Is 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) legal in Finland?

Legal status

Controlled in Finland. Named consumer-market psychoactive, subject to Act §5(2), the market-conduct offence in Criminal Code chapter 44 §5a and statutory exceptions. The instrument and provision are 1130/2014 §1 and Annex, as amended by 650/2026; 373/2008 §5(2); Criminal Code chapter 44 §5a, and the list entry reads, in the Finnish of the instrument itself: “7-Hydroksimitragyniini (7-OH)”

Consequences if caught

Narcotics offences are prosecuted under the Criminal Code (39/1889) chapter 50, with the substantive prohibitions in the Narcotics Act 373/2008 section 5 and the lawful exceptions in section 3. The consumer market conduct offence for psychoactive substances banned from the consumer market sits in Criminal Code chapter 44 section 5a. No custodial term figures are asserted in this cell: the research behind it recorded the provisions and the listing, and did not record the sentencing ranges, so quoting one here would be an invention rather than a reading.

If prescribed or medical

Where a substance is a medicinal ingredient rather than a listed narcotic, it is handled through the Medicines Act 395/1987, in particular the conduct and import rules in section 3 and the medicinal substances list, and its status turns on individual product classification.

Documentation

Carry any prescribed medicine in its dispensed packaging with the prescription. Finland's personal import rules for medicines sit in the Medicines Act 395/1987 and were not read for this cell, so no traveller allowance is stated here.

Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Finland’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
