  On or after Nov 13, 2026: kratom products whose mitragynine is less than 100 times their 7-OH (or 7-OH plus pseudoindoxyl), or above 1 mg/g or 1 mg/mL of those, would be Schedule I. Plain leaf and typical extracts sit above 100:1; enhanced 7-OH kratom does not. Kratom leaf and mitragynine are not scheduled.
