- Amphetamins and methamphetamine.
- Barbiturates.
- Benzodiazepines.
- Cannabinoids.
- Cocaine.
- Methadone.
- Methaqualone.
- Opiates (such as Codeine, Morphine, Heroin, Oxycodone and Vicodin).
- Phencyclidine (PCP).
- Propoxyphene.
- Milk thistle has been used to treat a number of liver diseases and gallbladder disorders. It is regarded as a "liver tonic" because of the benefits it can provide, although scientific research into this field is not substantial.
- It has few detoxifying properties and will not purge your body of the hallmarks of drug use.
- For example, THC, the active ingredient in Cannabis, is stored in the fat cells of the body. Milk thistle will not do anything to clear this from your system.
- Milk thistle will certainly not help you pass a hair follicle or saliva test, as these are much more accurate than urine tests.
