Vaping 25x Blue Lotus powder?

[herbmeister]

IAS sells 25x blue lotus (nelumbo nucifera) powder. (They call it incense.) I'm thinking of ordering some, but before I do I would like to know if it is any good and if anyone has tried vaping it. I have a MFLB, and I'm wondering how well the MFLB unscreened concentrate tray would work with it. Any info would be appreciated.

Don't do it Please for the love of god don't do it .
Look up
Nuciferine just one of alkaloids
Nuciferine is an alkaloid found within the plants Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera. It has a profile of action associated with dopamine receptor blockade. It induces sedation, hypothermia, ptosis, and (in higher doses) catalepsy; it inhibits spontaneous motor activity, conditioned avoidance response, amphetamine toxicity and stereotypy. Nuciferine may also potentiate morphine analgesia. The median lethal dose in mice is 289 mg/kg. It is structurally related to apomorphine.[1][2]

lol .. I have vaped this stuff and it is awesome.. I have even ingested it orally... This is complete bullshit if you ask me ! I have taken many capsules of the essential oil which is way stronger than this extract ! Blue Lotus = <3 , i doubt anyone can o.d. on that stuff unless he is really rich and stupid. Even if 289 mg/kg nuciferine is toxic i bet you wont find that much even in whole bottle of the essential oil.. to reach that toxicity... I've taken orally whole gram of the 25 extract with no ill effects..

I have read that essential oils can contain chemicals such as hexane as a result of the manufacturing process for the oils.

I love how everyone has a PhD in organic chemistry.
