Der findes mange varianter af lotus blomster, de ægte og de uægte, men det lader til at de alle har en virkning. Interesserede kan tjekke det her ud:
Citat:
47 grams of N. alba seeds with some smnall bits of pod still attached were crushed in a blender and combined with 200ml of 92% etoh in an inert closed vessel and shaken daily for two weeks, then once weekly for ten weeks. Decanted product was 135 ml.
Three eyedroppers of this tincture (measured at 2ml total) were put into half a cup of distilled water and orally ingested.
Effects began within 30 minutes and continued unabated for 8 hours minimum.
Effects included giddiness, euphoria, mania (inability to stop talking), slight dizziness and enhanced sense of awe and wonder. A slight difficulty in focusing vision was noticed, but this was not enough to interfere with enjoyment.
Some slight reduction in sexual performance was noted. Again, nothing severe enough to interfere with enjoyment.
While this is not a psychedelic, the awareness of universality was noticably enhanced, and a sense of awe and wonder at the new world being made manifest was predominant.
Today, I am more able to guage the effects of yesterday's experiment; the tincture is well worth making and the experience is first rate.
I had one of the most remarkable (for it's newness) and enjoyable experiences I can remember in a long time. The effects are unlike any other lily productI have tried, with far less body load and a higher level of euphoria.
I would have to say that the seeds are the strongest part of the plant I have so far tested.
I would recommend it to anyone in reasonable health. I'm curious to see if the effects are further strengthed by increasing the dose; I see no reason why they shouldn't be, and that would be something quite wonderful, IMHO.
Next experiment is to make a tincture of N. caerulea seeds.
Several people to whom I have spoken about cultivation of this plant tell me that seeds rarely germinate; the plant reproduces from seedlings that form on the edge of the lily pad and float off when they are of a large enough size to survive on their own.
I have not witnessed this, living in a colder climate where the tropical water lilies do not flourish, but would love to hear from any who have first hand experience with cultivation or knowledge in this area
