It grows all over the world, including all states and territories of Australia.

Thought that’s Lactuca Virosa ( Opium lettuce) because of the broad leaf and not Prickly lettuce, (Lactuca serriola)

I'm curious how one could prepare this to eat, thanks.

So virosa or serriola? I’m getting confused… 🤔

Wild lettuce is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people in small amounts.

Wild lettuce is LIKELY UNSAFE when eaten in large amounts or when the wild lettuce has been harvested too early. This can cause sweating, fast heartbeat, pupil dilation, dizziness,  ringing in the ears,  vision changes, sedation, breathing difficulty, and death.

Applying wild lettuce directly to the skin can cause irritation. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of wild lettuce during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

Enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia,  BPH): Don't use wild lettuce if you have this condition. It contains a chemical that can harm people who have trouble urinating.

Allergy to ragweed and related plants: Wild lettuce may cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family. Members of this family include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many others. If you have allergies, be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking wild lettuce.

Narrow-angle glaucoma: Don't use wild lettuce if you have this eye condition. It contains a chemical that might make glaucoma worse.
