The Timeline

Jul 6, 2026
The DEA publishes notices of intent to temporarily place 7-hydroxymitragynine above a specified threshold (0.05% / 1mg per article) in Schedule I, alongside a request for information. This starts the 30-day clock.
Aug 5, 2026
The earliest day the temporary order can publish. From this date forward, the order can appear in the Federal Register on any publication day, without further warning.
Aug 26, 2026
The DEA extends the 7-OH comment period to September 10, 2026. The same day, a separate temporary order places mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16 in Schedule I. That order covers those three compounds only — the 7-OH order itself remains unpublished.
Right now
The pre-scheduling window. The order has not yet published. Our monitor checks the Federal Register's public inspection desk every 60 seconds, around the clock.
Effective day
The order takes effect the day it publishes. Covered 7-OH products move to temporary Schedule I immediately — there is no grace period for sales.
+ 2 years
Temporary scheduling lasts two years, extendable by one additional year while permanent scheduling is considered.

What the Order Does

Temporary placement in Schedule I is the DEA's emergency scheduling tool. Once the order is effective, manufacturing and distributing covered 7-OH products is federally prohibited, and the compound is treated like any other Schedule I substance above the specified threshold.

Separately from federal action, a number of states already ban or cap 7-OH products, and some cities and counties have their own restrictions. Check any state to see whether we deliver there and why, or read the full list we enforce in our shipping policy. Nothing on this page is legal advice; for the authoritative text, read the Federal Register documents linked below.

Our store runs on this reality: an automated monitor checks the Federal Register every 60 seconds, and the moment a 7-OH scheduling order appears, it zeroes our inventory and closes sales — permanently, within minutes, no human in the loop. The status strip at the top of every page on this site is wired to that monitor.

Questions People Ask

Is 7-OH banned right now?

Not at the federal level — yet. The DEA has announced its intent and the order can publish any day, but as of the last check above it has not. Several states restrict or ban 7-OH independently of federal law.

When will 7-OH be banned?

No date is announced in advance. The temporary order can publish in the Federal Register on any publication day on or after August 5, 2026, and it takes effect immediately. That unpredictability is exactly why this tracker checks every 60 seconds instead of once a day.

Is 7-OH still legal to buy today?

Federally, covered products remain in the pre-scheduling window until the order publishes. State and local law varies widely — check yours, and expect reputable vendors to refuse shipment to restricted states.

What happens the day the order publishes?

Covered 7-OH products move to temporary Schedule I that same day. Our store closes itself automatically the moment the order appears — inventory zeroes, the buy buttons disappear, and the status strip on every page flips to “sales closed permanently.”

Will there be restocks after the ban?

No. The current jar is the last product we will ever sell. There is no post-ban inventory, no waitlist, and no restock.
