What the record says

Nevada does not name 9-hydroxycorynantheidine (9-OH, 9-O-demethylmitragynine), mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine or kratom in Schedule I (NAC 453.510, NAC chapter 453 revised 8-26-2026), and no class listing or whole-plant ban reaches kratom alkaloids. NRS 597.998 (A.B. 303, 2019) is the state kratom law. It bars knowingly selling a material containing a kratom product to a child under 18, bars preparing or selling a kratom product adulterated to a degree that renders it injurious, and requires a label setting out ingredients and directions for safe and effective use, with a civil penalty of up to 1,000 dollars per violation. It sets no registration, testing, form rule, 7-OH cap or synthetic-alkaloid ban. A kratom product is any product or ingredient containing leaf of Mitragyna speciosa that contains mitragynine or 7-OH, or a synthetic material that contains mitragynine or 7-OH. A semi-synthetic 9-OH tablet or liquid is not leaf, so the conditions reach it only if it contains residual mitragynine or 7-OH; whether a product free of both is covered is definitional, and confidence is under review on that point. NRS 453.043 and 453.219 treat a controlled substance analog intended for human consumption as Schedule I, but the definition requires structural similarity to a Schedule I or II substance, and Nevada schedules no kratom alkaloid, so analog reach is remote. NRS 453.2182 has the Board similarly treat federally scheduled substances; 9-OH is not federally scheduled. The Board took public comment in 2026 on scheduling mitragynine; no regulation was found. A mitragynine listing with isomer, ester, ether and salt words would not plainly reach 9-OH. The Legislature next meets in February 2027. 9-OH is not federally scheduled; federal Analogue Act and FDA exposure are interpretive.
