7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is banned in Louisiana. As of August 2025, 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine are Schedule I controlled substances, and a separate law makes it a crime to produce, distribute, or possess kratom. Federally, the FDA recommended in 2025 that the DEA schedule concentrated 7-OH, but 7-OH remains federally unscheduled as of 2026.
