7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) in Timor-Leste: not individually verified

We have not confirmed that 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) specifically is scheduled in Timor-Leste, 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. A direct search of Anexo II to Lei n.º 2/2017, de 25 de Janeiro, for "mitragina", "mitraginina" and "mitragynine" returned no match anywhere in Tables I to VI, and 7-hydroxymitragynine, a minor alkaloid and metabolite of mitragynine found in the kratom plant, is not separately named either; on the schedule as printed it is not a "droga" under article 2(d) and not a "precursor" under article 2(e). This table-absence is not treated here as a settled negative answer, because Lei n.º 2/2017 does not close itself: article 3(3) allows the tables to be altered by law or updated in line with changes to the 1961 and 1971 Conventions, and whether that updating clause self-executes without a further legislative act is not resolved on the text read. No later amending law has been found (a targeted check of Decreto-Lei n.º 2/2025 and a grep of the 2017 text itself for "revoga" were made; no broader, systematic search of the Jornal da República 2017 to 2026 was completed), and 7-hydroxymitragynine has not been placed under the 1961 or 1971 Convention schedules as at this session's knowledge either, so even a self-executing article 3(3) would have nothing to incorporate for it.

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