7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is banned in Vermont. State rules list 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine as regulated drugs, which makes them generally illegal to possess, sell, or manufacture outside a licensed medical context. Federally, the FDA recommended in 2025 that the DEA schedule concentrated 7-OH, but 7-OH remains federally unscheduled as of 2026.
