i found this pic on iamshaman labled as lettuce opium.



just wondering is this really another type of it? the only lettuce opium ive seen looked like this:



if this is another type of lettuce opium, im probably going to try and make some and see how it hits compared to other sedatives.

That looks like an actual lettuce. Put some water cress + tomatoes in there with some ham between two slices of bread and you will TRIP BALLS.

then drown it in mayo, salt, and pepper. and put that on wheat bread and give me a diet coke. im trying to watch my weight lol.

I think its just some sort of Wild Lettuce.

I believe that that is real lettuce also... let it stand in water for 36 hours and then fry the residue stricken water, and then if a black glob appears it is lettuce opium. Check out my post on the lettuce opium thread cuz its useful.

^^^^^

yes yes yes we kinda already astablished that it was lactuca serriola (prickly lettuce) 2-3 posts ago by you. No need to keep posting what we already know.

I filled up an extra large sandwich bag with leaves. Ive been soaking them for about 12 hours now.

And yes, you can eat it. You gave a wiki link, how about you read it.

It can also cause euphoria, relaxation, and at very high doses visual and auditory distortions from the lactucarium, although not as potent as the opiate effects of Lactuca virosa.

And yay it has some pretty cool effects, as you can see.
urination
relaxed sexual desire
euphoria
relaxation
visual & auditory distortion

Now to sure im gonna like the urination. Hopefully its not like asparagus lol.

Pyro said it was a real Lettuce and was explaing to him its not "iceburg" variety commonly accepted as just Lettuce.

Didnt say you cant eat it, i ment its not the variety you normally mix into a salad.
It says its very bitter and is only really used in natural medicines by the looks of it.

I did read it. I know that it has the same effect as Opium Lettuce just Not as strong etc.
