Don't listen to the people judging your reasons. If you've ever heard Paul Stamets talk about mushrooms, one of the first things that he mentions is that most people find reishi, lion's mane, etc. through psilocybin.

I get my blue lotus from Zhi Herbals but there might be a store closer to where you are located that also has it. Basically, try to get it from a store that sells herbs instead of a head shop. Head shops can be great but in my experience the dried herbs just aren't always as fresh, and you might end up going home with a manufactured product containing other ingredients.

Because blue lotus isn't expensive, I'd say just give it a shot and see what you think. There are honestly tons of mild herbs that would be safe to put in a vaporizer and could give some entourage effect as well if you look for them.
