Traditionally, the Blue Lotus was used by the ancient Egyptians for both its perfume and it's entheogenic properties.
It was used for both healing, and as a recreational drug, soaked in wine.
The effects have been reported as euphoria and sedation, similar to cannabis or codeine, a mild opiate. Higher doses can result in hallucinations, but its main use is as a sedative.
Really good when mixed with alcohol, it's enhancing the effects of alcohol, without the bad part you have when drinking a lot of alcohol.
You can also drink it as tea, or put it in a wine bottle for a few days and then drink it (egyptian method.)

I made a tea from all 12,5 g of Blue Lotus that was in the bag and drank it for empty stomach. It's quite bitter in taste but not as bad as some people describe it. For me it's not worse than green tea. The effects if any were very mild. I think that for this price you should get a little bit more, at least 20g. You can get a good tea or 2 jars of quality coffee for £8 and the effects would be the same or even better. I haven't tried to soak it in wine yet but I'm afraid that I may ascribe the qualities of wine to the Lotus then.So far it seems to me that in 80% the Blue Lotus is an ancient myth that we would like to taste.
