Magnolia Bark and Physical Addiction

So I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information on the safety of regular use of magnolia bark, especially around here. The two view points I've seen here I could summarize as:
1. Magnolia bark is an allosteric modulator of GABAA similar to benzodiazepenes and as with all GABAA modulators it's a question of when dependence will arise.
2. GABA system is complex and it isn't as simple as (1).
I find myself quite worried about what's true here, as I'm trying to determine whether NootropicsDepot's sleep support is actually safe to take daily. I also don't have enough skill in reading academic paper on the subject to parse exactly the method of action and how it might differ from benzos, for example.
Does anyone here with perhaps more of a trained caliber in parsing this kind of information have any ideas?

I literally took 400mg after posting that. Unfortunately, right now it's confounded with Adrafanil and your 10:1 Lemon Balm; but I've tried this combo before (sans this much Magnolia) and this feels a little "pushier", but in the best way. I'll try it a couple more times in isolation and report back.

That's basically what I get, too. It's not stimulating like a stimulant. It just creates this more pushy feeling, while also leveling out stress.
