Lactura, wild lettuce

But, after being on pain meds for a couple of years when I injured my back so badly I was partially paralyzed... neither does anything but straight morphine.. and even that stops working after a week or two. So, I can't use anything like that because in order to be strong enough to stop the pain, it would stop my heart.

MM Recommends harvesting whole plants, hanging them upside down to dry and then using the dried leaves as a tea for spasmodic coughing.
