DOSE:
1.5 g oral Lotus/Lily - Nymphaea nouchali var caerulea (extract)
  3 glasses oral Alcohol - Beer/Wine  
Interested to try blue lotus in the supposedly traditional manner, I purchased 5g of 50x extract from a reputable online seller. It came as a brown powder and smelled slightly like some kind of spice/seasoning. Having read about how many people have weak effects or none at all, I decided to dissolve the whole packet in a 750mL bottle of cheap red wine, 13% abv (no sense wasting expensive stuff).

Even after shaking for more than 10 min, there were still a few specks of sediment on the bottom of the bottle, so I think it’s safe to say the wine was saturated.

T+0:00 – I start with one glass (regular wine glass size). The taste isn’t bad at all. I tried a sip of the wine before I added the lotus, and I could definitely notice the difference in taste, but it wasn’t bad.

T+0:20 – Don’t notice anything yet, poured myself another glass.

T+0:30 – I’m watching some videos online. I find myself laughing more than I usually do, but the videos were from one of my favorite producers and were very good. I can’t attribute this to the lotus really.

T+0:45 – Disappointed I’m not feeling more even with a saturated mix of 50x extract. I pour myself more wine. I’ve now consumed about half the bottle.

T+1:15 – Still nothing. I decide that’s enough for one night. At this point I’m just feeling the alcohol and think any subtle effects of the lotus would be lost.

A few nights later I finished the second half of the bottle, consuming it more rapidly. Still nothing. Overall I was disappointed that even 2.5g (per session) of 50x did nothing for me. Maybe it wasn’t enough, but no more would dissolve in the bottle. Ingesting lotus orally is probably a very inefficient method. I’m not a smoker, but that may be the only way to get effects.
