I would not mess with Saint Johns wart. It will make you feel happy and cheery; but side effects are brutal. And if you participate in other drugs it might have harsh side effects.

And it's been banned in EU in 2011.

It's still available for sale from the biggest herbal supplement retailer in the UK [1]. That fact alone makes this claim seem unlikely.

A quick google search makes it sound more like all herbal medicines are now more strictly regulated but not banned.
