7-OH legal status by state
7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is the concentrated kratom alkaloid the FDA recommended the DEA schedule in 2025; it remains federally unscheduled as of 2026. StatuteMap tracks 7-OH as a substance distinct from whole-leaf kratom, so its status is never inherited from kratom law.

5Common questions
Is 7-OH the same as kratom?
No. 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is one alkaloid found in the kratom plant. StatuteMap tracks it as a distinct substance, so its status is never inherited from kratom law — a state can treat concentrated or isolated 7-OH differently from whole-leaf kratom.
Is 7-OH federally scheduled?
As of 2026, 7-OH is not federally scheduled. In 2025 the FDA recommended that the DEA schedule concentrated 7-OH; each state page shows the date its sources were last checked.
What do banned, restricted, and regulated mean for 7-OH here?
Banned means a state treats 7-OH as a scheduled or criminal controlled substance. Restricted means a consumer-protection cap effectively prohibits concentrated or synthetic 7-OH while permitting trace amounts in kratom leaf. Regulated means 7-OH is named in labeling or age rules with no concentration cap.
Why are some states not listed?
This is a partial directory. Only states with a law that explicitly addresses 7-OH are listed. A state that is not listed has not been curated for 7-OH — that does not mean 7-OH is unregulated there. Confirm current law with official state sources before acting.
