🌿If you are interested in learning about Mullein, another fascinating plant with tons of medicinal benefits and uses, watch my new video here: ruclips.net/video/2An7FuCDeJA/видео.html Thanks soo much for watching guys! - Blake (Walk In The Wild) 😁
Its not very palatable raw off the stump, but Its better to make a tea out of it and drink the tea for the medicinal benefits. The texture is very woody and dense, soo most people dont prefer to eat them like a regular mushroom, but extract the beneficial compounds out of it through a tincture, decoction or tea! 🍵
Wild lettuce has absolutely nothing to do with opium. It contains no opiate alkaloids & does not even agonize the opioid receptors. So that's just a flat out lie. It does have mild sedative effects that have nothing to do with opiates. The picture of the "addict" in the beginning is just stereotyping & fear mongering, while a fake alternative is being pushed.
We've used it here in the mountains of Tennessee forever. Grandpa always said God put everything on the earth you need if got the common sense & the critical thinking to put it to use. he said people survived for thousands of years without someone holding their hand all the time for their wants & needs. If you look at society this day & time everyone is on like 20 prescriptions obese ignorant lazy & can't do anything without their phone. Thanks For video brings back good memories of the old man teaching about the old ways
My wife is severely disabled in a wheelchair...she was taking maximum dosage of oxycodone. Started her on wild lettuce and in about 6 weeks weaned her off....she hasn't had any pain meds since.....that was 6 years ago.
Thanks for sharing your experience, as it makes me happy to know that there are people in the world who are overcoming hardships like this. My own road back from chronic pain and temporary disability could have been easier/faster had I known about wild lettuce, but I won't dwell on what could have been. I'm thankful for every day I have now without pain. Again, thank you for sharing 🙏
Thats amazing. Im soo glad it has been helping your wife! Just go to show the power of all the plants we have on this world, if we just know how to identify and use them. We live in a world that has everything we need right here, 🌎
I gave up the opioids and began using cannabis products, CBD being a great alternative. Very little sciatic nerve pain now. I no longer need a cane to walk.
I'm in western Kentucky and wondering if wild lettuce grows near me. I just messed up my knee again and don't want to go back on pain pills again, so I'm just not taking anything for the pain , so if you could point me in the right direction I would be grateful
Its like Kratom, except it doesn't act on our opioid system in the brain. So it doesn't have any of the addiction and withdrawal symptoms that Kratom possesses. 🌿
You are right, It is very bitter Mike, The best way I have found to take it is by the preparation the "Feral Foraging shows in his video "How To Make a Concentrated Wild Lettuce Tincture". a dropper full of the extracted and dehydrated latex mixed with alcohol is the easiest and fastest way to get it down! 🌿
Been on morphine and oxycodone for over 10 -12 years now for chronic pain and wild lettuce has taken over my yard, the kind growing here has white flowers that float in the wind when they bloom, in South West Florida and never thought of the (weeds) taking over my lawn as medicine, wish I knew how to get off the pain meds without the withdrawal and use the free meds that I have been trying to get rid of, life is full of irony but you just have to laugh at the fact that I could have saved a bunch of money and not got addicted to opiates
Stop slowly a little bit at a time. I've been off them since 2015. Withdrawal is a bitch but it's gonna happen. Smoke weed to help yourself deal with the Withdrawal good luck
Methadone is a way better pain killer , I was in the same meds as you when a doctor put me on the Methadone...I have oseo necrosis and walk on broken bones , amongst bad back and neck disc's....anyway the Methadone works great and no cravings whatsoever
@murph19611 you doing the liquid kind? That stuff makes your teeth rot out and no the withdrawals on that are supposedly worse according to people who couldn't quit opiates and believed doctors could cure them
@Thecostofhighliving no I do pills but that lie of withdrawal is just that a lie ....the problem is that heroine addicts that get on these state programs are given massive dosages of liquid Methadone which is way more than their heroine usage , then they are never stepped down and sometimes increased ...all for the money to keep the program going ...at least in Taxachussetts
@@Readyforcivilwarthe liquid stuff is 100% toxic. Anyway, I thought methadone wd were easier to deal with. It just lasted like a month, but I can cut cold turkey just fine
Whoa! I’m definitely trying this. I have arthritis in my spine, and knees, plus fibromyalgia, so in constant 24/7 chronic pain. Hemp is only thing that helps ease the pain. Thank you for this 🤙🏼🍀🌻🍁
I had a serious brain injury. The thunder clapped constantly only two things would break the cycle. Hard drugs or wild lettuce. I would take 3 leaves fresh preferred dryed with water. I would put the leaves in my cheek and chew like tobacco but shallow the spit. And before I would finish eating it I was headache free. My headaches would last about 3 weeks if I didn't break the cycle.
Thats amazing! It just shows how powerful plant medicine really is. People used plants like that for 1000s of years, and its just been the past 200 we have been consuming all these synthetic pharmaceutical compounds for our ailments. So im so happy that it has helped you. 🌿
@@EnoShadow-Walker Same with me! Most of my medicine is turmeric, ginger, black pepper, moringa, spirulina, maca root, ashwagandha! lol. What most people would call spices and superfoods as well 🤣
Thats good advice. Most wild edibles especially ones that contain bitter elements like dandelion, milk thistle and wild lettuce aren't the most flavorful and palatable, but the medicinal benefits are the reasons people consume them. I find the best way is to make an alcohol or vinegar tincture of the plant, and take a dropper full twice a day, and just get the medicine down for the health benefits. I have eaten wild lettuce sautéed in garlic and olive and its much more tasty, but raw it is very bitter for sure. 🌿
This is what I tell people. Three kinds grow in my area and work about the same. I doesn't work as well for acute pain like a broken leg, sprain or tooth ache. It does work well for long term chronic pain. Always start with small doses and work your way up, just in case it disagrees with you. I dehydrate it and make tea; seriously nasty tasting; drink fast and chase it with something. 1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon crushed dry leaves steeped in 4 to 6 ounces steaming water; just like brewing any tea. My husband smokes it in his pipe. It burns hot and fast, so mixing 50/50 with pipe tobacco helps it not overheat your pipe. The only complaint I've heard is 'It didn't make me high'. I asked is your pain better and they said yes, but I didn't feel anything. You can concentrate it it enough to get a buzz, but it tears my stomach up. You need less and less rather than more. Not addictive and legal. Win, win.
Thank you for that! I have chronic issues, and I don't like anything that makes my head feel loopy. I tried kratom, but it made me feel weird. It also gave me a headache and upset my stomach.
try putting in a juicer and put baking sheet paper for cookies on a small saucer or lid and put in dehydrator till dry then bag it up. or boil down and and add a small amount of vodka and store in fridge
@@stephaniegreen6888 Hey Stephanie. I recommend not ingesting and smoking plants just because some random person in a comment section told you to. LOL
@@jims.3987 I research on my own. Have been for quite some time due to the incompetency of the 'medical' providers. I have a lot of books on plant medicine and plant identification. I'm not your average IQ'd American. Quite the opposite, thank you.
Im an addict and in recovery for 12yrs wild lettuce l is one of the first holistic medicine ive made and everything this video claims is true im happy to say ...... i had a friend that fell from a grain train car and it was the only thing that helped for the pain
Thats great it has been helping you in your recovery and your friend that fell from the grain train. What preparation and doses did you take to help you with that Pam? 🌿
I used Kratom to get off H, i still use it cuz i have chronic pain and the drs wont give me a permission slip for actual pain relief, Kratom is good for pain, but its nowhere near as effective for chronic pain, but i dont feel like going back to jail for trying to get rid of my legitimate pain.
@@hastyhillfarmand4x480i have been down the pain killer path and yes kratom does work wonders..i forget about the pain in my feet from neuropathy..havent tried wild lettuce..ktom is not going to work on all pain but neither did opiates..tooth infection is one example..
This year spring 2024 is a huge wild lettuce year. They are all over where I live (Oklacoma city). Yeah, I cant take strong opioid medications they really make my severe TRD way worse. I found effexor and Kratom to help the most so far. It was a hail mary desperation ordeal with the Kratom. It really is helpful.
Thats great Anson. I live in Pryor, Ok. Not too far from you! I hope Wild Lettuce will help you find some relief. Just be careful with the Kratom. If you keep upping your dose to try to get the same effects you got in the beginning as your tolerance increases, it will start having opiate like withdrawal symptoms. Id try not to take Kratom daily, but maybe 3 times a week max at around 3g a dose, and only when you are in severe pain. Have a great day neighbor! 🌿
I'm in Ok. also. I tried Kraton. Did absolutely nothing but tasted like grass lol. Glad it worked for you tho. Maybe I'll go find some wild lettuce. I know I've seen it out a the lake trails.
Was attacked by a ram, tore all the ligaments and tendons in my ankle and knee. I had made a tincture of wild lettuce. This was the only pain medicine I used
🐐 Dang Adrienne! Thats sounds rough! Im glad the tincture of Wild Lettuce helped you! It just goes to show how powerful these plants can be for pain management! 🌿
I love Comfrey, I have some growing in my garden. I prefer to use it topically though for burns and wounds. Its great in a salve mixed with plantain and yarrow! 😁
Comfrey is toxic to your liver. Seriously. That’s what I learned from the label of some comfrey save that I bought. I think that you definitely don’t want to ingest the stuff.
I know this is a little out of left field but could be this is the reason they tell you you have to kill the dandelions in your yard. The more self-sufficient you are and and the more you know about the natural medicines around you instead of pharmaceuticals which I'm sure a lot of the higher-ups and politicians are heavily invested in just putting that out there 🤔
Thats very true. When doing research for this video. I noticed most of the 1st page of google search was all big pharma companies advertising synthetic medications for pain, and trying to disprove the medicinal benefits of Wild Lettuce and calling it "Dangerous and Unproven". I can definetly see BiGPharma trying to make herbalism seem like woowoo non-proven science.. 🌿
Hello Tom, yes...whatever big Pharma, big conglomerates, government advisers typically the opposite is true....always, always research and use your GOD given common sense. Many of the wealthy elitists are eugenicists...they are proclaimed eugenicists and would prefer to have it all, that means excluding us!
Probably a spot on assessment. The greediest creatures in society will either take something that is or was free and sell it, or they'll create something that does the same thing but causes issues that "require" other products for mediation. Capitalism is inherently evil at it's core.
Milkweed also has a white latex The milk will dissolve warts. In the fall we would call them pod plants. Being curious, I would peel open the brown seed pods and see the silky seed "parachutes". I had a huge wart on my left hand. Older brother told me, dab it with milkweed several times a day. Keep doing it until the wart dissolves. It only took a few days and the wart become soft. I picked the wart off and it bled a little bit. There was sort of a depression that later healed and no more wart. Ever again. It didn't grow back. Milkweed also has other medicinal purposes, thanks for the video.
I buy the wild lettuce pills and since using it my pain is so much better wish I had know this years ago. It is nice to take something that does not make me tired or loopy. It is the best thing I ever took for pain.
I have lots of tall blue lettuce (lactuca biennis) growing in my backyard. I discovered what it was only a couple years ago when I decided to let one grow out of curiosity. Normally I would just cut them with my string trimmer. It got to around 13 feet tall before it died when winter hit. I'm in South Louisiana.
Thats great you have a Lactuca variety in your backyard. It doesnt have as high a content of Lactucin and Lactucopicrin as Lactusa Virosa, but it still has medicinal properties and medicine can be made out of it! 🧪
@@VINCENT-sr4oz No. The "tall blue" wild lettuce does get that tall. That one particular plant got that tall. The others in my yard that year didn't get so high. I have several this year that I've allowed to grow that may get really tall.
I use white maeng da Kratom and I am addicted to it . I need to go back to wild lettuce. Kratom is great, I love it , but, I really got addicted because I decided to use it 4 times a day for a year and tried to stop and withdrawals are horrible..
Ive tried Kratom and know what you mean. They act like it is harmless, but since its an opium agonist plant that acts on our opium receptors in the brain it will cause opium like addiction and withdraws. The tolerance you quickly build up with kratom sucks too, because you need more and more of it to get the same effects you got in the past. if you are dealing with pain I would try other things like a diet and exercise approach with other herbs like turmeric, ginger, rosemary, feverfew, capsaicin, boswellia and try to stay away from long term kratom use or at least cycle it in a few times a month during extreme pain, but kratom can also cause dopamine depletion and make you feel like a zombie after awhile. But for real, Diet, Exercise like running and weight lifting can help alot of physical problems. Stretching, mobility, yoga, lots of sleep and using those massage guns on the affected area really help. Oral CBD is great too. Hope that helps friend! 🌿
As much as I agree with all the advice to deal with the pain...if u don't deal with the addiction the pain will always be secondary. Pls as someone who's been there and came out the other side.
Try milk thistle for pain. I use both kratom and milk thistle myself. I've been able to bring my kratom intake down to about a table spoon a day now. Just taper off over a few weeks. Wild lettuce is great but my body doesn't like it.
Kratom wd is horrible. I'm even having seizure like attacks when I start falling asleep. It's horrible. I don't use heavy opiates anymore, so I abused it really bad. Now I'm a slave to Kratom and it's almost killed me a few times mixing it with alcohol
U seem like a neat guy. Love to buy u lunch. As a kidbin the early 90s herbal medicine was my passion. We grow and have families a.f things change. God does provide
Well I wouldn't look here, cause wild lettuce has absolutely ZERO opioid properties whatsoever. People have been snake-oiling wild lettuce as some "opium alternative" for a long time now.
These medicine works well but I've got a very high tolerance for opiates and I've tried everything even this plant and it doesn't work for me but works great for my friend who introduced me to this i hope this is something that will catch on to others for using it is better than nothing at all
I smoke this and have been for more than a few years now, this stuff works great for sleep and pain. Please, don't listen to these people in the comments, who say it don't work... you must find the best plant as there is many different species of the Wild Lettuce You should be looking for 4-6-foot-tall plants with yellow or purple flowers with tiny spine needles on the bottom of the stem. with dandelion looking leaves. Best time to Harvest is right before all the flowers are open, as that's when the plant is most potent. Please, don't use any leave that have any spots or have turned brown, just throw them away. If you want to use as a tea, you might want to add a dash of salt and sweeten to taste. the salt takes a lot of the bitterness out. you can use Honey, Maple syrup, or just about any sweetener you like. If I make a tea, I use the caned sweetened Kool-Aid in mine. I find it taste so much better. When I harvest plants, I hang them upside down for a day (24 hours), then dehydrate in a fan less heated Dehydrator for 3-4 days or until crisp to touch. then mash them up with a wire potato masher. and smoke in just a reg. pipe you can also use 50/50 with medical cannabis, for the same Mood boost. I am no Doctor or anything like that, I'm just user and this is how I use it. I do recommend you see a real doctor before use. as this has had some adverse or allergic reacting to some people. most people have no problems with use but just in case see your doctor first, please! The thing I like about Wild lettuce, is it helps A LOT with my pain, and you I don't get that weird feeling like in pain meds I've taken in the past before I found out about this stuff. Hope it helps you as it has helped me. Just one guy's opinion.
Some tips on your channel, because I feel you need more subs for your talent. work on varying your thumbnails and making them more interesting, giving your songs some names, and maybe doing some Studio One Tutorials or "Create A song with me Tutorials" You will get more subs and recognition for your work. great job! I use Ableton 12.
@@WalkInTheWildMediaThanks for subscribing! All of your suggestions are on my list but I have so much more music to write and record along with a very stressful and demanding job. The time to spend polishing up the videos and doing more promoting has been very elusive. Also foraging and gardening season is coming up too.
@@philipmikolsmusic You and I are very similar. I work a full time job as a lawn and landscaper, I make youtube videos on the side for my love of plants, and I also write music as a way to express myself.

I have another channel called "Ancestral Spirit: where my lady friend and I do acoustic covers of classic rock songs, but since I was young I have always wanted to be a musician. To make it on youtube, you almost always have to think of your thumbnail and title before you make any video. Its the visual intrigue thats makes people wanna click. I use CANVA to make my thumbnails and it makes it soo much easier than photoshop to do advanced things like remove a background to get an object in your thumbnail you want.

Ill have more foraging videos on the way! You may want to start a side channel on plants as well if thats another one of your passions. Blake- (Walk In The Wild) 🌿
Around the time I was like 10 I think, we had a lot of this plant variety in our garden, and some years it grew taller than me (was probably around 150cm) and had finger-thick trunks with small spikes, and it would always be sticky with this liquid when you broke them. I used to spend the day struggling to pluck them from the ground, then carrying more than I could barely hold to feed to our chicken. It always seemed like they particularly enjoyed that plant more than others. I guess now I know why.

I love your post regarding the wild lettuce. I've eaten the tall red/purple topped variety with only slight numbness in my mouth but it went away as quick as it started and I've consumed much since. I'm a big supporter for medical cannabis but never thought about a 50/50 smoke mix,,, I'm gunna try that today,, after all it is 420 now hehe
Excellent production, and narratives! As a cautionary forgager, i look at various wild plants/weeds that are relatively low in oxalates for ingesting to reap certain benefits. To the best of my knowledge wild lettuce, is low in oxalates. Subworthy, thank you!
I was reducing my extract last night while I slept and couldn’t even get out of bed I felt soooo good. Did not think the vapor would be so potent but it was. I’m reducing with my windows open tonight so I don’t end up late to work again lol😂!
Worse than worthless goof juice that gives you a terrible buzz (similar to a Valium buzz). I drank a teaspoon of it and I hated the buzz so bad that I had to drink two bottles of red wine to get rid of the wild lettuce buzz. I love opium, but wild lettuce is a worthless substitute for it in my opinion.
You should do a video on stinging nettle. Keep finding white vervain and white snake root. Theres one that looks like it but i cant get any info on it.
I do have plans to make a Stinging Nettle video in the future! Its such a fascinating and nutritious plant. I should be able to get to it in a few months. 🌿
Thats a great idea! Im going to have to try that method. sounds so quick and easy, instead of the whole drying and extraction process with alcohol in a pinch! 🌿
Thanks! I've been looking for this plant, and I think it grows here. I have a chronic pain syndrome, and some relief would be nice. Question: is this found in Pennsylvania? We have similar looking plants, and I'm just not sure! I'm looking for relief, not a trip to the ER.....Please & Thank you!
You're welcome Stephanie! Im happy you found some information that will hopefully help you find pain relief for your condition that is going on with your hands. Yes, wild lettuce also known as prickly lettuce or Lactuca serriola, can be found in Pennsylvania. It is a common weed that grows in various habitats, including fields, roadsides, waste areas, and disturbed sites throughout much of North America, including Pennsylvania. You will likely find it growing outside this spring and summer. You can also buy seeds and it grows easily like other lettuces. Some other plants and herbs you might look into for their nervine and analgesic properties for pain management are: Willow Bark (Salix spp.): Willow bark contains salicin, which is similar to aspirin and has been used for centuries to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has anti-inflammatory properties and may help alleviate pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis. Ginger (Zingiber officinale): Ginger has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and may help reduce muscle pain and soreness. Capsaicin (Capsicum annuum): Found in chili peppers, capsaicin can desensitize pain receptors in the skin, leading to temporary pain relief. It is often used in topical creams for conditions like arthritis and neuropathic pain. Arnica (Arnica montana): Arnica is commonly used in topical preparations for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, particularly for muscle aches and bruises. Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens): Devil's claw has been traditionally used to relieve joint pain and inflammation, and some research suggests it may be beneficial for conditions like osteoarthritis. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa): Kratom contains compounds that act on opioid receptors in the brain and may have pain-relieving effects. However, it also carries potential risks and side effects and is a subject of regulatory scrutiny. (Take sparingly can be addictive, because it does act on the opioid receptors) Valerian (Valeriana officinalis): Valerian root has mild sedative properties and may help alleviate pain associated with muscle tension and stress. Hope that helps Stephanie! I hope you can find relief. Exercise and Diet are huge too. Also long warm baths in Epsom salt, and daily meditation are known to help too!
@@WalkInTheWildMedia Oh...now I feel bad. That was a ton of great info, but I grow ginger & turmeric, I've used kratom- it makes me feel weird and gives me a headache. I've had chronic pain for 11 years, and I take NO pain meds. I was familiar with all the others, as well. That's why I feel bad- you wrote a book for me and I feel like I wasted your time. BUT, I do think what I found is the wild lettuce (we have the look alike, too). But I REALLY appreciate the very thorough answer... You really know your stuff! WOWZERS! 😃😃
@@stephaniegreen6888 You are welcome! I will keep researching and try to come up with some other remedies and herbal options that may help you. Could you tell me more in detail and about your conditions and the symptoms you experience. Physiological and Mental, or anything you can think of to give me more information that may give us clues into what route to take and options to try. 🌿
@@WalkInTheWildMedia You don't have to do this....But, if you want to, look up Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. It sucks, believe me- horrible pain, swollen knee for 11 years, neuropathic pain. Worst part is that any little injury, including a needle from a blood draw can cause permanent disability. I have gotten exactly NO care from 'doctors'. Not that I want a bucket of pills, but I asked for a valid treatment used for CRPS, and I just got 'we don't do that', and sent home. But, I will NOT touch an opioid! I deal with it, but I'm primarily looking for pain relief. I've tried a lot of things, to no avail. Thanks Doc!!🤣😂
Theres tons of great videos on RUclips showing extraction and preparation methods. Check out Feral Foraging's video on how to dry it in a dehydrator, blend it up with high grain alcohol like vodka or everclear, then evaporate it again in a dehydrator with a silicone sheet, and your left with a sticky brown sap that you can make a tincture out of in a eye dropper bottle.
I still haven't found anyone who discusses what you would typically consume as a "dose" A tea cup of hot water and steep how much of what part of the plant in it.... ? any hints?
Dried leaves and powdered leaves can be used to make tea by steeping 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dried herb or 1 to 2 teaspoons of the powder into a cup of boiling water. Take 2 times a day for pain. For Capsules of the plant: 400 milligrams (mg) per day once in the morning and once at night. 200mg per dose. For Tincture: 1 full dropper full, two times daily. The extract will have more sedative effects, and is great before bed for sleep. The plant is very bitter, so be prepared for it to not have the most appealing flavor. A little honey, stevia, monk fruit or xylitol will help. It also helps to mix it with mint or something fruity like hibiscus. Hope that helps Michael! 🌿
Just wanted to point out that opium poppies are legal to grow in the US. Many different seed companies sell the seeds. They're beautiful flowers. I'm not suggesting anyone get addicted to opium, though. Better to stick with wild lettuce for pain relief.
THERE IS AN EGYPTIAN STORE NEAR ME , I BUY THEIR ESSENTIAL OILS FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES SKIN ,TOOTH ACHE , BOWEL MOVEMENTS , DISCOLORED TOE NAILS , CUTS AND BRUISES , THE ONE THAT I RARELY USE IS TEA TREE , VERY TOXIC , . BE VERY CAREFUL HOW YOU USE YEA TREE ...
That shit I literally growing in my backyard. Not only that… but it is fucking impossible to eradicate. It keeps coming back and grows taller than my balls within a couple of weeks. No idea it had a use.
are the stalks bristly? I think I might have some of these plants growing wild in my yard after several on and off days of April and May rainstorms. I don't want to make a mistake and poison myself... but visibly they do have foliage like wild lettuce. and have blooms that look like Dandelions. 🤔
Just be careful, Ive heard to only take one or 2 berries a week. I think there are better pain relieving options than Pokeweed Berries. The toxic alkaloids can have different side effects for different people.
@@WalkInTheWildMedia not wisdom. I just read a lot. Back 50 years ago I got interested in herbs and natural remedies and I ran across wild lettuce in the herbal books and one had a bit of history about how people used it. Back 50 years ago I read a ton. Even spent a summer in the library reading the "reference" books they don't let you take home. A lot of interesting and weird stuff. I felt like I was stuffing my brain with all sorts of info. It was great when watching "Jeopardy " and having the answers pop up in my mind. (Didn't work on the subjects about sports or opera. Totally clueless about those subjects). 🙂
There should be a warning with this as there are many plants/weeds that look similar with milky sap that is very bad for you. It’s a common rule of thumb if the sap is milky don’t ingest it or rub a little on your skin first to see if you have any redness appear
We have a couple of tons of this growing in our fields. Literally. We have a christmas tree farm and it's the "plant of the year" that went nuts growing this year.

Slight correction. You can never be 100% sure of identification. And if you're second guessing it nibble a small piece and see how it makes your body feel. Yes, can be poisonous, in what dosage? Nibble generally won't kill you. And if it does it was your time.

Thanks for the comment Danielleahy15. I realized the plants shown in that section weren't all wild lettuce, but Papyrus and Lotus. I just wanted to get the point across because I couldn't find any exact pics of wild lettuce in tomb hieroglyphics. I love Egyptology, and im always trying to learn more about it. They were an amazing civilization!
The microgreen stage of the plant may not contain significant amounts of latex, as the latex typically accumulates in older parts of the plant, such as the stems. So ideally you would want to use larger plants if the lactucin and lactucopicrin content is what you are after.
I have these growing from the cracks of my driveway and they refuse to quit growing. I have tried everything to stop them from coming back, but so far they have been relentless. Coupled them out from what I thought was the roots. My husband sprayed weed killer on the hole, after pulling it out. He even tried pouring hot oil down the hole. Then it still regrew! I even tried repaving the whole damn driveway and this sucker has pushed through the cracks again. At first it just looked brown and almost dead, but then green shooters came out and now it’s recovering from what we did to try to stamp it out. I don’t know what else to try? Between this relentless zombie plant and the cicada killer wasps that made a home under my driveway and also pushed their way through the repaved cement, I just can’t win? The roots of this plant must go deep or far and wide. I should also mention, I had an allergic reaction or something from getting the sap or milk on my skin and then being in the sun. It created a burning sensation and caused my skin to burn and peel off. I tried washing it off first with just water and then with soap and water and it didn’t do much. I think the damage was done because it had been on my skin too long. I don’t know if anyone else has had this experience, but it has kept me from trying to get rid of it again. I’m also allergic to raw wild onions, scallions, chives, and leeks. Once cooked it doesn’t bother me, but when raw it burns my skin as if I put raw jalapeño on it. Not sure why I’m like this, but it’s annoying lol.
Cheers I’m in Australia it’s winter time here but 4 weeks away from spring. I live south of Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 near a town called Manjimup. 295 kms Dead South but 120 kms from the Indian ocean 😂😂 SAYS A NAVIGATOR TO HIS PILOT 😂😉🇦🇺 Anyways this plant will in the next 4 weeks be in huge blooms, I mean our cattle and sheep eat this stuff come spring time by the bucket load daily. Hence why we have amazing dairy and beef , wool, lamb. Says the market entrepreneurs of the country 🤑😂. But I never knew about this and DAMM do all of it’s benefits sound like my long lost soul mate.😞. But I’m going to try some myself and if successful I’m going to make it in the 100s of kilos in extract and give it out for bloody free. Just might be what the world needs right now. Right on Mann.👍❤️🙏
Yeah thats true if you want to get addicted real quick lol. Id try to avoid any opium agonist substances as long as possible unless my leg got blown off 💥
It's latex not opium. Try it in tandem with THC. Only eat a small bite after de-spineing. It's bitter . This is my own recipe, not saying it medically sound. It's how I deal with pain.
Has anyone used this to help wean themselves off of opiates? Or maybe because it doesnt affect the opiate receptors it does NOT work for opiate withdrawals? Please lettuce know. (HAhahaha! Sorry, i just had to throw that out there. 😂
I took the leftover minced lettuce and dried it out. I put it in a cigarette tube and smoked it. The taste was a bit strong but not bad. I didn't think it did anything until I drove to go get real cigarettes . Then I noticed that I could see every piece of gravel and crack on the road as I drove, tunnel vision. This made me "happy" and amazed. I became extra aware what I focused my mind on, but other things just didn't matter. Only a few times it didn't work as well. This year I going to cure the leaves like tobacco and use just the stalks for the latex.
Ya I noticed that too when smoking it, I also like to smoke mullein, that grows everywhere, mullein will give you a high/calming effect and taste great smoking or making a tea
@@yoeyyoey8937 when you go to a tobacco shop or gas stations, they sell tobacco and tubes, the paper part of the cigarette, you don’t roll them, the machine you use fills the cigarette 🚬 tubes

@@frankmcmahon5820 Thats interesting Frank, if you really want to experience more benefits, I would make a tincture of the sap and ingest it orally. Just like CBD and THC with Cannabis. You are able to absorb alot more of the bioavailable compounds by not burning them, but eating them. The heat destroys alot of the beneficial active compounds. 🌿
Glucosamine condroitin and moringa extract pills. Took this for 2 weeks and my Arthritis Pain is seventy percent gone. I would seriously try it@@frankmcmahon5820
and what does this say about modern society, denying thousands of years of knowledge and use now we make commercials where we spray the strongest chemicals on these "weeds" bragging about how quickly we can eradicate such an amazing medicinal plant.
Great video and super awesome idea for a channel I just happened to click on your video and I immediately subscribed. End in addition I would like to make a video request could you maybe do one on green Mormon tea or ephedra Nevada?
Like all herbs, it may act on peoples systems differently. It does help people with pain, and people have expressed that in the comments. What type of pain are you experiencing?
its grows everywhere in south west part of iran during winter and spring no wonder thats when i was child 5 6 i got sick and dizzy while using these plants as arrow or sword while playing with other children once i had throw ups for near 12hours i dont think its should be used for children and babies because of its effects
It's also in the lettuce I'm growing I literally just went out slit a stem and scraped the sap and I kid u not from the little bit I gathered with my knife I feel it almost immediately a relief to my aches my legs and it's so sticky my lips are glued literally. I transplanted it too in a cup of water to grow more.
the effect is nowhere near as strong as opium and if you ingest too much trying to take a lot and get that high you can hurt yourself because it has silica that builds up in the body (you'll start noticing lumps near your armpits on your arms because the lymph system gets clogged)
ate wild lettuce while watching the video I eat the leafs raw to retain potency, I wouldn't drive on it due to it's sedating effects but its not a recreational sedation more like a sleep aid
I was wondering if it would be ok for dogs pain, and not toxic for them. I have a dog got hurt in a fight with her sister and has a nasty cut on her paw. I have a bunch growing on my property, how would I fix something for her?
Im not sure who it is, but it is very sad that people get to that point in their addiction. I found a picture of an opiate addict and used it in that slide to help convey the point I was making. I really do hope she has beat it. 🙏
@@WalkInTheWildMedia I'm sure someone will recognize her... I do like your channel but I don't think it drives any point,but mocks someone's struggle. Hopefully her story has turned out for thy better.
@@WalkInTheWildMedia also.. Wold lettuce instead isn't what opiate addicts seem..because the only comparison is the pain center in the brain. It's not pain relief that many addicts seek even if that's how some become addicted.
@@SparkiMcSparks Yes the lactucin and lactucopicrin which are the main pain relieving active compounds in wild lettuce are nowhere near as powerful for pain relief and sedation as Opium Agonist drugs that act on the opium receptors in the brain. The nick name for Wild Lettuce throughout the years is "Opium Lettuce, or Poor Man's Opium" but that title is slightly misleading because they are expecting the plant to have the same type of effect as opium. Thats why so many people are researching this plant on RUclips. Thats what I wanted to clear up in this video and show that its not opium at all. The thumbnail is meant to be a little click baity because it took me 2 weeks to edit this video, and id like to get some views on it to make all that hard work worth while. I think alot of addicts that abuse opiates and other similar narcotics are also addicted to the massive dopamine rush they get from taking them. Ive had friends go down that route and they had no injuries or pain at all, but just loved the high from them. Which sucks cuz people in actual pain need them for daily relief. its sad all around. I hope whoever she is, she is doing better and happier and im sorry that slide offended you. Have a great day Sparki and im glad you have been enjoying my videos! I hope to help you learn more about plants in the future! - Blake (Walk In The Wild) 🌿

Oh! I have turkey tail growing on a log in my yard. It's very hard! Can i eat it?
Its not very palatable raw off the stump, but Its better to make a tea out of it and drink the tea for the medicinal benefits. The texture is very woody and dense, soo most people dont prefer to eat them like a regular mushroom, but extract the beneficial compounds out of it through a tincture, decoction or tea! 🍵
Wild lettuce has absolutely nothing to do with opium. It contains no opiate alkaloids & does not even agonize the opioid receptors. So that's just a flat out lie. It does have mild sedative effects that have nothing to do with opiates. The picture of the "addict" in the beginning is just stereotyping & fear mongering, while a fake alternative is being pushed.

My wife is severely disabled in a wheelchair...she was taking maximum dosage of oxycodone. Started her on wild lettuce and in about 6 weeks weaned her off....she hasn't had any pain meds since.....that was 6 years ago.
Thanks for sharing your experience, as it makes me happy to know that there are people in the world who are overcoming hardships like this. My own road back from chronic pain and temporary disability could have been easier/faster had I known about wild lettuce, but I won't dwell on what could have been. I'm thankful for every day I have now without pain. Again, thank you for sharing 🙏
The body, in its natural state, is self-healing. We just have to stay out of the way and prevent secondary infection and environmental stress.
Thats amazing. Im soo glad it has been helping your wife! Just go to show the power of all the plants we have on this world, if we just know how to identify and use them. We live in a world that has everything we need right here, 🌎
Wow the lettuce eased the withdrawal symptoms too?
In short you made her a dope head for about 6 weeks
I gave up the opioids and began using cannabis products, CBD being a great alternative. Very little sciatic nerve pain now. I no longer need a cane to walk.
I'm in western Kentucky and wondering if wild lettuce grows near me. I just messed up my knee again and don't want to go back on pain pills again, so I'm just not taking anything for the pain , so if you could point me in the right direction I would be grateful
My wife stepped on it in the garden she came after me like a wild cat in a phone booth.
I bet it would taste better with some ranch! 😋

It's basically like kratom
Its like Kratom, except it doesn't act on our opioid system in the brain. So it doesn't have any of the addiction and withdrawal symptoms that Kratom possesses. 🌿
I made it, and it is SO BITTER that i could barely get any down, extremely bad tasting, capsules or something is needed
You are right, It is very bitter Mike, The best way I have found to take it is by the preparation the "Feral Foraging shows in his video "How To Make a Concentrated Wild Lettuce Tincture". a dropper full of the extracted and dehydrated latex mixed with alcohol is the easiest and fastest way to get it down! 🌿
Been on morphine and oxycodone for over 10 -12 years now for chronic pain and wild lettuce has taken over my yard, the kind growing here has white flowers that float in the wind when they bloom, in South West Florida and never thought of the (weeds) taking over my lawn as medicine, wish I knew how to get off the pain meds without the withdrawal and use the free meds that I have been trying to get rid of, life is full of irony but you just have to laugh at the fact that I could have saved a bunch of money and not got addicted to opiates
Stop slowly a little bit at a time. I've been off them since 2015. Withdrawal is a bitch but it's gonna happen. Smoke weed to help yourself deal with the Withdrawal good luck
Methadone is a way better pain killer , I was in the same meds as you when a doctor put me on the Methadone...I have oseo necrosis and walk on broken bones , amongst bad back and neck disc's....anyway the Methadone works great and no cravings whatsoever
@murph19611 you doing the liquid kind? That stuff makes your teeth rot out and no the withdrawals on that are supposedly worse according to people who couldn't quit opiates and believed doctors could cure them
@Thecostofhighliving no I do pills but that lie of withdrawal is just that a lie ....the problem is that heroine addicts that get on these state programs are given massive dosages of liquid Methadone which is way more than their heroine usage , then they are never stepped down and sometimes increased ...all for the money to keep the program going ...at least in Taxachussetts
@@Readyforcivilwarthe liquid stuff is 100% toxic. Anyway, I thought methadone wd were easier to deal with. It just lasted like a month, but I can cut cold turkey just fine

I had a serious brain injury. The thunder clapped constantly only two things would break the cycle. Hard drugs or wild lettuce. I would take 3 leaves fresh preferred dryed with water. I would put the leaves in my cheek and chew like tobacco but shallow the spit. And before I would finish eating it I was headache free. My headaches would last about 3 weeks if I didn't break the cycle.
Thats amazing! It just shows how powerful plant medicine really is. People used plants like that for 1000s of years, and its just been the past 200 we have been consuming all these synthetic pharmaceutical compounds for our ailments. So im so happy that it has helped you. 🌿
@@WalkInTheWildMedia my med cabinet is call a spice rack in most homes before I got hurt. 🙃
@@EnoShadow-Walker Same with me! Most of my medicine is turmeric, ginger, black pepper, moringa, spirulina, maca root, ashwagandha! lol. What most people would call spices and superfoods as well 🤣
What do you mean, dried with water?
@holymoly271 yes like tea
If you can’t stand the taste you can buy empty gel tabs at most health food stores and fill them.
Thats good advice. Most wild edibles especially ones that contain bitter elements like dandelion, milk thistle and wild lettuce aren't the most flavorful and palatable, but the medicinal benefits are the reasons people consume them. I find the best way is to make an alcohol or vinegar tincture of the plant, and take a dropper full twice a day, and just get the medicine down for the health benefits. I have eaten wild lettuce sautéed in garlic and olive and its much more tasty, but raw it is very bitter for sure. 🌿
That's how I do my kratom too
This is what I tell people. Three kinds grow in my area and work about the same. I doesn't work as well for acute pain like a broken leg, sprain or tooth ache. It does work well for long term chronic pain. Always start with small doses and work your way up, just in case it disagrees with you. I dehydrate it and make tea; seriously nasty tasting; drink fast and chase it with something. 1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon crushed dry leaves steeped in 4 to 6 ounces steaming water; just like brewing any tea.
My husband smokes it in his pipe. It burns hot and fast, so mixing 50/50 with pipe tobacco helps it not overheat your pipe.
The only complaint I've heard is 'It didn't make me high'. I asked is your pain better and they said yes, but I didn't feel anything. You can concentrate it it enough to get a buzz, but it tears my stomach up.
You need less and less rather than more. Not addictive and legal. Win, win.
Thank you for that! I have chronic issues, and I don't like anything that makes my head feel loopy. I tried kratom, but it made me feel weird. It also gave me a headache and upset my stomach.
try putting in a juicer and put baking sheet paper for cookies on a small saucer or lid and put in dehydrator till dry then bag it up. or boil down and and add a small amount of vodka and store in fridge

Thats great it has been helping you in your recovery and your friend that fell from the grain train. What preparation and doses did you take to help you with that Pam? 🌿
I used Kratom to get off H, i still use it cuz i have chronic pain and the drs wont give me a permission slip for actual pain relief, Kratom is good for pain, but its nowhere near as effective for chronic pain, but i dont feel like going back to jail for trying to get rid of my legitimate pain.
@@hastyhillfarmand4x480i have been down the pain killer path and yes kratom does work wonders..i forget about the pain in my feet from neuropathy..havent tried wild lettuce..ktom is not going to work on all pain but neither did opiates..tooth infection is one example..
This year spring 2024 is a huge wild lettuce year. They are all over where I live (Oklacoma city). Yeah, I cant take strong opioid medications they really make my severe TRD way worse. I found effexor and Kratom to help the most so far. It was a hail mary desperation ordeal with the Kratom. It really is helpful.
Thats great Anson. I live in Pryor, Ok. Not too far from you! I hope Wild Lettuce will help you find some relief. Just be careful with the Kratom. If you keep upping your dose to try to get the same effects you got in the beginning as your tolerance increases, it will start having opiate like withdrawal symptoms. Id try not to take Kratom daily, but maybe 3 times a week max at around 3g a dose, and only when you are in severe pain. Have a great day neighbor! 🌿
I'm in Ok. also. I tried Kraton. Did absolutely nothing but tasted like grass lol. Glad it worked for you tho. Maybe I'll go find some wild lettuce. I know I've seen it out a the lake trails.

I love Comfrey, I have some growing in my garden. I prefer to use it topically though for burns and wounds. Its great in a salve mixed with plantain and yarrow! 😁
I agree but that's another video. Try to focus with the rest of us
Comfrey is toxic to your liver. Seriously. That’s what I learned from the label of some comfrey save that I bought. I think that you definitely don’t want to ingest the stuff.
I know this is a little out of left field but could be this is the reason they tell you you have to kill the dandelions in your yard. The more self-sufficient you are and and the more you know about the natural medicines around you instead of pharmaceuticals which I'm sure a lot of the higher-ups and politicians are heavily invested in just putting that out there 🤔
Thats very true. When doing research for this video. I noticed most of the 1st page of google search was all big pharma companies advertising synthetic medications for pain, and trying to disprove the medicinal benefits of Wild Lettuce and calling it "Dangerous and Unproven". I can definetly see BiGPharma trying to make herbalism seem like woowoo non-proven science.. 🌿
Hello Tom, yes...whatever big Pharma, big conglomerates, government advisers typically the opposite is true....always, always research and use your GOD given common sense. Many of the wealthy elitists are eugenicists...they are proclaimed eugenicists and would prefer to have it all, that means excluding us!
100 %…… Pharmakeia means poisoning, sorcery……absolutely evil what the greedy money changers did. They hid all the cures etc……
Probably a spot on assessment. The greediest creatures in society will either take something that is or was free and sell it, or they'll create something that does the same thing but causes issues that "require" other products for mediation. Capitalism is inherently evil at it's core.
its been about 2 weeks since its outlawed in Russian gardens.. , no time serving for it, but fines for now..((
Milkweed also has a white latex The milk will dissolve warts. In the fall we would call them pod plants. Being curious, I would peel open the brown seed pods and see the silky seed "parachutes".
I had a huge wart on my left hand. Older brother told me, dab it with milkweed several times a day. Keep doing it until the wart dissolves.
It only took a few days and the wart become soft. I picked the wart off and it bled a little bit. There was sort of a depression that later healed and no more wart. Ever again. It didn't grow back.
Milkweed also has other medicinal purposes, thanks for the video.
Yes I have used that, the result was one hundred PERCENT 😊
I buy the wild lettuce pills and since using it my pain is so much better wish I had know this years ago. It is nice to take something that does not make me tired or loopy. It is the best thing I ever took for pain.
I have lots of tall blue lettuce (lactuca biennis) growing in my backyard. I discovered what it was only a couple years ago when I decided to let one grow out of curiosity. Normally I would just cut them with my string trimmer. It got to around 13 feet tall before it died when winter hit. I'm in South Louisiana.
Thats great you have a Lactuca variety in your backyard. It doesnt have as high a content of Lactucin and Lactucopicrin as Lactusa Virosa, but it still has medicinal properties and medicine can be made out of it! 🧪

I use white maeng da Kratom and I am addicted to it . I need to go back to wild lettuce. Kratom is great, I love it , but, I really got addicted because I decided to use it 4 times a day for a year and tried to stop and withdrawals are horrible..
Ive tried Kratom and know what you mean. They act like it is harmless, but since its an opium agonist plant that acts on our opium receptors in the brain it will cause opium like addiction and withdraws. The tolerance you quickly build up with kratom sucks too, because you need more and more of it to get the same effects you got in the past. if you are dealing with pain I would try other things like a diet and exercise approach with other herbs like turmeric, ginger, rosemary, feverfew, capsaicin, boswellia and try to stay away from long term kratom use or at least cycle it in a few times a month during extreme pain, but kratom can also cause dopamine depletion and make you feel like a zombie after awhile. But for real, Diet, Exercise like running and weight lifting can help alot of physical problems. Stretching, mobility, yoga, lots of sleep and using those massage guns on the affected area really help. Oral CBD is great too. Hope that helps friend! 🌿
As much as I agree with all the advice to deal with the pain...if u don't deal with the addiction the pain will always be secondary. Pls as someone who's been there and came out the other side.
uhm... I got a news flash for you. Wild lettuce isn't going to get you off an opiate.
You'll still need to go through the withdrawls, etc...
Try milk thistle for pain. I use both kratom and milk thistle myself. I've been able to bring my kratom intake down to about a table spoon a day now. Just taper off over a few weeks. Wild lettuce is great but my body doesn't like it.
Kratom wd is horrible. I'm even having seizure like attacks when I start falling asleep. It's horrible. I don't use heavy opiates anymore, so I abused it really bad. Now I'm a slave to Kratom and it's almost killed me a few times mixing it with alcohol

There are every kind of wild lettuce around here. It brings out the alchemist in me now that I know what to look for.
Thats a great way to put it! WE ARE ALCHEMISTS OF HERBALISM! 🧪
Well I wouldn't look here, cause wild lettuce has absolutely ZERO opioid properties whatsoever. People have been snake-oiling wild lettuce as some "opium alternative" for a long time now.
These medicine works well but I've got a very high tolerance for opiates and I've tried everything even this plant and it doesn't work for me but works great for my friend who introduced me to this i hope this is something that will catch on to others for using it is better than nothing at all
I smoke this and have been for more than a few years now, this stuff works great for sleep and pain.
Please, don't listen to these people in the comments, who say it don't work... you must find the best plant as there is many different species of the Wild Lettuce
You should be looking for 4-6-foot-tall plants with yellow or purple flowers with tiny spine needles on the bottom of the stem. with dandelion looking leaves. Best time to Harvest is right before all the flowers are open, as that's when the plant is most potent.
Please, don't use any leave that have any spots or have turned brown, just throw them away.
If you want to use as a tea, you might want to add a dash of salt and sweeten to taste. the salt takes a lot of the bitterness out.
you can use Honey, Maple syrup, or just about any sweetener you like.
If I make a tea, I use the caned sweetened Kool-Aid in mine.
I find it taste so much better.
When I harvest plants, I hang them upside down for a day (24 hours), then dehydrate in a fan less heated Dehydrator for 3-4 days or until crisp to touch. then mash them up with a wire potato masher. and smoke in just a reg. pipe
you can also use 50/50 with medical cannabis, for the same Mood boost.
I am no Doctor or anything like that, I'm just user and this is how I use it.
I do recommend you see a real doctor before use. as this has had some adverse or allergic reacting to some people. most people have no problems with use but just in case see your doctor first, please!
The thing I like about Wild lettuce, is it helps A LOT with my pain, and you I don't get that weird feeling like in pain meds I've taken in the past before I found out about this stuff.
Hope it helps you as it has helped me.

Around the time I was like 10 I think, we had a lot of this plant variety in our garden, and some years it grew taller than me (was probably around 150cm) and had finger-thick trunks with small spikes, and it would always be sticky with this liquid when you broke them.
I used to spend the day struggling to pluck them from the ground, then carrying more than I could barely hold to feed to our chicken. It always seemed like they particularly enjoyed that plant more than others. I guess now I know why.
I smoke this and have been for more than a few years now, this stuff works great for sleep and pain.
Please, don't listen to these people in the comments, who say it don't work... you must find the best plant as there is many different species of the Wild Lettuce
You should be looking for 4-6-foot-tall plants with yellow or purple flowers with tiny spine needles on the bottom of the stem. with dandelion looking leaves. Best time to Harvest is right before all the flowers are open, as that's when the plant is most potent.
Please, don't use any leave that have any spots or have turned brown, just throw them away.
If you want to use as a tea, you might want to add a dash of salt and sweeten to taste. the salt takes a lot of the bitterness out.
you can use Honey, Maple syrup, or just about any sweetener you like.
If I make a tea, I use the caned sweetened Kool-Aid in mine.
I find it taste so much better.
When I harvest plants, I hang them upside down for a day (24 hours), then dehydrate in a fan less heated Dehydrator for 3-4 days or until crisp to touch. then mash them up with a wire potato masher. and smoke in just a reg. pipe
you can also use 50/50 with medical cannabis, for the same Mood boost.
I am no Doctor or anything like that, I'm just user and this is how I use it.
I do recommend you see a real doctor before use. as this has had some adverse or allergic reacting to some people. most people have no problems with use but just in case see your doctor first, please!
The thing I like about Wild lettuce, is it helps A LOT with my pain, and you I don't get that weird feeling like in pain meds I've taken in the past before I found out about this stuff.
Hope it helps you as it has helped me.
Just one guy's opinion.
I love your post regarding the wild lettuce.
I've eaten the tall red/purple topped variety with only slight numbness in my mouth but it went away as quick as it started and I've consumed much since. I'm a big supporter for medical cannabis but never thought about a 50/50 smoke mix,,, I'm gunna try that today,, after all it is 420 now hehe
So In short, its not euphoric?
so do you only smoke the leaves and not the flowers or stems?
I think your talking about another "weed" that grows naturally 😂😎
Excellent production, and narratives! As a cautionary forgager, i look at various wild plants/weeds that are relatively low in oxalates for ingesting to reap certain benefits. To the best of my knowledge wild lettuce, is low in oxalates. Subworthy, thank you!
I was reducing my extract last night while I slept and couldn’t even get out of bed I felt soooo good. Did not think the vapor would be so potent but it was. I’m reducing with my windows open tonight so I don’t end up late to work again lol😂!
Worse than worthless goof juice that gives you a terrible buzz (similar to a Valium buzz). I drank a teaspoon of it and I hated the buzz so bad that I had to drink two bottles of red wine to get rid of the wild lettuce buzz. I love opium, but wild lettuce is a worthless substitute for it in my opinion.
When to harvest and how much for a tea ? I got a whole field of it!!
You should do a video on stinging nettle. Keep finding white vervain and white snake root. Theres one that looks like it but i cant get any info on it.
I do have plans to make a Stinging Nettle video in the future! Its such a fascinating and nutritious plant. I should be able to get to it in a few months. 🌿
@@WalkInTheWildMedia sweet I'll stay tuned!
White vervain is a sleep aid
Blend a whole small lettuce into a drink, especially the stalk, for a good nights sleep or for a sore digestive tract.
Thats a great idea! Im going to have to try that method. sounds so quick and easy, instead of the whole drying and extraction process with alcohol in a pinch! 🌿
I've been using opiods for a couple of years to help with chronic gut cramps, spasms and IBD. How well might lettuce opium work for it?
@@roberttolman5946 Worth exploring but with medical advice, there are lettuce and there are lettuce!
It might help if you stop eating foods using modern wheat. Try sourdough bread. Look up Barbara O'Neill.@@roberttolman5946
Thanks! I've been looking for this plant, and I think it grows here. I have a chronic pain syndrome, and some relief would be nice. Question: is this found in Pennsylvania? We have similar looking plants, and I'm just not sure! I'm looking for relief, not a trip to the ER.....Please & Thank you!
PS: I did look look it up, but I could not find information on whether it's found here, so I'm not sure what plant I'm looking at.
You're welcome Stephanie! Im happy you found some information that will hopefully help you find pain relief for your condition that is going on with your hands.
Yes, wild lettuce also known as prickly lettuce or Lactuca serriola, can be found in Pennsylvania. It is a common weed that grows in various habitats, including fields, roadsides, waste areas, and disturbed sites throughout much of North America, including Pennsylvania. You will likely find it growing outside this spring and summer. You can also buy seeds and it grows easily like other lettuces.
Some other plants and herbs you might look into for their nervine and analgesic properties for pain management are:
Willow Bark (Salix spp.): Willow bark contains salicin, which is similar to aspirin and has been used for centuries to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has anti-inflammatory properties and may help alleviate pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale): Ginger has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and may help reduce muscle pain and soreness.
Capsaicin (Capsicum annuum): Found in chili peppers, capsaicin can desensitize pain receptors in the skin, leading to temporary pain relief. It is often used in topical creams for conditions like arthritis and neuropathic pain.
Arnica (Arnica montana): Arnica is commonly used in topical preparations for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, particularly for muscle aches and bruises.
Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens): Devil's claw has been traditionally used to relieve joint pain and inflammation, and some research suggests it may be beneficial for conditions like osteoarthritis.
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa): Kratom contains compounds that act on opioid receptors in the brain and may have pain-relieving effects. However, it also carries potential risks and side effects and is a subject of regulatory scrutiny. (Take sparingly can be addictive, because it does act on the opioid receptors)
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis): Valerian root has mild sedative properties and may help alleviate pain associated with muscle tension and stress.
Hope that helps Stephanie! I hope you can find relief. Exercise and Diet are huge too. Also long warm baths in Epsom salt, and daily meditation are known to help too!
@@WalkInTheWildMedia Oh...now I feel bad. That was a ton of great info, but I grow ginger & turmeric, I've used kratom- it makes me feel weird and gives me a headache. I've had chronic pain for 11 years, and I take NO pain meds. I was familiar with all the others, as well. That's why I feel bad- you wrote a book for me and I feel like I wasted your time. BUT, I do think what I found is the wild lettuce (we have the look alike, too). But I REALLY appreciate the very thorough answer... You really know your stuff! WOWZERS! 😃😃
@@stephaniegreen6888 You are welcome! I will keep researching and try to come up with some other remedies and herbal options that may help you. Could you tell me more in detail and about your conditions and the symptoms you experience. Physiological and Mental, or anything you can think of to give me more information that may give us clues into what route to take and options to try. 🌿
@@WalkInTheWildMedia You don't have to do this....But, if you want to, look up Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. It sucks, believe me- horrible pain, swollen knee for 11 years, neuropathic pain. Worst part is that any little injury, including a needle from a blood draw can cause permanent disability. I have gotten exactly NO care from 'doctors'. Not that I want a bucket of pills, but I asked for a valid treatment used for CRPS, and I just got 'we don't do that', and sent home. But, I will NOT touch an opioid! I deal with it, but I'm primarily looking for pain relief. I've tried a lot of things, to no avail. Thanks Doc!!🤣😂
I been trying to prepare this plant for years & never been sucessful
Theres tons of great videos on RUclips showing extraction and preparation methods. Check out Feral Foraging's video on how to dry it in a dehydrator, blend it up with high grain alcohol like vodka or everclear, then evaporate it again in a dehydrator with a silicone sheet, and your left with a sticky brown sap that you can make a tincture out of in a eye dropper bottle.
I still haven't found anyone who discusses what you would typically consume as a "dose"
A tea cup of hot water and steep how much of what part of the plant in it.... ? any hints?
Dried leaves and powdered leaves can be used to make tea by steeping 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dried herb or 1 to 2 teaspoons of the powder into a cup of boiling water. Take 2 times a day for pain.
For Capsules of the plant: 400 milligrams (mg) per day once in the morning and once at night. 200mg per dose.
For Tincture: 1 full dropper full, two times daily.
The extract will have more sedative effects, and is great before bed for sleep.
The plant is very bitter, so be prepared for it to not have the most appealing flavor. A little honey, stevia, monk fruit or xylitol will help. It also helps to mix it with mint or something fruity like hibiscus.
Hope that helps Michael! 🌿
@@WalkInTheWildMediaThanks for the info! 😊
Just wanted to point out that opium poppies are legal to grow in the US. Many different seed companies sell the seeds. They're beautiful flowers. I'm not suggesting anyone get addicted to opium, though. Better to stick with wild lettuce for pain relief.
THERE IS AN EGYPTIAN STORE NEAR ME , I BUY THEIR ESSENTIAL OILS FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES SKIN ,TOOTH ACHE , BOWEL MOVEMENTS , DISCOLORED TOE NAILS , CUTS AND BRUISES , THE ONE THAT I RARELY USE IS TEA TREE , VERY TOXIC , . BE VERY CAREFUL HOW YOU USE YEA TREE ...
I am impressed with this high quality video, i am now a subscriber
That shit I literally growing in my backyard. Not only that… but it is fucking impossible to eradicate. It keeps coming back and grows taller than my balls within a couple of weeks. No idea it had a use.
are the stalks bristly? I think I might have some of these plants growing wild in my yard after several on and off days of April and May rainstorms. I don't want to make a mistake and poison myself... but visibly they do have foliage like wild lettuce. and have blooms that look like Dandelions. 🤔
Apparently there are no look alikes that are poisonous. Do your own research though.
@@YuckFoutube-e1z Thanx Man 😀
Polk berries are also a pain reliever in small amounts
Just be careful, Ive heard to only take one or 2 berries a week. I think there are better pain relieving options than Pokeweed Berries. The toxic alkaloids can have different side effects for different people.
@@WalkInTheWildMedia Correct, i read up too 8 berries but always start with one then two etc…. Thanks for the reply
@@xstorm_8_shadowx No problem XStorm! Thanks for the comment friend. 😁
In rome they made a soup of this lettuce for new mothers that were not producing milk for their babies.
Thats very fascinating! Thanks for sharing your wisdom Susan! 🌿
@@WalkInTheWildMedia not wisdom. I just read a lot. Back 50 years ago I got interested in herbs and natural remedies and I ran across wild lettuce in the herbal books and one had a bit of history about how people used it. Back 50 years ago I read a ton. Even spent a summer in the library reading the "reference" books they don't let you take home. A lot of interesting and weird stuff. I felt like I was stuffing my brain with all sorts of info. It was great when watching "Jeopardy " and having the answers pop up in my mind. (Didn't work on the subjects about sports or opera. Totally clueless about those subjects). 🙂
Thank you
Wish I knew this when I was breast feeding
There should be a warning with this as there are many plants/weeds that look similar with milky sap that is very bad for you. It’s a common rule of thumb if the sap is milky don’t ingest it or rub a little on your skin first to see if you have any redness appear
We have a couple of tons of this growing in our fields. Literally. We have a christmas tree farm and it's the "plant of the year" that went nuts growing this year.
Ya i havent used weed killers on my property for over 10 years,so i can enjoy my weeds without worry.
First video i watched. Great knowledge!! And so necessary!! Terrible what big pharma has done to us!
New sub
great video thank you my question is i am into cannabis but where i live right now is totally illegal i wander if i can get cannabis like high feeling with this beside pain relief i am taking pills and tired of them really hurts my kidneys too. i have ankilozan spondylitis thanks
I thought I was cultivating wild lettuce in FLORIDA. Same stem, jagged leaves, grows tall, but has same size PURPLE FLOWERS, Anybody??? @Walk in the Wild
I'm an amateur, but from videos I heard about one variety of blue flowered lettuce and also I think chicory has blue or purple flowers.
These medicine works well but I've got a very high tolerance for opiates and I've tried everything even this plant and it doesn't work for me but works great for my friend who introduced me to this i hope this is something that will catch on to others for using it is better than nothing at all
You could look into mind over matter if nothing works for you, placebo & nocebo effects & pain relief through you meridian system- acupressure 😊
@@haelleah369livelovelaugh I've actually done the acupuncture or however it's spelled Sry spelling is awful it worked for a few pains i have was a passenger in a awful accident at age 36 and destroyed my right hip it was replaced and for 3yrs almost 4 it was in awful pain and the doctors said it was fine and nothing was wrong with it and I was drug seeking and then their was a recall for the implant and I was on the News and everything eventually it was replaced that's been since 2014 the rod wasn't cemented in and the head fell apart was a mess it's much better now than B4 my Left elbow was destroyed also has a mesh plate and 9 screws it doesn't bother me to much but my right shoulder was fractured from a previous motorcycle accident and I didn't have it repaired and it's to the point now that half of my hand is starting to feel numb and very weak . I think acupuncture would definitely help it. Sry about the long story 🤣 and that's the shortened story 🤣👍 . Thanks for your advice also
this is a good ID video i wish it was on youtube 5 years ago when i was looking for this plant i now know what it looks like.
Slight correction. You can never be 100% sure of identification. And if you're second guessing it nibble a small piece and see how it makes your body feel. Yes, can be poisonous, in what dosage? Nibble generally won't kill you. And if it does it was your time.
Lmfao

Unfortunately you are misidentifying your portion on egypt, many of the plants you show are not what you think they are. Not your fault, Egyptology is mostly an unorganized grift.
Thanks for the comment Danielleahy15. I realized the plants shown in that section weren't all wild lettuce, but Papyrus and Lotus. I just wanted to get the point across because I couldn't find any exact pics of wild lettuce in tomb hieroglyphics. I love Egyptology, and im always trying to learn more about it. They were an amazing civilization!
It can't be bans on growing it since it's wild, almost everywhere, and it multiplies quickly
How mature does the plant need to be? Could I use the microgreen version?
The microgreen stage of the plant may not contain significant amounts of latex, as the latex typically accumulates in older parts of the plant, such as the stems. So ideally you would want to use larger plants if the lactucin and lactucopicrin content is what you are after.
Thanks.
I have these growing from the cracks of my driveway and they refuse to quit growing. I have tried everything to stop them from coming back, but so far they have been relentless. Coupled them out from what I thought was the roots. My husband sprayed weed killer on the hole, after pulling it out. He even tried pouring hot oil down the hole. Then it still regrew! I even tried repaving the whole damn driveway and this sucker has pushed through the cracks again. At first it just looked brown and almost dead, but then green shooters came out and now it’s recovering from what we did to try to stamp it out. I don’t know what else to try? Between this relentless zombie plant and the cicada killer wasps that made a home under my driveway and also pushed their way through the repaved cement, I just can’t win? The roots of this plant must go deep or far and wide.
I should also mention, I had an allergic reaction or something from getting the sap or milk on my skin and then being in the sun. It created a burning sensation and caused my skin to burn and peel off. I tried washing it off first with just water and then with soap and water and it didn’t do much. I think the damage was done because it had been on my skin too long. I don’t know if anyone else has had this experience, but it has kept me from trying to get rid of it again. I’m also allergic to raw wild onions, scallions, chives, and leeks. Once cooked it doesn’t bother me, but when raw it burns my skin as if I put raw jalapeño on it. Not sure why I’m like this, but it’s annoying lol.
Cheers I’m in Australia it’s winter time here but 4 weeks away from spring. I live south of Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 near a town called Manjimup. 295 kms Dead South but 120 kms from the Indian ocean 😂😂 SAYS A NAVIGATOR TO HIS PILOT 😂😉🇦🇺 Anyways this plant will in the next 4 weeks be in huge blooms, I mean our cattle and sheep eat this stuff come spring time by the bucket load daily. Hence why we have amazing dairy and beef , wool, lamb. Says the market entrepreneurs of the country 🤑😂. But I never knew about this and DAMM do all of it’s benefits sound like my long lost soul mate.😞. But I’m going to try some myself and if successful I’m going to make it in the 100s of kilos in extract and give it out for bloody free. Just might be what the world needs right now. Right on Mann.👍❤️🙏
You know you can just go down to the garden store and buy poppies...
Yeah thats true if you want to get addicted real quick lol. Id try to avoid any opium agonist substances as long as possible unless my leg got blown off 💥
I read you shouldn't use it if you have prostate problems. I have BPH and they are right. Don't use if you have prostate problems.
It's latex not opium. Try it in tandem with THC. Only eat a small bite after de-spineing. It's bitter . This is my own recipe, not saying it medically sound. It's how I deal with pain.
There is No substitute for the effects of Real Opium, or it would Not be called Opium, it goes beyond the pain effects.! AMEN
Has anyone used this to help wean themselves off of opiates? Or maybe because it doesnt affect the opiate receptors it does NOT work for opiate withdrawals? Please lettuce know.
(HAhahaha! Sorry, i just had to throw that out there. 😂
I took the leftover minced lettuce and dried it out. I put it in a cigarette tube and smoked it. The taste was a bit strong but not bad. I didn't think it did anything until I drove to go get real cigarettes . Then I noticed that I could see every piece of gravel and crack on the road as I drove, tunnel vision. This made me "happy" and amazed. I became extra aware what I focused my mind on, but other things just didn't matter. Only a few times it didn't work as well. This year I going to cure the leaves like tobacco and use just the stalks for the latex.
درود واقعا خیلی عالیه آیا شیره یا تنتور کاهوی وحشی از خماری به تریاک جلو گیری میکند ❤من از ایران هستم درود به همه مردم دنیا❤

Thats awesome Frank. How to you like to process it to maximize its pain relieving compounds? 🌿
@@WalkInTheWildMedia I put the sap on rolling papers and add some good smoke
@@frankmcmahon5820 Thats interesting Frank, if you really want to experience more benefits, I would make a tincture of the sap and ingest it orally. Just like CBD and THC with Cannabis.

Can I cook stews with it
The main difference between this and opium is you won't go to prison or lose your driver's license. I use both to make beer, but I prefer opium.. 😂❤
Great video! I would like to find out where to get seeds for wild lettuce. Please, if you could help me, that would be great! Thanks.
This plant helped me survive unserviceable pain. FREE..💯
Great video and super awesome idea for a channel I just happened to click on your video and I immediately subscribed. End in addition I would like to make a video request could you maybe do one on green Mormon tea or ephedra Nevada?
Dude, this stuff grows all over my property.
Thats great! Youve got a cornucopia of medicine all around you! 😁
I just sprayed the hell out of a bunch of these weeds in my back yard with Roundup. I'm soo soooo sorry.
took it, made me sick & tired... it did not block any pain... does not work... if you take too much it will put you to sleep
Like all herbs, it may act on peoples systems differently. It does help people with pain, and people have expressed that in the comments. What type of pain are you experiencing?
so its an ACE inhibitor? what baout the very nearly identical look alike species of plants?
its grows everywhere in south west part of iran during winter and spring no wonder thats when i was child 5 6 i got sick and dizzy while using these plants as arrow or sword while playing with other children once i had throw ups for near 12hours i dont think its should be used for children and babies because of its effects
It's also in the lettuce I'm growing I literally just went out slit a stem and scraped the sap and I kid u not from the little bit I gathered with my knife I feel it almost immediately a relief to my aches my legs and it's so sticky my lips are glued literally. I transplanted it too in a cup of water to grow more.
dont forget the poppy plant is natural and the opium that comes from it...a wonder plant with issues. what about wild lettuce.
That picture of the drug lady isn't opium btw, that's Meth.
the effect is nowhere near as strong as opium and if you ingest too much trying to take a lot and get that high you can hurt yourself because it has silica that builds up in the body
(you'll start noticing lumps near your armpits on your arms because the lymph system gets clogged)
We knew, the last three generations call it crazy and opted for over the counter and street stuff. .
Yeah people need to get back to understanding the medicinal properties of the natural plants all around us. 🌿
Yes, salat has opiumish things in it. And it is working stronger in female them males. Thats why women like salat more.
No longer necessary since global control of the opium trade was established?
I tried Wild Lettuce for a year. Didn't do a damn thing for my chronic pain 😢
It looks like poach salad. My grandmother used to make poach salad.
I have a boat load of wild lettuce and will be pulling and drying it for later processing.

ate wild lettuce while watching the video I eat the leafs raw to retain potency, I wouldn't drive on it due to it's sedating effects but its not a recreational sedation more like a sleep aid
I use it it works,and whenever our dogs are hurting it works for the.m too.

@@WalkInTheWildMedia also.. Wold lettuce instead isn't what opiate addicts seem..because the only comparison is the pain center in the brain. It's not pain relief that many addicts seek even if that's how some become addicted.
@@SparkiMcSparks Yes I do hope all the addicts in the world can find solace and peace one day. 💖💖
@@SparkiMcSparks Yes the lactucin and lactucopicrin which are the main pain relieving active compounds in wild lettuce are nowhere near as powerful for pain relief and sedation as Opium Agonist drugs that act on the opium receptors in the brain.
The nick name for Wild Lettuce throughout the years is "Opium Lettuce, or Poor Man's Opium" but that title is slightly misleading because they are expecting the plant to have the same type of effect as opium. Thats why so many people are researching this plant on RUclips. Thats what I wanted to clear up in this video and show that its not opium at all. The thumbnail is meant to be a little click baity because it took me 2 weeks to edit this video, and id like to get some views on it to make all that hard work worth while.
I think alot of addicts that abuse opiates and other similar narcotics are also addicted to the massive dopamine rush they get from taking them. Ive had friends go down that route and they had no injuries or pain at all, but just loved the high from them. Which sucks cuz people in actual pain need them for daily relief. its sad all around. I hope whoever she is, she is doing better and happier and im sorry that slide offended you.
Have a great day Sparki and im glad you have been enjoying my videos! I hope to help you learn more about plants in the future!
