Is 9-OH (9-hydroxycorynantheidine) Legal in Oklahoma? (2026)

Gray area

As of November 12, 2026, 9-OH (9-hydroxycorynantheidine) is in a legal gray area (sold in practice, exposed to an interpretive ban theory) in Oklahoma. Kratom act bars synthesized kratom alkaloids (63 O.S. 1-1432.4(A)(4)), but its kratom product definition excludes them; reach is definitional. Controlling source: 63 O.S. 1-1432.4 Oklahoma Kratom Consumer Protection Act: prohibited kratom products, labeling, sale to minors, test results.

What the record says

9-OH is not named in the Oklahoma schedules: 63 O.S. 2-204, as amended by HB 3767 and SB 1257 effective 2026-11-01, lists no kratom alkaloid, no kratom plant entry and no mitragynine-related class, and its opiate chapeau reaches only isomers, esters, ethers and salts of listed opiates. Oklahoma has no general analog or designer-drug offense in 63 O.S. 2-101. Under 2-101(11) a controlled dangerous substance includes any substance listed temporarily or permanently as federally controlled, but 9-OH is not federally listed, so that route does not capture it today. The Oklahoma Kratom Consumer Protection Act bars a vendor from preparing, distributing or selling a kratom product containing any synthesized alkaloid, including synthesized mitragynine, synthesized 7-hydroxymitragynine or any other synthesized compounds of the kratom plant (1-1432.4(A)(4)), and a kratom product that does not meet the statutory definition ((A)(1)). The definition in 1-1432.2(5) covers a food or dietary supplement that consists of or contains kratom leaf or kratom leaf extract and does not contain any synthesized kratom alkaloids, and it defines synthesized as produced by directed synthetic or biosynthetic chemistry rather than heating or extracting. A semi-synthetic 9-OH tablet or liquid made by O-demethylating mitragynine contains a synthesized kratom alkaloid in that sense. Whether it is a barred kratom product or a product outside the act altogether turns on reading a definition that itself excludes synthesized alkaloids, so the reach is definitional rather than express. If it is a kratom product, the act also requires labeling of total alkaloids, mitragynine and 7-OH, bars sale to anyone under 18, caps 7-OH at 1 percent of the alkaloid composition and requires independent test results on request; violations carry administrative penalties and, after a third offense, a three-year sales bar. Trace 7-OH: the 1 percent cap applies only to kratom products; a future federal 7-OH listing would carry into state law through 2-101(11) within its threshold. 9-OH is not federally scheduled; federal Analogue Act and FDA exposure are interpretive.

Controlling language, verbatim

A. A vendor shall not prepare, distribute, sell, or expose for sale any of the following: ... 4. A kratom product containing any synthesized alkaloid including synthesized mitragynine, synthesized 7-hydroxymitragynine or any other synthesized compounds of the kratom plant; ... 5. "Kratom product" means a food or dietary supplement that consists of or contains kratom leaf or kratom leaf extract that does not contain any synthesized kratom alkaloids, other synthesized kratom constituents, or synthesized metabolites of any kratom constituent in which the level of 7-hydroxymitragynine, on a percent weight basis, is not greater than one percent (1%) of the amount of total kratom alkaloids, as confirmed with a high-performance liquid chromatography testing method. For purposes of this paragraph, "synthesized" refers to substances produced using directed synthetic or biosynthetic chemistry, as opposed to traditional food preparation techniques such as heating or extracting;
