Is 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) legal in Indonesia?
- Legal status
- Neither 7-hydroxymitragynine nor kratom is scheduled as a narcotic in Indonesia: 7-OH, a kratom alkaloid, shares the plant's status as a legal, regulated trade commodity (Permendag 20/2024 and 21/2024); export rules set a minimum mitragynine concentration as a quality spec, not a control, and BPOM bars only use in medicines/supplements.
- Consequences if caught
- No narcotics penalty attaches to the alkaloid; kratom is a regulated legal commodity, not a scheduled drug.
- If prescribed or medical
- No BPOM-registered kratom or alkaloid medicine exists; use in medicines/supplements is barred, but the plant may be grown, processed and exported.
- Documentation
- No narcotics import controls apply; kratom is a lawful trade commodity subject to trade (not drug) regulation.
