Kratom 7-OH Federally Schedule 1 as of 08-01-26

[Didgital]

If someone else posted a thread on this my bad. As of July 1st 2026, the DEA has announced their intent to place 7-OH-Mitragynine, Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and MGM-16 into emergency schedule 1 federally, across the board. This makes it illegal in all states and territories in the USA.
This puts it into the same category as heroin, cocaine, LSD, and other compounds deemed no medical value with high potential for abuse. I disagree that it has no medical value, but after being in the kratom industry, I would agree that it has a huge potential for abuse. I knew this was coming a long time ago, but threads like "Can I shoot 7-OH?" were a pretty clear warning that people were using it in a way thats not medicinal.

I guess stock up if it's your thing.

We are living through the anti-fun times era. Won't last forever but these things sometimes (usually) take decades to swing the other way. Bummer.

exactly
i just want a way to relax
why not instead of criminalizing drugs and arresting users give them support when it starts to become a problem

It's just not how humans work. Now is the era of punish, ostracize, shame etc. No fun allowed. Again, only upside. Won't last forever. These things are cyclical. We probably need a real calamity. World War, economic collapse etc to trigger the reset. Times are too stable in the West. They may not look stable. But compared to true catastrophe they are.

Fentanyl isnt medically used in the US ?

 

[spypilot]

im not exactly expecting to buy oxy otc at walgreens or anything (though it would be nice )
how about all the shit that grows from the ground, that would be reasonable
and if they dont i will happily turn over my us citizenship and move to amsterdam at 18

It is, I probably mispoke. I imagine Fentanyl is schedule 2 which i think 7-OH should be as well.
I was thinking and typing very fast

Wow, I didn't expect this to happen so quickly. One bad apple really does spoil the whole bunch...

I'm not a fan of the opioid high, but damn, the only "regulated" (and I'm using that term very loosely) painkiller that actually has meaningful analgesic value is going to be gone. My personal favorite use for it was for a splitting headache. Take a low dose and poof, it's gone.

Shame on our government for making SR-17018 Schedule I as well.

Yeah thats happening too, forgot to mention it. If I was conspiracy minded, I might think the government wants fentanyl to be on the street. I'm not conspiracy minded.

Doesn't this just mean that said psychoactives will move to the illicit market... yikes. Well no surprise I guess.

I'm not conspiracy minded.

?(!) This claim seems off-base tbf.

What even is this science drug??

What even is this science drug??

We extract mitragynine from kratom plant (mitragyna speciosa) which is a weak Mu opioid agonist, then we oxidize it and it becomes more potent than morphine. I'm told it's almost indistinguishable from morphine/heroin in effect but I've not tried either. It's HIGHLY addictive but in so many ways it's safer than traditional opiates as it doesn't affect the respiratory system the same way.

They are federally scheduling SR-17018 also, don't forget. A lot of people are going to die over this.
