The following is a quick report about my experience with some milder drugs:

Today I obtained some blue lotus flowers and california poppy, among other things. I have had a lot of experience with blue lotus before, both smoking it and drinking tea and combining it with marijuana, alcohol, and other drugs. I really enjoy blue lotus's suble relaxing properties, but it has been several months since I have tried it. At college I am pretty stressed out and don't get much sleep, but take vitamins and do tai chi. We had just had a kind of aggrivating meeting, and I was looking to calm myself down a bit.

I decided that I wanted to try out the herbs, and took a break from doing some homework to roll two joints using a roller, with about half and half blue lotus and california poppy. The blue lotus is the familiar blue and yellow dried flower petals that have a nice smell to them. The california poppy looks more like a whole plant was dried and chopped up, but it rolled pretty well into the joint.

I knew that both the herbs should be pretty subtle in nature, so I wasn't expecting much. I went outside and smoked the two joints while talking to my friend about the ethics of whaling (I am in the middle of trying to write a paper about it for next week). I noticed that after the first joint, I felt relaxed, and my eyes weren't as open as before. I felt a kind of heaviness in my body and a mild headspace. I had no trouble thinking or carrying on a conversation, I just felt nice. After the second joint, the effects were a little more pronounced, and as I walked back into my room, I noticed that lights were a bit brighter and things seem to have some slight movement behind them. I also felt a little happier and a smile was on my face. Music was a little enhanced. It reminded me of being mildly stoned, except without the "my brain feels slow" feeling. I felt just as coordinated when I am sober. All in all, I like the effects as a nice way of relaxing. The smoke flavor wasn't terrible, but wasn't as nice as smoking weed (probably because I love the taste and smell of weed). I look forward to smoking some more of this combo in the future, and perhaps I will mix it with a tea made from the same herbs. Definitely worth my couple of bucks for a subltle relaxant and a sleep aid. I'll probably combine it with weed and alcohol at some point and see how it is with those drugs.
 
Curious to know if the californian poppy was a dried flower/pod or seeds?
Nice report, sounds like you had a relaxing time :)
 
My ex boyfriend had always wondered about taking drugs before doing tai chi, and since he's a *cough* walking piece of shit, i've taken the interest on myself and negated him from the picture. do you have any experience with practising tai chi under the influence?
 
Well, in China I practiced Tai Chi while drunk in a hip-hop club. I think you feel less of the benefits while drunk. I haven't tried while under other influences.

As to the other question, the calif. poppy looked like peices of the whole plant, not just flowers.
