7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is banned in Connecticut. A 2025 law directed the Department of Consumer Protection to designate 7-hydroxymitragynine as a controlled substance, and the implementing regulation placed it in Schedule I in 2026. Federally, the FDA recommended in 2025 that the DEA schedule concentrated 7-OH, but 7-OH remains federally unscheduled as of 2026.
