Is 9-OH (9-hydroxycorynantheidine) Legal in Wyoming? (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 Wyoming. WY kratom act bars kratom products with semi-synthesized alkaloids but excludes them from kratom product; pure 9-OH reach definitional. Controlling source: W.S. 35-7-2201 and 35-7-2202 (kratom product regulation).

What the record says

Wyoming’s kratom product act (W.S. 35-7-2201 to -2203, 2026 SF0056, Enrolled Act 44, effective July 1, 2026) makes it a misdemeanor (up to one year and $1,000) to knowingly sell a kratom product that is 'adulterated', defined as the addition of a controlled substance, a synthesized alkaloid or a semi-synthesized alkaloid into a kratom product, and to manufacture, package, distribute or label a kratom product that contains synthesized or semi-synthesized alkaloids. A 'semi-synthesized alkaloid' is an alkaloid in kratom leaf extract exposed to chemicals or processes that confer a structural change, 'including but not limited to' oxidation, reduction and ring opening and closing; 9-OH made by O-demethylating extracted mitragynine fits that definition. But the act also provides that 'Kratom product' 'shall not include any synthesized alkaloid or semi-synthesized alkaloid'. A product that mixes the semi-synthetic 9-OH with natural kratom leaf, extract or alkaloids is an adulterated kratom product and barred; whether a tablet or liquid whose only active ingredient is semi-synthetic 9-OH is a 'kratom product' at all depends on reading that exclusion, so reach is definitional and the row is restricted. For kratom products the act also sets age 21, a full label with warnings and mitragynine and 7-OH per-serving declarations, storage out of reach of minors, no confection, child-appealing, combustible or vaporized forms, and a 2% 7-hydroxymitragynine cap on the alkaloid fraction. Federal scheduling: 35-7-1011(d) has the Attorney General control a federally scheduled substance by emergency and then permanent rule, and 9-OH has no federal listing; the 2026 Schedule I emergency rule located (adopted August 13, 2026) does not list it. Checked and absent: named listing in 35-7-1014, mitragynine or 7-OH scheduling, a whole-plant ban, an analog route with a scheduled kratom parent. 9-OH is not federally scheduled; federal Analogue Act and FDA exposure are interpretive.
