7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is restricted in Rhode Island. Under the Rhode Island Kratom Act, effective April 2026, a kratom product may not exceed half a milligram of 7-hydroxymitragynine per gram, one milligram per serving, or one percent of total alkaloids, and synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine is barred. Rhode Island had earlier listed 7-hydroxymitragynine as a Schedule I controlled substance, and how the two regimes interact is unsettled, so readers should confirm current Rhode Island law with official sources before relying on this summary. Federally, the FDA recommended in 2025 that the DEA schedule concentrated 7-OH, but 7-OH remains federally unscheduled as of 2026.
