Blue Lotus is a Sedative / Euphoriant. 5 to 10 grams of the tea will give you a "hypnotic sedative" effect (sort of like the Cannabis of ancient Egypt). Actually, it is a pretty good sedative with a mild, opiod like feeling. Some people compare the effects as being similar to mild Ecstasy (MDMA), but most will say it's much like cannabis, codeine, valium or propoxyphene. It is also said to enhance sexual pleasure. It's been said to be much more of a hypnotic effect rather than a hallucinatory effect. It is also said to contain the alkaloid apomorphine, which has reportedly been recently isolated by independent labs. All in all, it provides a nice, mellow, tranquil and euphoric feeling. It can be mixed with your favourite smoking mixture, or made into a tea (use 5 to 10 grams), letting it steep for about 20 minutes before drinking. Because of the mythological, cosmological, symbolic, and artistic significance of the blue lotus, many feel that the ancient Egyptians used the blue lotus for its inebriating effects, and the flower was seen as an elite item that produced shamanic effects. The blue lotus flower contains a alkaloid called nuciferine, soluble in alcohol but not known to be psychoactive. Nuciferin is anti-spasmodic and likely contains aporphine. You'd need a good 5 to 10 grams in order for the flowers to be active. You can either ingest the blue lotus, smoke the blue lotus, make a tea from the blue lotus, or make wine blue lotus. The blue lotus water lily flower also has a sexual effect on people. The famous Dr. Liz Williamson says that the flower has "a sort of Viagra effect". As a matter of fact, one of the active alkoloids in blue lotus is an ingredient used to make Viagra. Due to the psychoactive properties that blue lotus has, recent studies have shown that the blue lotus may have been used as a sacrament in ancient Egypt, as well as certain ancient South American cultures. Used in aromatherapy the blue lotus produces psychoactive effects that are purported to have a "divine" essence, which brings upon the feelings of tranquility and euphoria. There are also reports of this blue water lily producing an antispasmodic and sedative, purfying and calming effect.
