The smoke of the flower was quite harsh, with a strong acrid taste with floral, herbal undertones. The smoke was harsh enough to burn a bit upon contact with the airway. However, l did not have any urge to cough while smoking.
After about 3-5 minutes, the effects of the lotus became noticable. The first noticable effect was a sense of lightheadedness and a feeling of noticable calmness. The feelings continued to grow, as my vision seemed to become enhanced, with noticably brighter and saturated color to my surroundings and a very drowsy, heavy head feeling.
Around the 30 minute mark, the aphrodisiac effects became noticable. l started to feel sexually aroused and with a strong desire to engage in sexual activity. The effects peaked after approximately 1 hour, upon which the visual distortion became very apparent, and mild hallucinations set in. The sexual arousal was very strong at this one hour mark, as was the sense of calmness. I began to feel a shift in disposition, changing from my usual introverted self to feeling quite social and gregarious.
The effects of the lotus lasted about 4 hours in total. The entire experience was quite pleasant, and cemented N. caerulea as a regular inclusion in my recreational smoking routine.
