The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued an emergency Schedule 1 classification for 7OH Kratom products, citing its potency, safety concerns, and risk for abuse.
Unlike natural Kratom leaves or powder, 7OH is a manipulated alkaloid extracted and concentrated far beyond its natural form. This scheduling is a clear signal from regulators: synthetic or ultra-potent Kratom derivatives have no place in a safe, responsible marketplace.
Why We Support This Decision
At Left Coast Kratom, we have always opposed synthetic or manipulated forms of Kratom like 7OH. This ban helps reinforce the distinction between authentic, plant-based Kratom and dangerous lab-made alternatives, safeguarding consumers and advancing industry credibility.
Natural Kratom vs. Synthetic 7O
Natural Kratom products, derived directly from the leaf, have been used traditionally for centuries and represent the foundation of our industry. 7OH, however, is neither traditional nor safe. Its potency exceeds what nature intended, and this kind of manipulation risks drawing negative attention to legitimate Kratom use.
