Rob-L. .. .I think "legitimate users become addicted to it" is an over-statement. It should be "legitimate users CAN become addicted to it". At the end of the day, people can get addicted to all sorts, from cigarettes to cough medicine, but not all of us do! Also, I thought the durg users tended to inject themselves with Temazepam, not ingesting it like the legitimate users do? (I do not think it was ever designed to be injected, but the gel form makes it easier to do so than the tablt form???). .. .Dockjock,. .. .Unfortunately Valerian is the worst herbal preparation I've ever tried for any purpose. Not only did it fail to help me sleep, it left me so groggy and grumpy the next day that I might as well have gone without any sleep. The preparation with Passiflora was much better, with it being reasonably effective and not having any adverse effect the next day.
