General Product Info

Jolly Lotus is a premium Blue Lotus “legal marijuana alternative” that is sold by Edge77.com. The product itself came professionally packed. It is produced by Edge now, but it used to be made by Pirate Botanicals, probably the same guys making it. This is much different than other strains, as it is the best used for smoking as a marijuana substitute. The actual bottle is high quality and reseals, so the herb itself is kept fresh in between use. Each bottle has 1 ounce which is kind of like how people buy weed. The price is right under $70, making it much cheaper than weed (probably because it is legal). It is currently all Edge77 sells, but seems to be in high demand.

Product Administration

Jolly Lotus can be smoked or vaped, or even brewed into a tea. I have tried all three administration methods. I ground up a small bit of Jolly Lotus and placed it into a glass bowl, smoking the bowl within a ten minute period. About an hour later, I ground up a little more and smoked about a quarter of a joint (of the Jolly Lotus). The following day, I tried vaping a couple of bowls throughout the night. The following week (still smoking Jolly Lotus throughout the day each day in place of my weed) I decided to try brewing it into a tea.

Product Effects

Jolly Lotus was a lot like marijuana. It is a little bit of a thicker smoke than weed, but less of it is required to experience effects. Vaping it seems far healthier, just like weed, however, the temperature needs to be higher than weed. I usually vape my weed at about 375 degrees Fahrenheit, however, I had to vape the Jolly Lotus at about 410 degrees Fahrenheit.

The joint was least preferable, probably because it unnecessarily burned too much at a time. Jolly Lotus does burn faster than weed burns. The onset was near immediate for both smoking and vaping administration methods. It felt exactly like weed, maybe even a little stronger than “mids” and slightly weaker than “good” quality weed. The more I smoked, the more I felt, though. The effects seemed to last just as long as weed.

The most desirable method when it comes to effects, but requires more preparation (making it slightly cumbersome). I brought 2 cups of water to a boil, and then immediately took it off the burner, dumped 3 grams of Jolly Lotus into the pot and stirred until it was cool. I then strained the leaf out of the water, and drank the entire contents of the resulting Jolly Lotus tea in about 15 minutes. The effects from drinking a Jolly Lotus tea (which required 3 grams of Jolly Lotus to make), were much stronger than smoking or vaping and felt more like taking a xanax than smoking weed. It was a more profound experience, lasting about 4-6 hours. It may be reasonable to compare it to a strong weed edible.

Final Thoughts

It is interesting to note that I have smoked other blue lotus flower before and felt nothing. I read that Jolly Lotus is a special strain and that it has been traditionally used as a marijuana alternative. That is what attracted me to wanting to try it. I also had seen it go out of stock a long time ago, but only recently it has been back up for sale. The effects were so similar to actual weed that I have already purchased another. It is not exactly the same, weed is still stronger…but it is strong enough for me to use it in between my weed purchases. Weed also makes me a bit lazier, while this seems to allow me to still be productive, yet experience many of the benefits weed has to offer me. Jolly Lotus is a wonderful substitute for marijuana and from what I can tell it is legal in every country (including the United States). I can confidently recommend Jolly Lotus as a legal marijuana alternative.
