Can you trip on blue lotus tea too?
The blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) contains substances such as nuciferin and apomorphine, which are non-selective dopamine agonists. These substances can induce a feeling of well-being, especially in individuals with low dopamine levels. The blue lotus is often regarded as a substance that can induce a pleasant sensation of warmth and a dreamy effect. It can also help open the 6th chakra, which can promote access to a deeper consciousness.
However, consuming blue lotus tea will not lead to a 'trip' like the one you would experience when using psychedelic substances, such as with psilocybin or LSD session. Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is a plant often used for relaxation and as an aphrodisiac. It has mild calming and relaxing effects, similar to those of chamomile tea.
Although some people report experiencing a slight change in consciousness after drinking blue lotus tea, there is no scientific evidence demonstrating that this is due to the psychoactive properties of the plant. It is important to note that individuals' subjective experience can vary and that placebo effects may play a role in the perception of the effects of blue lotus tea.
Combining blue lotus and truffles
The combination of blue lotus and truffles has a synergistic effect. The blue lotus provides a pleasant sensation of warmth around the head and upper body, and creates a dreamy feeling with a mildly stimulating effect. Together with the hallucinogenic effects of psilocybin and psilocin from the truffles, this can lead to calm, dreamy introspection. It can induce a feeling of euphoria due to the mild stimulation of dopamine receptors by the blue lotus and serotonin receptors by the truffles.
