Federal Notice — Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0232

FEDERAL BAN

COMING SOON

On July 6, 2026, HHS opened a 30-day public comment period on a DEA proposal to place 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) into Schedule I. It’s a proposal — not a final decision — and the window to act is now.

  

Timeline

What’s actually on the table

Jul 6
HHS publishes the RFI

The DEA’s Notice of Intent proposes moving 7-OH into Schedule I. This opens a public comment window — it isn’t an immediate ban.

Now
Proposed threshold: ~1mg/serving

At roughly 0.050% 7-OH, the proposed cap would place the large majority of current products — including ours — into Schedule I.

Jul 21
Comment period closes

After this date, the window to influence the outcome narrows. A 2016 comment effort (100,000+ submissions) led the DEA to withdraw a similar proposal.

Why it matters

What this means for consumers

01
Reported real-world use

Many consumers describe using 7-OH and kratom for pain management, wellness routines, and as an alternative to substances with higher risk profiles.

02
A threshold this low functions as a ban

At ~1mg per serving, most products on today’s market — regulated and lab-tested — would no longer be legally available.

03
Regulation vs. prohibition

Advocates are asking for thresholds that reflect real consumer use, arguing prohibition pushes markets underground rather than ending demand.
