Dear Amazing Advocates,

We have important news. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has announced its intent to temporarily schedule high-potency 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and its follow-on products under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

This is a significant development, and it confirms what the American Kratom Association has warned policymakers for years: chemically manipulated 7-OH opioid products are not natural kratom leaf. They are high-potency opioid products that have been falsely marketed as "kratom" while exposing consumers to serious risks.

What you need to know:

- The DEA notice targets 7-OH above a specified threshold, along with related forms and follow-on products such as MP, MGM-15, and MGM-16. These do not occur naturally in the kratom plant.

- Natural kratom leaf is not the target. Products containing only the trace levels of 7-OH found in natural leaf are not what this action is designed to capture.

- HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. commended the action, calling 7-OH, MP, MGM-15, and MGM-16 dangerous opioids that fuel addiction, and confirming that HHS reviewed the science and recommended the scheduling.

Our message to policymakers remains simple: Do not ban kratom because of 7-OH. Ban 7-OH because it is not kratom. Natural kratom leaf should be responsibly regulated; chemically manipulated 7-OH opioids should be banned.

Thank you for standing with us to protect access to safe, natural kratom.

DEA Scheduling Action Confirms Chemically Manipulated 7-OH Opioids Are Not Kratom

American Kratom Association calls on state officials to stop protecting 7-OH profiteers and act immediately to remove dangerous products from the marketplace

Sensationalized Headlines Misrepresent CDC Kratom Report, Risk Driving Bad Public Policy Washington, D.C.
“The CDC report is being widely mischaracterized in sensational headlines that suggest a growing danger from kratom,” Haddow said. “But a careful reading of the actual data shows something very different: an increase in reports that closely tracks the growing number of kratom consumers in the United States—not a new safety signal tied to natural kratom leaf products.”

Consumers rely on transparency in advertising & labeling.

Yet our gas stations are flooded with dangerous products like Chinese vapes & fake kratom, & it’s all designed to appeal to children.

We’re taking action to protect Georgians.

The movement to protect kratom consumers from dangerously adulterated kratom products saw Colorado and Missouri become the 7th and 8th states to pass the Kratom Consumer Protection Act this past week.

Kratom consumers deeply appreciate state legislators who follow the science.

Yasssss!!!!!! This is HUGE!!!!!! Ohio is one of our leading states outside of California & New York. This is going to change the political arena in other states I believe..

[Mac Haddow @HaddowMac]

Dr. McCurdy and Dr. Grundmann of the Univ. of Florida make the powerful case for why we need a rational regulatory scheme that is a part of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act to protect consumers so the products they buy are standardized, high-quality, and pure plan material.
