    Apparently this is like an opium high, without the side effects. Anyone tried this? I believe it's also known as opium lettuce but I might be wrong.

    I've read its a lot like opium too, but 'without the side effects' usually just means it's milder, which, it certainly is. There's two types grow wild around Britain, both with similar properties, but I've never tried it myself as it sounds like a bit of a bitch to collect enough of the actual sap.

    Did you get direct from the plant?

    If so, any easy way to go about it?

    either smoke through a water pipe or as a tea with lots of honey

    I got a pre rolled joint of it off the net, but it had hardly any effect. Just made me feel a little drowsy.

    because it was a placebo thats why i can hardly remember my experience with it, but my friends do and clearly vouch that there was effect.

    Well- to be blunt- you and your friends must be some light weights!


    Hold your breath and squeeze your chest and you'll get more of a buzz!

    I don't know what those 'Legal High' folks have been talking about this time, but wild lettuce isn't a placebo as such. If you do opium it's probably pretty crap, but a non-drug person might find it lovely. A few people have said already it's fairly nice and mellow.

    I'm not much of a fan of pre-packed legal high products, just on principal or embarrasement, one of the two! But espicially when it comes to wild lettuce which is one of the most prominent wild plants in Britain.

    There's surely enough out there to get you pretty mashed if you knock the intake up. Just, who could be arsed collecting enough of it.

    i was reading on the lycaeum forums (http://forums.lycaeum.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi) about an extraction that is truely no joke. basically you have to get a leaf or two and place it in some water and cover with suran wrap and let it sit, i think for a day it said, and when u get it it will have made the water brown, discard the leaf(s) and place the water in a wok. where u will simmer for 20 mins i think it said then once that time is up there will only be a thick sludge that lines the inside of the wok, then scrape with a exacto knife, roll into balls or what have u and smoke. they said it was pretty sticky stuff but yea it shouldnt be too hard to handle. but they also said that this was a very potent way of extraction and that by doing this , though the high is pretty short, you will definatly feel sedated

    The leaf sucks. The resin extract is nice and relaxing.
