Hey folks!
Everyone once in a while, I see someone mention Blue Lotus mixed with their Kratom.
I’m very curious (and just purchased some from Fused Flora). Anyone have experience with this that they are willing to share
Or even as a stand alone? Favorite methods of consumption?
This community has been so helpful.

Re: Blue Lotus as an enhancement?
I tried smoking a blue lotus extract before, and didn't really notice any effect other than a mild relaxation, which could have been placebo. If it was around I'd give it another try, maybe smoking wasn't the best way to consume it, but it did have a nice aroma. There are some old trip reports on Erowid about blue lotus, to my recollection most of them are generally favorable but it's a very subtle effect. How did you like it?

Re: Blue Lotus as an enhancement?
Yes, I've heard of this and one of my museum specimins (from when I started- I keep a bit back for- the Gallery.
It was rumored that a certain Green Sumatra had a secret. Blue lotus blended in. Nobody knew how much but it added or enhanced a certain quality.
If true that it was added, then that special quality seemed to come from that and it suits me well. I felt my "awareness" and outlook was like it was when I was much younger and a lot less haggard, certainly without the depression and anxiety that wastes so much energy, locking you up in some rude sentimental belief.
This was not a hard hitter but man, it put possibility back into view and an ability to dream while awake- like imagining but spontaneous and more crystal clear than my awareness of actual physical environment. That's what stood out. I could be writing about the dream while I was having it yet nothing was diminished or compromised. Wasn't intentionally directing this other scene I was just there. I'd never go to a farm at dusk, sit on a fence and smoke a marlboro. I don't smoke. Sure was nice and thereputic though. (more mental capacity? yes Release from circular thought patterns- definitely but that's common w kratom)
Turns out, I'm now much better at visualizing, recalling the whole experience of another environment whether real or self created.
So you can learn from kratom & other influences, not just rely on having it for the gifts- just add intention and practice. Sure, I've been called alot of things.
Now. not to burst that tasty bubble but I've had the same thing happen maybe every few weeks or months without using that batch. It's the clarity factor added to dreaming - weather daydreams or REM on occasion. Last winter I got that more when using more reds in blends. But it's certain ones in low amounts mixed in.
I take very detailed notes and make complicated blends but what was consistent over time - despite that some vendors mis label product, the Sumatra's kept coming up in reference. I only have a few among hundreds. - but it's not necessarily excllusive (thankfully) as a few others factor in too (which may also be from a similar area or environment but no certain claim being made)
So what have I just told you? Nothing directly, but you know, there's always another way around.
Ok, I've used lotus extract prior to kratom. Like most things, ti's better in combination with other things that work together to support or bridge something. Velocity wise- it adds a kind of "slow" but it's not slow kratom slow nor is it sedating. It's subtly dreamy! Go figure. If you usually know how you feel, I thihk you'll appreciate the lotus. If always on sensory over ride, then disconnect and slow down.
go for extract unless your'set up to experiment with traditional uses- like soaking it in red wine for a long time. Not for everyone. I think buying petals is - not a good value at all. Extract on this one. Other parts are useful but for different things.

Hey Brian, did you get to try it yet? Any thoughts from your experience?
