⚠️⚠️ Caution ⚠️⚠️ This recipe contains strong nervines and sedative herbs (e.g., wild lettuce, skullcap, CBN, kava). Avoid using this recipe before driving, operating machinery, or combining with alcohol.These herbs may interact with prescribed pain medications (opioids, benzodiazepines, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and sleep aids), potentially increasing sedation, impairing motor coordination, or leading to dangerous respiratory depression. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before using herbal sedatives alongside prescription or over-the-counter medications.Wild Lettuce Golden Milk blends two powerful herbs: wild lettuce, known for its sedative and pain-relieving properties, and turmeric, which has long been used for its anti-inflammatory effects. The addition of black pepper helps enhance the bioavailability of turmeric's curcumin, ensuring maximum pain relief and healing. This drink not only supports neuropathic pain relief, especially in conditions like neuropathy and restless leg syndrome, but it also calms the nervous system, making it a perfect bedtime beverage.Key Terpenes & Compounds:* Wild Lettuce (Lactucarium): Analgesic, sedative, anti-inflammatory* Turmeric (Curcumin): Anti-inflammatory, pain relief, antioxidant* Black Pepper (Piperine): Enhances the absorption of curcumin and supports digestion* Ginger: Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, digestive aid

Pour the golden milk into a mug and enjoy while warm.
Betsy’s Infusion Notes:
📝 Recipe Notes📝Wild Lettuce: Wild lettuce is known for its mild sedative properties and has been traditionally used to relieve pain, especially nerve-related pain. If using wild lettuce powder, be sure to strain the mixture if you prefer a smoother texture.📝Turmeric and Black Pepper: The combination of turmeric and black pepper is not only excellent for inflammation but helps to increase the bioavailability of curcumin in turmeric. This makes it a potent ingredient for nerve pain relief.📝Sweetening: Adjust the sweetness according to your preference. If you prefer a non-sweet version, skip the sweetener or use a natural alternative like stevia or monk fruit.📝Coconut Milk: Coconut milk adds a creamy texture, but any dairy-free milk (almond, oat, soy) can be used. For added richness, try full-fat coconut milk.📝Serving Suggestion: This drink is perfect to consume before bedtime to help ease the body and mind into a peaceful sleep. It can also be enjoyed at any time of day when you need a moment of relaxation.🌿 Summary of BenefitsThis Wild Lettuce Golden Milk is a soothing, anti-inflammatory drink designed to support neuropathic pain relief, particularly for conditions like neuropathy, restless leg syndrome, and other nerve-driven pains. The combined effects of wild lettuce, turmeric, and black pepper help reduce pain, calm the nervous system, and promote relaxation, making it an excellent choice for both sleep and pain management.
Remember, everyone’s cannabis dosage tolerance is different. Only you know your tolerance preferences, so listen to your body. If you do not know where to start, go low and start slow!
Below each recipe card (this recipe included!) are Betsy’s recommended calculators that are the most helpful to calculate your final cannabis dosage!
Some people choose to start out by measuring their tolerance levels by eating a pre-dosed gummy purchased from their local dispensary. Typically, a standard gummy should be approx. 10 milligrams per piece. If you eat a whole gummy and it is too potent, start by micro-dosing your meals under 10 mg per serving. If you eat a whole gummy and it is not enough, increase your per serving potency to over 10 mg per serving.
🍴Pro Tip #2
Microwaves & Cannabis (tap here to read more….)
NEVER microwave a cannabis infused food item. The microwave will zap and kill any positive cannabinoid effects.
🍴Pro Tip #3
Infusion-Versatile Recipes (tap here to read more…)
All recipes are infusion-versatile. You do not have to infuse any recipe for excellent results. All recipes can be made without any cannabis infusion at all. You choose whether your meal will be a virgin non-infused meal, a cannabis micro-dosed meal, or a full-bodied cannabis infused meal.

Introduction to our Calculators
Below you will find one or more calculators inserted into this post applicable to the above recipe. Before you get started, here are some helpful tips on how to maximize our calculators throughout Grass with Class. Click on the 🤖 Bot Headlines 🤖 below to expand explanations to maximize every aspect of Grass with Class: Cooking with Cannabis.
🤖 How do I read my flower label? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓.
🕵Look at the Potency Percentage Profile on your Flower Label. Depending on the dominancy of the flower (CBD or THC) there will be a line that says either THCA% or CBDA%. 🕵Look for the letter “A” at the end of THC or CBD line item on the label. This is the raw, non-decarboxylated originating estimated potency for your newly purchased flower. Search for the line item on your label that says either “THCA” or “CBDA” depending on the dominant flower you are using. The numbers for this line item will be in the format of two digits a decimal point and two more digits. 👉💡 For example “CBDA 15.75% or THCA 18.72%”. Enter your label percentage into the calculator fields that call for flower label deets.
🤖 Wait, What? A Flower Label? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
If you have “lost” your label 😉, your flower THCA% or CBDA% will range roughly between 15.00% to 25.00%. 👉💡 If you know the strain of your flower, you can look up the general cannabanoid profiles that are typical for that particular strain such as Bubba Kush or Terple Purple. If you have lost your label and you do not know the flower strain, your guess is as good as ours! 🫠 👉💡 If you cannot identify your flower strain type, Betsy Bot recommends that you enter the “ceiling” or highest estimated percentage of 25.00%. per mg/g of flower. Enter this into the calculator fields that call for flower label deets. 👉💡Remember, you can always consume more but you cannot consume less.
🤖 Decarboxylate? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
📌ALL of our Potency Form Calculators assume that you intend to OR already have DECARBOXYLATED your flower. If you do not know how to decarboxylate your flower, Betsy Bot or our FAQs can help you with this step before moving on to your staple ingredient infusion. 👉💡You may notice that the potency of your flower goes down when you decarboxylate, HOWEVER, the bio-availability of flower benefits go UP when you decarb your flower. 👉🧬The decarbed flower bioavailability provides a much better experience for the diner as well as maximizes the medicinal benefits of the flower itself.
🤖 Measuring Flower 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
🌿🌳Our calculators help you determine the approximate milligrams of potency per one (1) Gram of Flower Weight.🌳🌿 📌NOTE: A scale is extremely helpful to weigh your flower plant matter. Kitchen scales and jewelry scales (for micro-dose measurements) are recommended for this PFC. 👉💡Determining your starting milligrams calculation works for both CBD and THC Dominant Flower.
🤖 Flower Weight Guide 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
⚖ 1/8 ounce of Flower = 3.5 grams in weight ⚖ 1/4 ounce of Flower = 7 grams in weight ⚖ 1/2 ounce of Flower = 14 grams in weight ⚖ 1 whole ounce of Flower = 28 grams in weight
🤖 Play Tips 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
🤹PLAY with different flower weights in this calculator until you find the dose you want. 👉💡 For example: If you want to use your herb garnish for 5 servings at 10 mg per serving then your batch of ground flower buds needs to equal at least 50 mg of CBD or THC total, depending on flower dominancy. 👉💡FORMULA: 50 / 5 = 10
🤖 Measurement Conversions 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
🔀 5 milliliters (ml) = 1 teaspoon (tsp) 🔀 15 ml = 3 tsp = 1 TBS = 1/2 oz = 1/16 cup 🔀 30 ml = 6 tsp = 2 TBS = 1 oz = 1/8 cup 🔀 60 ml = 12 tsp = 4 TBS = 2 oz = 1/4 cup 🔀 90 ml = 18 tsp = 6 TBS = 3 oz = 3/8 cup 🔀 120 ml = 24 tsp = 8 TBS = 4 oz = 1/2 cup 🔀 175 ml = 36 tsp = 12 TBS = 6 oz = 3/4 cup 🔀 240 ml = 48 tsp = 16 TBS = 8 oz = 1 cup 🔀 480 ml = 96 tsp = 32 TBS = 16 oz = 2 cups = 1 pint 🔀 960 ml = 192 tsp = 64 TBS = 32 oz = 4 cups = 2 pints = 1 quart 🔀 3,840 ml = 768 tsp = 256 TBS = 128 oz = 16 cups = 8 pints = 4 quarts = 3.84 Liters = 1 gallon
🤖 Plan Ahead 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
If you are going to use a Primary or Secondary Staple Ingredient infusion to infuse another treat or meal, plan ahead and make sure your Primary or Secondary Staple Ingredients are potent enough to withstand levels of dilution for your next infusion creation. Your portion potencies will become diluted in larger batch incorporations. Examples of planning ahead include: 👉💡 adding infused sugar to a batch of cookies 👉💡 incorporating maltodextrin powder into a cake mix 👉💡adding infused honey to sweet & sour sauce 👉💡making deviled eggs with mayonaise
🤖 A Note on Labels 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
📌 DO NOT FORGET! Make SURE to label your final infusion! The more experienced you become with infusions, the more you will rely on your labels for meals and treats!
📌An example of a final label to stick to your zip lock bag or Tupperware container when using CBD or THC Dominant Flower will look like this: 366.52 mg CBD or THC for entire batch 22.91 mg CBD or THC per Tablespoon portion.
