Wild Lettuce Tincture (2 oz.)

Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa), also known as “poor man’s opium” or “Lettuce Opium”, has been around for centuries. It garnered its Latin prefix “lac,” which means milk, because of the plant’s bitter white sap.

Wild lettuce dates back to Ancient Greece when around 430 BC, Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, described the opiate-like effects of its sap. The Egyptians apparently used this potent lettuce to increase their sex drive, likely due to the plant’s stimulating effects at higher doses.
