What the record says

Minnesota does not schedule or otherwise restrict MGM-15 (dihydro-7-hydroxymitragynine) by state law. Minn. Stat. 152.02, subd. 12 gives the Board of Pharmacy discretion to temporarily control a federally designated substance by an order published in the State Register; the statute does not adopt federal scheduling automatically, and no board order covering the compound was located. Mechanisms checked: not named in 152.02 or Minn. R. 6800.4210; 7-OH and mitragynine are not scheduled; the only kratom provision, 152.027 subd. 7 (age 21 since 2026-08-01 under 2026 c. 63), applies to kratom or a substance that contains mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine and does not name derivatives; no synthetic-alkaloid ban or whole-plant ban; the 152.01 subd. 23 analog definition attaches only to Schedule I or II substances, and no kratom alkaloid is scheduled in Minnesota. This state row reports state law only; the compound is federally Schedule I. Federally, MGM-15 (dihydro-7-hydroxymitragynine) is in Schedule I under the DEA temporary scheduling order (Docket DEA-1644, FR Doc. 2026-17429), effective 2026-08-26 through 2028-08-26; that federal control applies regardless of this state row.

Controlling language, verbatim

(a) If any substance is designated, rescheduled, or deleted as a controlled substance under federal law, the Board of Pharmacy may similarly and temporarily control the substance under this chapter by issuing an order and causing it to be published in the State Register and filed with the secretary of state.
