Is there a potential of misuse for Magnolia officinalis compounds/metabolites?

Objective: Magnolia bark contains magnolol, metabolized to tetrahydromagnolol and honokiol, with both GABA-ergic/cannabimimetic activities, hence of possible attraction to vulnerable individuals/recreational misusers.

Methods: A literature review, assessment of related anecdotal online Magnolia misuse's reports and an overview of Magnolia products' online acquisition possibilities has been here described.

Results: No peer-reviewed papers about Magnolia abuse/misuse/dependence/addiction were identified.
