Kratom and 7-OH products are widely available. They’re also at the heart of a public health debate. : Short Wave
Kratom and 7-OH products are available in many smoke shops. But earlier this year, the FDA recommended certain 7-OH products be scheduled alongside opioids.

Meaning products would go from being widely available to highly restricted. After a massive wave of protest, the DEA decided not to move forward.
