In my Reference Book its called Lettuce Opium and is obtained from the milky white sap of Lactuca virosa L. (wild lettuce) and L. sativa var capitata L. (garden lettuce) but related species are also sometimes used. The Genus Family: Asteraceae (daisies)

Its been used as everything from a topical antiseptic, to a narcotic substitute or enhancer, to a mild sedative and hypnotic. There is little evidence to support its use for any indication.

If you try it, you need to make sure and check all your other medications against it for cross-tolerance. Herbals that have narcotic, sedative and hypnotic effects can be dangerous if mixed with certain other strong medications.

Take care,

I tried it already and it put me right to sleep so I need to be careful with that stuff. One thing I liked about it was I didn't wake up feeling lethargic and groggy like I use to with other medications.

Thankyou for your response.

God Bless

bobinmaine, would you mind sharing where you bought it from? I would be interested in trying it. Thanks,

Yes where do you purchase it. Is legal?

It is a weed that grows wild around here but it is kinda messy making it myself. I would rather buy it, because you have to chop it in a blender, put it in a pot with water and heat it up to not quite boiling untill much of the water evaporates out of it so all that is left is the extract, after you strain it. I bought some on ebay but you can get it on amazon as well. Yes it is legal. Absolutely!

If you just put it in a bing or google search, there will be many sites that sell it pop up. Search for "Wild Lettuce Extract" or "Lettuce Opium" or "Wild lettuce Milk"

It is possible the ingredients in this could affect drug screens.. There is no way of knowing.

It is not a narcotic and does not work like a narcotic and is legal in every state. No worries.
