It's wild lettuce.Its also a medicinal herb.When it starts to mature and flower you break a leaf off or cut the stem slightly it oozes a white Latex.This is made into a tincture for a natural form of painkiller. In the Civil War, they used it when they didn't have morphine.

It’ll give you terrible diarrhea if you eat it after it bolts though.


Aggravating-Room1594

Thats a super good detail to know.


GottaDabEmAll

Rainbow diarrhea apparently


AddictiveArtistry

Diarrhea for Pride? Nice.


bikeonychus

Thankyou! I also have this in my garden, and knew it wasn’t dandelion, because I have plenty of them and the leaves are different. 


Hot-Welcome6969

I can see how people think it's a dandelion. It does remind one of a dandelion


AddictiveArtistry

It's in the dandelion trice, in the daisy family.


SectsHaver

Neat!


lrp347

That’s so interesting!


alr126

Never knew that


UnamedStreamNumber9

I call it giant dandelion


no1youdknow

I guess that’s why I always heard it called “ milk weed” while I was growing up.


PoetryGloomy1794

Milkweed is a large species of plants with flowers. Monarch butterflies depend on it their entire lives laying eggs, forming the chrysalis and worms to providing its only food.


Silent_Shooby

Good salads!!!

Lactuca serriola or Prickly Lettuce. NOT A DANDELION


ecolonaut

Looks like a Lactuca.


suzi-r

That’s my vote, too


voldugur21

Looks like wild lettuce. Feel if the back of the leaves are spikey. If so, it is.


DAGanteakz

Life finds a way.

Thanks, Jeff

Break a stem and see if white stuff comes out, if it does it’s wild lettuce.. good for headaches/pain


GemGuy56

I tried a drop of the sap to see if it works for pain. It’s bitter, but my pain was gone quick.


jssmithx

Yes it’s very bitter.. look up wild lettuce tincture


i_cut_like_a_buffalo

A drop of the sap killed your pain??? Shit i need to find this plant!


Mermaid467

Mine's a rogue tomato plant 🙄 https://preview.redd.it/e55w8gl0qm6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c99dd59d6883931c91d75517b80dd0109404a8ed


alleecmo

Someone dropped a tomato slice at a BBQ.


Bugler28

Yes! 😂👍🏼


Pennyfeather46

Probably dandelions.


AdOne8433

Canada lettuce


WARRIORS_30_GOAT

OneHumanPeOple

I think this plant is called “tall lettuce.” Lactuca biennis


ratchetology

dandelion


Time_Change4156

I'm with you . Dandelions


jack-of-all-trades81

I was thinking dandelion too, but now I'm not sure. I'd be nice to see the underside of the leaf.


OneImagination5381

I used to harvest it for burns.


Present-Pen-5486

Did you ingest or rub it on the burns?


OneImagination5381

Rub it on the burn. It will turn blue but disappear after a day. But it numb the sting right away.


[deleted]

Looks like a thistle


hwrd69

Not one you can smoke


MS1947

This is Lactuca canadensis, Canadian Lettuce, native to all North America.


Hot-Welcome6969

It looks to me to be of the Endive variety of the lettuce genus. But don't rely on my identification, let us remember I'm no expert on lettuce.


CatLadyHM

🤦‍♀️


AddictiveArtistry

Prickly lettuce. In the dandelion tribe, daisy family. These mfs grow SUPER tall. I have a few around my 3 ft tall milkweed and they are nearly 4 ft.

Beautiful


timk333

CandleburgJack

Wild lettuce. Great medicinal properties when used right.


TheSameHoneyHam

Not the one that will get you high


Kurtsoitgos

Looks like baby arugula.


deepinmycups

Opium lettuce


Lazy-Hooker

If I could make opium from a driveway plant I'd be rich


deepinmycups

I think whatever it produces targets the same receptors that opioids do,what my wife says anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️


Accordingly_Onion69

Tasty until it flowers


First-Confusion-5713

It's a salad green. Part of the dandelion family. Slightly bitter taste. Typically used in a mixed greens salad. We topped ours with edible flowers. It's cool to have if you have the rest of the ingredients and want a $50 salad for free and 25 cents worth of salad dressing. Better to gather greens from a box you planted though. It's just safer.


Nonbiinerygremlin

It's so circular I could stare at it all day


richknobsales

Use Google lens to find out!


SDBD89

Looks like some OG Bobby Johnson


General_Chicken6238

rockofthewesties1975

rockofthewesties1975

You can also dry the leaves and smoke themfot pain .It gives you a mild high like weed.


rajkaos

Kind of looks like London Rocket. 


Ok_Water_6884

Guess who never had to do yard work a day in their life? Had a relative that would go to unsprayed fields and bring home a bagfull and cook them with scrambled eggs. Real nummy.
