What Is The Best Way To Take Blue Lotus Flower?

Blue lotus flower is starting to become a highly sought-after intoxicant that comes from a natural plant that grows in the wild – similarly to cannabis.  And, its euphoric, calming effects are naturally going to appeal to a lot of cannabis enthusiasts who love the idea of another plant-based, legal way to savor a super satisfying high.

Another thing that blue lotus has in common with cannabis is that it comes in the same delivery methods and product types, like vapes, flower, gummies, and even beverages.  So, which delivery method is the one you’ll go with?  Hopefully, this guide will help you decide.

How Much Does the Delivery Method of Blue Lotus Matter?

Just as we know from the hemp products we carry, the delivery method of your blue lotus product can make quite a big difference in how you experience its effects – mainly its psychoactive effects.  The delivery method determines the onset time, the duration of effects, and how strong those effects feel once they’re active in your system.  

What to Ask Yourself When Choosing Which Blue Lotus Product Type/Delivery Method is Best for You

When choosing the delivery method that you want to try, you’ll want to ask yourself some things that will help you narrow down your decision:

• How long do I want the effects to last?
• How quickly do I want to feel the effects?
• How strong do I want the effects to be?
• Do I want to be able to enjoy terpenes and cannabinoids, too?
• How much do I want the product pre-portioned (gummies, beverages, etc.)?

Now, taking all of that into account, let’s break down the key ways in which you can enjoy blue lotus flower.

Smoking Blue Lotus Flower 

First up, we have smoking – and let’s quickly mention that this can mean two things:

• Smoking Blue Lotus Flower: This refers to smoking blue lotus flower buds, on their own.
• Smoking Blue Lotus Hemp Flower: This refers to smoking hemp flower (with or without a cannabinoid distillate infused into it, to make it intoxicating), that has been infused with blue lotus extract.

Now, smoking either of the products above will give you the strongest effects – even more than vaping, because smoke is denser than vapor, and carries the compounds more efficiently into the system.  This means that you’ll get the most high by smoking blue lotus.  

As a side note, if you go with blue lotus hemp flower, you can choose from a variety of strains and cannabinoid infusions that will just add to your high.

Onset Time: 5-15 minutes

Duration of Effects: 1-2 hours

Potency of Effects: Strongest

Pros:

• Fast-acting
• Very potent effects
• Can be found infused into hemp flower, for synergistic effects
• Can be enjoyed in various ways (in a pipe, bong, rolled in papers, etc.)
• Most likely to produce a strong high

Cons:

• May be too strong for some people
• Short-lived effects

Vaping Blue Lotus Flower

Then we have vaping blue lotus flower, which again, can be achieved in two ways:

• Vaping Dry Flower: You can put dried blue lotus flower in a dry herb vaporizer and vape it that way, if you choose.
• Vaping Blue Lotus Vape Oil: The more popular way is to vape blue lotus extract, with or without cannabis terpenes added to it (as is a big trend right now, to offer various cannabis strains paired with blue lotus extract), through a disposable vaping device or, less commonly, bottled vape oil added to an existing vaping setup.

Vaping is a lot like smoking – after all, both methods involve inhaling, which is the most efficient delivery method there is for this type of product.  But, being vapor, it tends to be just slightly less potent than smoking.  Also, like we said, you can buy blue lotus vapes in different cannabis strains, to enhance certain desired effects.  Some of these products may contain cannabinoids, as well.

Onset Time: 5-15 minutes

Duration of Effects: 1-2 hours

Potency of Effects: Strong

Pros:

• Fast-acting
• Strong effects
• Can be combined with cannabinoids and terpenes 
• Very portable 
• Easier on the throat than smoking

Cons:

• May be too potent for some 
• Effects are shorter-lived

Drinking Blue Lotus Flower

If you want to drink blue lotus flower, you can by simply brewing the flowers into a tea, like you would any tea that you buy loose.  The longer you steep, the more concentrated the tea becomes.  Drinking is less bioavailable than inhaling the flower, but at the same time, because of its water-solubility, it will absorb faster than ingesting it through an edible, like we’ll get into shortly.  The effects last longer than they do when vaping or smoking the flower, which can offer more of a really pleasant buzz, and sense of enhanced physical wellbeing, as opposed to a more blue lotus powerful psychoactive high.

Keep in mind that you can also buy bottled beverages that contain blue lotus extract in various concentrations, which is another way to drink the flower.

Onset Time: 35-50 minutes

Duration of Effects: 4-6

Potency of Effects: Moderate

Pros:

• Easy to consume
• Moderately strong
• Long duration of effects
• Flavors can be added
• Absorbs into the system easily

Cons:

• Can take longer to become effective
• May not be strong enough for some 

Eating Blue Lotus Flower

Eating blue lotus flower can also be achieved in a few ways.  You can absolutely eat the dried flower buds on their own, but more people prefer cooking with flower, or buying premade edibles – blue lotus gummies, in particular, are becoming quite popular.  This is one of the more traditional ways to get the effects from blue lotus, and enjoy longer-lasting effects than other methods.  But, keep in mind that since ingestion is generally a less bioavailable delivery method, the effects won’t be as strong as the methods above.  That might be a good thing if you’re looking for more of a gentle buzz than a heavy-hitting high, however.

Onset Time: 45-60 minutes

Duration of Effects: 4-6

Potency of Effects: Mildest

Pros:

• Usually comes pre-portioned for easy dosing
• Long-lasting effects
• Can offer a more manageable psychoactive effect
• Many flavored products
• Great for physical discomfort

Cons:

• Takes a while to take effect
• Effects may be too mild for some users
