Another video with some more information on identifying wild lettuce. The wild lettuce growing in my yard is lactuca serriola, while true opium lettuce is lactuca virosa.

I have already dried the leaves for teas and smoking, and have made a tincture and will post the instructional video tomorrow (I know some have been waiting, sorry for delay!) This is not an opiate but was given this common name in the 1800s becau

I doubt you can match this freak! Don't eat too much opium lettuce raw, it can be toxic in certain amounts. it's best to cook the plant down and make a potent extract to deal with pain and sleep issues. if you don't want to make this yourself there are herbal stores that carry opium lettuce tinctures! it's not an opiate was just called such because it gives sedative and pain relieving effects, similar to opium! #wildlettuce #painrelief #naturalpainrelief #plantsaremedicine #herbalism #herbalmedi
