The flowers may be soaked in wine (5-7 grams per bottle) for several hours before consuming the wine and the flowers. The flowers may also be prepared as a tea, which produces a thick, amber liquid which upon being consumed creates a warm, euphoric glow. Smoking the flowers (pure) or in combination with other herbs is very nice. Drinking and smoking synergize well.
The effects include: Alertness, contentment, relaxation, a kind of tranquil euphoria, increased mental awareness, ending in a sedative effect.
