While ghost pipe has been used as traditional medicine, and some people still use it as traditional medicine, it could also be toxic.
And it has glycosides too! So it may also be toxic to humans.

Someone that sent to traditional medicine gave me some. I think I will avoid it in the future.
And I edited my comments above to reflect that this morning
