What the record says

9-OH is not named in Oregon law. The Board of Pharmacy schedules (OAR 855-080-0020 and 0021) contain no kratom, mitragynine or corynantheidine entry, and Oregon has no whole-plant kratom ban. ORS 475.005(6) defines a controlled substance by reference to the federal schedules as modified under ORS 475.035; 9-OH is not federally listed, so that route does not capture it. Oregon’s only controlled substance analog definition (ORS 475.908) applies to causing another person to ingest a substance without consent, not to sale. The Oregon Kratom Consumer Protection Act (ORS 475.392 to 475.404) defines a kratom product as a food, food product, food ingredient, dietary ingredient, dietary supplement or beverage for human consumption containing any part of the leaf of Mitragyna speciosa. It requires processors that sell kratom products at wholesale to register annually with the Department of Revenue and certify third-party contaminant testing (ORS 475.396, 475.404; OAR 150-475-6010 and 6020), and bars retail sale to anyone under 21 (ORS 475.398, Class C misdemeanor). The act has no ban on synthetic or semi-synthetic alkaloids, no 7-OH cap, no extract definition and no form rule. Whether a semi-synthetic 9-OH tablet or liquid made from mitragynine is a product containing any part of the leaf is a definitional question: if it is, the age, registration and testing conditions apply; if it is not, the act does not reach it and no other state law does. The row is recorded as kratom-act regulated with confidence under review for that reason. Trace 7-OH: no state cap or listing; a federal 7-OH listing would raise the separate question, recorded for MGM-15, of whether ORS 475.005(6) operates without a board rule. No 2025 or 2026 kratom measure was found. 9-OH is not federally scheduled; federal Analogue Act and FDA exposure are interpretive.
