What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration proposed adding products containing elevated levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) to its list of Schedule I substances. This designation, reserved for drugs with high abuse potential, would make 7-OH products illegal. The DEA proposal was made after a comment period closed on September 10, and its finalization remains unclear.
