Pink Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)

Apart from its majestic beauty, the Pink Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera, formerly known as Nymphaea nelumbo) is held sacred because of the mystical effects it can produce. The Sacred Lotus contains lotusine, demethyl coclaurine, neferin, and nuciferine.

This species is intimately linked with the Buddhist religion, symbolizing forgetfullness, vitality and purity.

Lotus flowers, pods, or petals are most commonly used, while the flower stamens are reported to be the most potent part of the plant.

Similar in effect to the Sacred Blue Lotus, the Sacred Pink Lotus is often steeped in wine or tea.

Effects

The effects of pink lotus are both sedative and euphoric. According to some it is a very effective sleeping aid.

Usage

To make tea, take 5 grams per person and soak in hot water. For a traditional Egyptian drink, soak the flowers in wine for several hours. Use approximately 5 grams per bottle. Do not exceed recommended dosage: pink lotus makes the wine bitter and hard to drink.

“i smoked 2 blunts and 2 cones of pink lotus stigma and i felt kinda euphoric, more mind high no body high. not as intense as weed but kinda relaxing. i also emptied a tea bag out and filled it with pink lotus and made a cup of tea with it and i drank that whilst getting read to go to sleep. that night i had multiple dreams and extremely long dreams, very clear and easy to remember.”
