Wild Lettuce is also Known as Opium Lettuce. For a good reason.
While it doesn't contain any opiates, it has similar side effects when used – it acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to lessen the feeling of pain, just like morphine.
Wild lettuce is a plant. The leaves, sap (latex), and seed are used to make medicine.
Wild lettuce is used for whooping cough, asthma, urinary tract problems, cough, trouble sleeping (insomnia), restlessness, excitability in children, painful menstrual periods, excessive sex drive in women (nymphomania), muscular or joint pains, poor circulation, swollen genitals in men (priapism), and as an opium substitute in cough preparations.
The seed oil is used for “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis) and as a substitute for wheat germ oil.
Some people apply wild lettuce latex directly to the skin to kill germs.
Some people inhale wild lettuce for a recreational "high" or hallucinogenic effect.
A tall leafy plant with small yellow buds, Wild Lettuce can be found growing in much of Central Europe, Southern England and North America. It has been used for centuries as a folk medicine, enjoying renewed popularity in the 1970’s as a painkiller and for its supposed recreational benefits.
