The Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), sometimes also called Blue Water Lily, is a psychoactive plant that has been used for thousands of years. The plant is believed to originally come from Egypt and other parts of Northern Africa where it grew along the river Nile. Blue Lotus was intimately known to the Ancient Egyptians, where it played an important part in various aspects of their culture. The plant was widely popular for its aphrodisiac and mild psychedelic properties, which made it one of the first party drugs.*
The blue lotus high provides a mild sense of tranquillity and euphoria, along with an altered sense of awareness. Its effects famously combine very well with wine, which illuminate the social and euphoric aspect. The flower can be used as a sleep aid, to reduce anxiety and as a stress reliever. Blue Lotus is hypothesised to contain nuciferan (a natural anti-spasmodic) along with aporphine, which will give you feelings of calming euphoria.*
