Three young adult drug users obtained wild lettuce and valerian root, prepared a crude aqueous extract of the wild lettuce, and injected the extract i.v. One also injected an alcohol extract of the valerian root. All 3 rapidly became ill with fevers, chills, abdominal pain, flank and back pain, neck stiffness, headache, leucocytosis and mild liver function abnormalities, but recovered over the next 3 d. Various literature and internet sources claim that wild lettuce has opiate properties not demonstrated in this case.
三名年轻的吸毒者获取了野生生菜和缬草根，制备了野生生菜的粗水提取物，并静脉注射了该提取物。其中一人还注射了缬草根的酒精提取物。三人都很快出现了发热、寒战、腹痛、胁腹和背痛、颈部僵硬、头痛、白细胞增多以及轻度肝功能异常等症状，但在接下来的三天内康复。各种文献和网络资料声称野生生菜具有阿片样特性，但本案例中并未证实这一点。
