More than a million Americans use 7-OH. These are some of the people behind that number — quoted verbatim from public petition comments and story archives, each linked to its source.
“For the first time in 20 years I feel like myself. Not numb, not high. I'm present for the first time in memory.”
“I felt present, balanced, and in control. I wasn't high. I wasn't numb. I was me again.”
“After 13 years on prescription opioids, 7-OH is how I finally stopped.”
“Before 7-OH I tried physical therapy, nerve blocks, injections, a spinal nerve stimulator. I can now manage my pain without the risk of overdose.”
“I started using 7oh about 2.5 years ago, & no longer have the desire to use fent or heroin. I see labs for everything I use & don't have to get my drug of choice from sketchy street dealers. My back & knee pain is managible enough I'm able to work roofing. For the first time in my life I feel like a normal functional member of society.”
“7 hydroxymitragynine is an alkaloid in kratom. Kratom is a tree in the coffee and tea family. It's like saying caffeine vs coffee. I've taken kratom and 7 hydroxymitragynine for 5 years. It saved my life. … You can regulate it and tax it but don't make it illegal.”
“I was addicted to pain medicine for years and alcohol and have been sober 3 years now using kratom extract in moderation this has changed my life.”
“I have used 7-OH products for years, I have severe back pain and it helps me every day. Instead of relying on prescription painkillers which are 100% addictive, I use these instead.”
