In a major move, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has officially announced an emergency scheduling action that places 7-hydroxymitragynine (7OH) products into Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act. This means that the production, sale, and possession of 7OH products are now prohibited nationwide.
Unlike natural Kratom, 7OH is an isolated, highly concentrated alkaloid derived synthetically or manipulated from Kratom to be many times more potent than traditional leaf or powdered Kratom. Its intense effects and potential for misuse raised red flags among regulators.

The Louisiana Kratom ban is officially set to begin on August 1, 2025. This means residents have just a few days left to make any last purchases before Kratom becomes illegal in the state.
If you live in Louisiana and use Kratom, now is the time to plan ahead. This change is frustrating not only for responsible consumers in Louisiana but for the entire Kratom community nationwide. It underscores the importance of staying engaged in advocacy efforts to protect access to safe, regulated Kratom.
At Kraken Kratom, we are continuing to work alongside advocacy organizations and consumer groups to push back against misinformation and fight for fair Kratom legislation. We believe in regulations that protect consumers—not outright bans that remove access entirely.

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the Kratom community, Louisiana lawmakers have passed a bill to ban Kratom—just one signature from Governor Jeff Landry away from becoming law. The bill, spearheaded by Senator Jay Morris and carried in the House by Rep. Debbie Villio, paints a grim picture for Kratom access in the Bayou State.
The Louisiana House voted overwhelmingly in favor of the ban, 86–6, following a 26–11 vote in the Senate earlier this month. Unless Governor Landry vetoes or amends the bill, Kratom will soon be illegal throughout the state.
