7-0H

Sale of the semi-synthetic substance that comes from the Kratom plant, was barred through an emergency rule from the state attorney general last year.

An administrative law judge has dismissed a challenge to an emergency rule banning the sale and manufacture of the concentrated byproduct of kratom.

The compound is available in such products as drinks, gummies and powders. It has skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years.

7-0H, or 7-Hydroxymitragynine, is a semi-synthetic compound extracted from Kratom leaves. Kratom historically comes from Southeast Asia.
