Hi there, I just read your post about Prickly Lettuce, & I have a question. We've got quite a bit of Prickly Lettuce growing on our back lot, behind our house. I've never tried it for pain, but I wanted to see if I could harvest it now, since it's all dried out from the winter months? Everything I've read so far has said to harvest it while it's still green, so I was wondering if it's still got the same pain relieving qualities after it's dried out?? I can't seem to find anything on anyone using it once it's died off from the winter. Do you have any idea? I have several chronic pain issues (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sciatica, Fibro, Herniated discs....), & have been taking opiates for a few years now, but I wanted to look into using Prickly Lettuce, since it's a more natural pain reliever. Any info you could share would be so helpful, and much appreciated! Thanks!
