Blue Lotus strain guide
Blue Lotus is a hybrid name that covers at least two different strains: a newer Blue Gelato and XXX OG cross credited to Maven Genetics, and an older Blueberry and Snow Lotus cross tied to Bodhi Seeds. Both are described with blueberry and earthy notes and a relaxed, happy feel.
Where does Blue Lotus come from?
Sources disagree because there seem to be two plants with this name. One listing credits Maven Genetics with a cross of Blue Gelato and XXX OG. Another describes Blueberry crossed with Snow Lotus, and names Bodhi Seeds, a breeder known for its Snow Lotus line. A third listing gives both stories on the same page.
Because of that, we don't list a single lineage. If your product names a breeder, that tells you which Blue Lotus you have.
What does Blue Lotus smell and taste like?
Blueberry is the common thread. The Maven version is described with blueberry, a funky blue-cheese note and diesel, while the Bodhi-style version leans sweet berry, earth and musk, with nutty or vanilla flavours and a little mint or spice.
No source we found publishes terpene results for Blue Lotus, so we've left terpenes blank rather than guess.
Blue Lotus effects: what people report
People most often call Blue Lotus happy and relaxing. Reviews of the Maven version add creative and euphoric, with some mentions of focus and giggles, while descriptions of the Blueberry and Snow Lotus version lean more toward a heavy body feel and sleepiness. Hunger comes up in both.
These are experiences people report, not promises. With two strains under one name, your batch matters more than usual. Few side effects are listed, though dry mouth is common with most strains like this.
How strong is Blue Lotus?
One listing puts the Blueberry and Snow Lotus version at about 23% to 24% THC, and another lists the Maven version at 31%. That's strong either way, and CBD isn't listed.
Start with a small amount and wait before having more, and read the THC and CBD numbers on your label. Our guide to reading cannabis labels walks through them.
Buying Blue Lotus in Canada
Check the producer's description: a mention of Blue Gelato or XXX OG points to the Maven cross, while Snow Lotus or Blueberry points to the older version. They can smell and feel quite different.
If you find it, look for dried flower or pre-rolls and check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of the berry smell.
Blue Lotus vs Blue Gelato
Blue Gelato is a parent of the Maven Genetics Blue Lotus. Blue Gelato is creamy and sweet, with blueberry over a dessert-like base and a balanced, happy feel. Blue Lotus, in that version, adds the gassy, funky side of its OG parent and is listed higher in THC. If you want smooth, creamy berry, pick Blue Gelato. If you like a little gas and funk with your blueberry, try Blue Lotus.
