Opinions - Blue Lotus plus other ethnobotanicals -- Need First Time Advice

[ScorpioSunshine]

This is long, but please bear with Swim.

Swim has UTFSE and has found some great recipes and advice for this weekend, when she plans to indulge with her SO.

Some of the recipes and advice have been a bit conflicting and mixed, and swim wants to make sure she gets the most bang for her time this weekend, as it's going to be a long weekend & a relaxing time with her boyfriend and the first time each have tried Blue Lotus.

Please note SWIM does not indulge in marijuana and neither does her boyfriend. Swim doesn't really care for marijuana.

Swim has the following:

1oz Nymphaea caerulea sacred blue lily flowers

1gram Nymphaea caerulea sacred blue lily resin extract

For the first day, Swim would like to try the Blue Lotus alone as a tea or with wine/alcohol. Swim is wondering the best way do this, either using the flowers or the flowers + the resin. Swim cannot really determine what to do with the resin. She is open to giving it a smoke (pipe? cig? ) or whatever is necessary. Should swim combine the two, do them separately ...? Swim wants a nice, chill experience, good for cuddling and music ... nothing to knock her completely on her ass. (Swim takes a very small therapeutic dose of clonazepam and that's it. -- .5mg 2 times per day -- Swim does nothing else)

Now, for the second day, Swim is willing to add to the Blue Lotus experience. She has Kava (root powder + paste) and Bali Kratom (whole leaf + super fine powder) available. Swim has read that these can combine nicely with Blue Lotus. Swim has tried kratom very rarely, and liked the less stimulating more relaxing type buzz from it.

So... Swim knows she is asking a lot here, but she would appreciate any advice on how to make the most of this weekend. The reason she wants to try the BL alone at first is to really notice its effects and determine the worth.

Oh . Swim also has a sample of 5x enhanced Wild Dagga she received as a sample. Swim is not too sure if she's interested in this, but just thought she'd add that it's there.
