To promote the Midnight Drops, the 1906 website said the pills were infused with corydalis, an herbal extract, which, it said, “has been used for millennia.” It claimed the extract had sedative qualities and would help people stay asleep because it targeted body pain and tension.
A relative of the poppy, corydalis also contains a compound that researchers have linked to severe and potentially fatal liver injury.
I had to scroll down like 20 paragraphs to find what the ‘other herbal remedies’ they were talking about were.
They’d have to be taking Corydalis for a long time and in really high doses to get this kind of liver damage.
Thanks
wait till propublica hears about alcohol!
Doctors aren’t prescibing alcohol to assist sleep, at least not anymore
I doubt Marijuana caused the damage. More than likely other shit in the pill.
‘Unaware of the enforcement division’s notification, she didn’t worry when she started having full-body cramps and became lactose intolerant in September 2022, about six months after she started taking the drops. She thought she just needed to drink more water.’
This is the result of a society that teaches us not to take our body signals seriously.
Stupid headline
What is bull crap? for $500 please.
“Natural” remedies are not without risk.
Now, despite never having liver problems before, according to her medical records, she has liver damage at age 53; her doctor says she will ultimately need a transplant.
Private prisons have the lobby wheel churning
I always was sketched out by edibles with extra junk added in
I think if she smoked she’d be fine since it wouldn’t pass through the liver.
She probably thought pills were safer. 😕
It sounds like marijuana wasn’t even the issue, they added some other compound known to damage liver

Following reports about liver problems, the company reformulated Midnight Drops and added a warning label stating the product should be taken in consultation with a physician. But the new herbal supplement was also primarily composed of a compound with the same chemical makeup as the one in corydalis that had been tied to liver risks, regulators eventually concluded.
The victim’s husband is correct, the government is making a ton of money off of special taxes, they should be ensuring the products are lab tested appropriately.
Oh, of course. Herbal supplement companies love doing that shit.
I know way too many people willing to take random herbals from the gas station:(
Gas stations, of all places. The same place that sells you the carbon that’s choking the planet, the lottery tickets that prey on the poor, and the hot dog that’s been rotating under a heat lamp for three days.
They can even put fucked up shit in the weed you smoke, I don’t know why people hate weed and people who enjoy drugs other than the legal three so much.
