What is 9-OH?
Minor kratom leaf alkaloid (9-hydroxycorynantheidine, also 9-O-demethylmitragynine; some sources number it 8-OH) sold as tablets and liquids, often made semi-synthetically by O-demethylating mitragynine. Not federally scheduled and not named in any DEA kratom-alkaloid order or notice. Florida listed it in Schedule I from 2026-07-01 to 2026-08-17 by emergency rule and then dropped it. State posture turns on whether a state names it, lists a class of mitragynine-related or kratom-derived alkaloids, bans synthetic or synthetically derived kratom alkaloids, or regulates it as a kratom product with age, labeling and registration conditions.
