Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa)

Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) is in Nederland bekend als gifsla. Het komt van nature voor in Midden- en Zuid-Europa en in Noord-Azië. Het kruid heeft ongeveer hetzelfde effect, als opium maar dan minder sterk.

Effecten

Wild lettuce wordt gebruikt als ontspannende en verzachtende kruidenthee. De werking is vergelijkbaar met opium maar zonder de verslavende bijwerkingen. Het zorgt voor een betere nachtrust.

Het kruid geeft zwakke zenuwen een welldadige rust. Wild lettuce wordt ook gebruikt bij rusteloze kinderen omdat het kruid ontspant en goed is voor geestelijke balans.

Het kan hulp bieden als onderdeel van een holistische kruidenbehandeling bij hoest en geïrriteerde luchtwegen. Daarnaast heeft het kruid ook afrodiserende eigenschappen.

Gebruik

Wild lettuce kan als thee worden gedronken: laat 1 - 2 theelepels een kwartier trekken in een kopje gekookt water. Dit moet drie maal daags gedronken worden.

Een andere methode is het maken van een extract. Week 1 gram wild lettuce in warm water (niet kokend) gedurende 8 uur. Zeef en druk al het vocht uit de wild lettuce. Doe de donkere vloeistof in een pan and laat het vocht verdampen. Door de pan met de vloeistof in een grotere pan met kokend water te zetten, vermijd je dat wild lettuce verbrand. Aan het eind houd je een soort gom-achtige substantie over die je kan gebruiken als opium.

Waarschuwing

Wees voorzichtig met de dosering; tests hebben uitgewezen dat bij kleine testdieren zelfs een matige overdosis zeer giftig kan zijn.

“i´ve made a alcoholic extract.

let it absorve for 3 days and then filter it and let it evapore for 1 or 2 days..

“I went through the time and the effort to make the wild lettuce extract. At first i was skeptical because of the many bad reviews i read threw on several different sites, saying thats its not worth the time because it simply does not work. I used the method including soaking the plant in a large bowl of worm but not boiling water for 8 hours and then after squeezing all the juices out of the plant and putting it in a pan which is then placed in another pan of boiling water to quickly evaporate the liquid in the secondary pan which causes the dark liquid to evaporate instead of boiling thus, risking destroying the active ingredient that makes the whole thing work in the first place and i must say after actually making and smoking the extract i was pleasantly surprised i was very calm and tranquil i did indeed get a buzz that i actually liked. A weed like high i guess you could say but its not exactly the same. It wasn't harsh, quit smooth compared to what i expected. i smoked two large pee sized gum balls between me and my older cuz and he also like the results he often has sleeping problems as do i. I believe that this would work well as a sleep aid even tho it dosent really make you tired.. but yeah i am happy with how it came out. to think i harvested this plant from my back yard a plant that i had seem many times before but never knew what it could be turned into..lol.. some people said it was similar to opium, hence the name "opium lettuce" but i cant really used that as a comparison saying Ive never tried opium lol.. so if you were wondering if its worth the time and effort. yah i would say go for it its not bad and its free so you aint got nothen to loose unless your a jack ass that will mistake this plant that you can get many pictures of all over the net, for another highly toxic plant then i guess thats your fault but other than that i believe its worth it.... have fun.. oh and i was wondering if anybody tried the alcohol method for making the extract, and how that worked out for you?”

“i had a migraine for 3 years that even doctors couldnt get rid of. and i just add like half a teaspoon to my teabags when i make tea. and it cured me i cant drink the tea all day and not have to worry bout overdose and it gives me a calm mellow feeling and no migraine. and in such small doses and water down with the tea i give my kids a little bit and it calms them down, but please do be cautious with giving to children even in small amounts can be poisonous and fatal so dont over do it please. i shouldnt of said that, now some moron will od their kids. please dont. and its works if you smoke the leaves also, though it is very harsh( i mixed it with weed and it was a very relaxing, pain relieving buzz) i have also make a tea from the leaves in my coffee maker, its very bitter, if you like herbal tea you may like it. although it does not get you high it is a cheap pain reliver like 2$ an ounce at my local herb store, and its legal and non additing. i am goin to try the gum thing, even though it has a bad review and its alot of work to not get high and a higher risk of overdose. but what the hell i will prolly like it. but so far with my mixing it with tea recipe, i really like it. its affordable and it cured my migraine and very useful, but its still not as good as my pot!. but if you really want something that will knock you on your ass try Salvia. just smoking the leaves one puff will mess your world up for about a minute. and its fairly cheap and legal in some places. i bought it online like $20 for an oz but just a fingernail full in a bowl with take to past cloud 9. doesnt last long but definitly worth trying with caution, cuz i smoked it lots of times and snapped out of it like a minute later and was drooling on myself and mumblin lol! and i smoke pot and do pain pills on a daily basis. so yea have fun and be safe ”
