7OH in Canada: What It Is and Where the Law Stands
7OH is the short name for 7-hydroxymitragynine. Searches for it in Canada have jumped in the past year, and most of the pages answering those searches are trying to sell it to you.
We do not sell 7OH. We sell plain kratom leaf and nothing else. This page explains what 7OH actually is, how Canadian rules treat it, how that differs from the United States, and why we decided to stay away from it.
Not a controlled substance. Neither 7OH nor mitragynine appears on any CDSA schedule.
Not approved as a food, natural health product or medicine — so it cannot lawfully be sold for consumption.
We do not sell it. We sell plain milled kratom leaf and nothing else.
What 7OH actually is
7OH is one of the natural chemicals found in kratom leaf. In plain leaf there is very little of it — usually well under a tenth of one percent.
The products sold as 7OH tablets, shots or gummies are not leaf. They are made by taking that one chemical and concentrating it, or by starting with a different kratom chemical called mitragynine and converting it in a lab. Either way the result is far stronger than anything the plant makes on its own.
So plain leaf and a 7OH tablet are different products, even though both trace back to the same tree. That difference is the whole reason regulators treat them differently.
Regulators are separating leaf from concentrates
This is the part most pages miss, and it matters.
In July 2026 the US Drug Enforcement Administration moved to temporarily control 7-hydroxymitragynine and several related lab-made compounds. What it did not do was control plain botanical kratom. The action deliberately separated the two. Florida did the same a month earlier.
In other words, the concern is concentrated and lab-made material, not the dried leaf. That is the line we have always stayed on the right side of.
Where Canadian law stands on 7OH
Canada is not the United States, and the position here is different.
Not a controlled substance
7OH is not a controlled substance in Canada. Neither 7-hydroxymitragynine nor mitragynine appears on any schedule of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Buying or owning it is not against the law here, and as things stand there is no public sign that Ottawa is looking at scheduling it.
But Health Canada has not approved it
Kratom and its natural chemicals are not approved as a food, a natural health product, or a medicine. No company in Canada holds that approval. So no seller here can lawfully sell 7OH — or plain kratom — as something to eat or drink, promise it will help with anything, or tell you how much to take.
One detail worth knowing
Health Canada has said that some headings in the CDSA schedules can also capture analogues, derivatives, isomers and salts of listed substances. If you want a definite answer about a specific material, Health Canada’s Office of Controlled Substances runs a formal status-confirmation process. That is the authoritative source — not us, and not any other seller.
Rules beyond the CDSA can apply too: the Food and Drugs Act, natural health product regulations, customs rules at the border, and provincial requirements. Quebec, for example, requires French labelling on anything sold to consumers there.
7OH compared with plain kratom leaf
What is in it
The plant’s full range of natural chemicals, in the amounts the plant made them.
One of those chemicals, isolated or lab-made.
How strong it is
Not concentrated.
Concentrated by design.
How it is made
Dried and milled.
Chemical processing.
How easy it is to check
A batch can be tested against established methods.
Those methods are still being settled.
How regulators treat it
The US action deliberately left plain botanical leaf alone.
The US moved to temporarily control it in July 2026.
Canada has moved on neither, but Health Canada has not approved either for consumption.
Looking for plain kratom leaf?
If you came here searching for 7OH but what you actually want is plain leaf, that is what we carry.
Red, green, white and yellow strains. All plain milled leaf, every batch tested by an outside lab for heavy metals, bacteria, mould and pesticides, sealed fresh.
Same-day delivery across the GTA and the towns around it, and tracked shipping to every postal code in Canada. Send us your postal code and we will confirm your delivery time.
If you do buy 7OH from someone else, ask for a lab certificate covering the exact batch you are buying, from an independent lab. A certificate proves what was tested. It does not decide whether something is legal, and no seller’s wording can.

Frequently asked questions
Is 7OH legal in Canada?
It is not a controlled substance here. Neither 7-hydroxymitragynine nor mitragynine appears on any schedule of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. But Health Canada has not approved it for eating or drinking, so it cannot lawfully be sold that way.
Is 7OH banned in Canada like it is in the US?
No. In July 2026 the US moved to temporarily control 7OH and several related lab-made compounds. Canada has not done the same. Canadian rules have sometimes followed decisions made elsewhere, so it is worth watching.
Did the US ban kratom too?
No. The US action deliberately separated concentrated and lab-made 7OH from plain botanical kratom. Leaf was left alone.
Do you sell 7OH, 7OHMZ or extracts?
No. We sell plain milled kratom leaf and nothing else.
What is the difference between 7OH and kratom?
Kratom is the dried leaf of a tree. 7OH is one chemical from that leaf, sold concentrated or lab-made. Related, but not the same product.
What is the difference between mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine?
Both are natural chemicals in kratom leaf. Mitragynine is the most common. 7-hydroxymitragynine occurs in trace amounts. We make no claims about what either does.
Where can I get a definite answer on legal status?
Health Canada’s Office of Controlled Substances runs a formal status-confirmation process. That is the authoritative source. No seller, including us, can decide it for you.
Will you stock 7OH later?
Only if the rules become settled and independent batch testing reaches the standard we already apply to leaf. Neither is true today.
What kratom do you sell instead?
Plain milled leaf in red, green, white and yellow. Every batch lab-tested. Same-day delivery across the GTA, shipping Canada-wide.
