What is 7-Hydroxymitragynine?
7-Hydroxymitragynine (7OH) is an extremely potent alkaloid found in kratom, a herbal supplement derived from the Mitragyna speciosa plant. While kratom is often marketed as a natural remedy, 7OH has powerful opioid-like effects and can lead to dangerous side effects, including addiction and overdose.
The potency of 7OH makes it a particular concern for public health, as its effects can be unpredictable, especially when combined with other substances or taken in high doses. Some experts speculate that 7OH is over 12x more potent than morphine.
Technically, 7OH is a natural part of the kratom plant, but the 7OH products sold online and in smoke shops are not the naturally occurring compound – they are synthetic derivates that are made in a laboratory.
In fact, many states, including Missouri, already regulate the amount of 7OH that can be sold in kratom products. These novel 7OH products are attempting to circumvent the existing laws by exploiting how various statutes are worded.
Types of Injuries Caused By 7OH
7OH can cause a range of injuries, from mild to severe, including:
- Respiratory depression
- Seizures
- Organ damage
- Cardiac complications
- Neurological effects
- Visual and Auditory Hallucinations
- Overdose
- Death
These injuries can lead to long-term health issues, significant medical expenses, and profound emotional and financial burdens for victims and their families.
Common Causes of 7OH Injuries
Given how 7OH is being manufactured, the 7OH products on the market today are inherently dangerous and pose a serious risk to consumers. Injuries related to 7OH may result from:
- Chemical exposure
- Overconsumption of kratom products
- Mislabeling or contamination of supplements
- Lack of warnings or improper dosage instructions
- Combining 7OH with other substances
In many cases, these injuries are preventable with proper labeling, quality control, and responsible manufacturing practices. When companies fail to uphold these standards, they may be liable for the harm caused.
Warning Signs of a 7OH Overdose
Warning Signs of 7OH Overdose Recognizing the signs of a 7OH overdose can be life-saving. Common symptoms include:
- Extreme drowsiness
- Shallow or difficult breathing
- Confusion or hallucinations
- Loss of consciousness
- Nausea and vomiting
If you suspect a 7OH overdose, seek emergency medical attention immediately. Early intervention can reduce the risk of severe injury or death.
The Legal Status of 7-Hydroxymitragynine
The legal status of 7OH varies by jurisdiction. While kratom is legal in many states, 7OH’s potent effects have led to increased scrutiny and regulation. It is important to consult with a knowledgeable attorney to understand your legal rights and options.
Our firm stays up-to-date with changing laws and regulations regarding 7OH and kratom products, ensuring that we provide accurate legal advice and effective representation.
Missouri's Kratom Comsumer Protection Act
Missouri’s Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) aims to regulate the production and sale of kratom products, including 7OH. The KCPA sets standards for labeling, manufacturing, and safety to reduce the risk of injury to consumers. However, compliance issues and violations remain a concern.
Our attorneys can help determine if KCPA violations played a role in your injury and pursue legal action against those responsible.
How is 7-Hydroxymitragynine Different From Kratom?
While 7OH is a component of kratom, it is significantly more potent. Unlike the broader range of effects from kratom, 7OH primarily acts as an opioid receptor agonist, increasing the risk of addiction, overdose, and severe health effects.
Understanding this difference is critical in legal cases, as it can impact liability and the strategies used to pursue compensation for injuries.
