Emerging Threat and Regulatory Scheduling of 7-OH - Informational Briefing

Course Hours: 0.0 Hours

Course Description

As synthetic and semi-synthetic substances evolve, public safety personnel face new operational and clinical challenges. This course provides an operational briefing on 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) - a potent opioid-like alkaloid naturally found in trace amounts in the kratom plant, but now manufactured in concentrated form and heavily marketed in convenience stores, smoke shops, and online platforms as a "wellness" product.

Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of 7-OH?s pharmacological potency, risk for rapid dependence and synergistic overdose toxicity, retail packaging methods, and the shifting regulatory landscape - including the federal Notice of Intent to place 7-OH into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, alongside existing state regulations (such as Georgia?s Kratom Consumer Protection Act).

Who Should Attend

Law Enforcement Officers, Investigators, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Public Health Officials, and Prosecution Staff will benefit from the information presented.
