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

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) specifically is scheduled in Suriname, 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 named on either list, and neither is mitragynine, and neither is the tree that produces them. The text read for this cell is the consolidation that stops at S.B. 2002 no. 68, so it is twenty four years old. Article 3 lid 2 lets further middelen be designated by Staatsbesluit and article 3 lid 3 lets the Minister designate one at short notice with the approval of the Procureur-Generaal, and article 4 lid 2 does the same for lijst II. No register of those designations was located, so anything added since 2002 is outside what was read and this does not rule out a later designation.

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

What Suriname HAS confirmed for related substances

These are related compounds, not 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). Their status may or may not reflect 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)’s. Confirm 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) directly with Suriname's national drug authority or your embassy.

  • Kratoma related compound, not 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)

    Illegal. Lijst III, which S.B. 2018 no. 64 annexed to the act, prints in Tabel III the entry 'Plant-based Substances (Kratom, Salvia divinorum, Khat)', so kratom is named by its common name in a list the act penalises. The text read is the act as amended to S.B. 2023 no. 137: the 1998 act with its 2002 amendments, then S.B. 2018 no. 64, published on 16 July 2018 and in force the next day under its Artikel II, then S.B. 2018 no. 65, published on 18 September 2018 and in force the next day, then the Wet Industriële Hennepteelt, S.B. 2023 no. 137, published on 14 September 2023 and in force the next day, whose title recites the act as last amended by S.B. 2018 no. 65. Article 3 lid 2, article 4 lid 2 and article 8a lid 2 still let further substances be designated by Staatsbesluit. The subsidiary instruments located, the three Staatsbesluiten of 20 January 1999 published as S.B. 1999 nos. 20, 21 and 22 on prescriptions, exemptions and import permits and the commencement resolution S.B. 1999 no. 23, designate no substance, and no other designation was located, so this does not rule out a later designation.
