7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) in Kuwait: not individually verified

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) specifically is scheduled in Kuwait, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record
Not confirmed. 7 hydroxymitragynine is not separately named. Serial N5-7 of Group 1, table 5 names the kratom plant and mitragynine, and the metabolite 7 hydroxymitragynine is not listed in its own right. The placement could not be settled from the schedules read for this cell.

Confirm directly with Kuwait’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
