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 many 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 is, how Canadian rules handle it, what has changed in the United States, and why we stay away from it.
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 more concentrated than anything the plant makes on its own.
The leaf
Dried and milled kratom leaf, with 7OH present only in trace amounts.
Isolated or converted
One chemical is extracted, or mitragynine is chemically converted in a lab.
The 7OH product
Tablets, shots or gummies built around that one concentrated chemical.
So plain leaf and a 7OH tablet are different products, even though both trace back to the same tree. That difference is the reason regulators handle them differently.
7OH compared with plain kratom leaf
Side by side, the two are different products with different questions around them.
The plant’s full range of natural chemicals, in the amounts the plant made them.
One of those chemicals, isolated or lab-made.
Not concentrated.
Concentrated by design.
Dried and milled.
Chemical processing.
A batch can be tested against established methods.
Those methods are still being settled.
The DEA’s proposed threshold for plant material is 0.05% 7-OH by dry weight.
Concentrated and processed products are the target of the proposed control.
Not controlled. Not approved for consumption.
Not controlled. Not approved for consumption.
Where Canadian law stands on 7OH
Canada is not the United States, and the position here is different.
Health Canada’s Controlled Substances Directorate offers a status determination process that confirms whether a substance not listed by name in the CDSA schedules is controlled. That is the authoritative source, not us and not any other seller.
What has changed in the US, in order
The United States and Florida have moved on concentrated and lab-made material. Here is what happened and when.
Florida
Florida’s Attorney General issued an emergency rule making isolated and concentrated 7-OH a Schedule I substance in the state.
Florida
A further Florida emergency rule extended limits to compounds related to 7-OH.
United States
The DEA published a notice of intent to temporarily place 7-OH above a specified threshold in Schedule I. The proposed threshold for plant material is 0.05% 7-OH by dry weight, and 0.05% or 1 milligram per article for processed products.
United States
The DEA temporarily placed three related lab-made compounds in Schedule I: mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16. The order runs until August 26, 2028 unless extended.
Status when reviewed
The temporary order for 7-OH itself had not been published. The public comment period on its proposed threshold ran to September 10, 2026.
The US proposal is aimed at concentrated and processed 7-OH products. Plant material at or below the proposed 0.05% threshold falls outside it. Canada has taken neither step, and Canadian rules have sometimes followed decisions made elsewhere, so it is worth watching Health Canada’s own updates.
Why we don't sell 7OH
We sell plain milled kratom leaf and nothing else. That is a deliberate choice, and it will stay that way unless the rules become settled and independent batch testing reaches the standard we already apply to leaf.
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.
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.
Same-day delivery across the GTA and the towns around it, and tracked shipping to every postal code in Canada.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about what we sell? Text (647) 330-9497 or email us. A person answers, with a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
Is 7OH legal in Canada?
It is not a controlled substance here. Neither 7-hydroxymitragynine nor mitragynine is listed in the schedules to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Health Canada has not approved it as a food, natural health product or medicine, so it cannot lawfully be sold for consumption.
Has the United States banned 7OH?
Not in full. In July 2026 the DEA published a notice of intent to temporarily place 7-OH above a threshold in Schedule I. When this page was last reviewed on September 15, 2026, that order had not been published. In August 2026 the DEA did temporarily schedule three related lab-made compounds: mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16.
Does the US proposal cover plain kratom leaf?
The DEA’s proposed threshold for plant material is 0.05% 7-OH by dry weight. Plant material at or below that level falls outside it. The proposal is aimed at concentrated and processed products.
What has Florida done?
In August 2025 Florida’s Attorney General made isolated and concentrated 7-OH a Schedule I substance in the state by emergency rule, and a further emergency rule in June 2026 extended limits to related compounds.
Has Canada done the same?
No. Canada has not scheduled 7OH or mitragynine. Canadian rules have sometimes followed decisions made elsewhere, so it is worth watching.
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 Controlled Substances Directorate offers a status determination process that confirms whether a substance not listed by name in the CDSA schedules is controlled. 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.
