Lactuca canadensis
Wild lettuce is excellent for grounding after magical working.
It also opens the user to the
deeper consciousness by attuning to deeper meanings. The drug resembles a weak
sort of opium without its tendency to upset the digestive system.
It
is used to a small extent as a sedative and narcotic.
The Ancients held the lettuce in
high esteem for its cooling and refreshing properties.
The Emperor Augustus attributed
his recovery from a dangerous illness to it; built an altar to it, and erected a
statue in its honor.
