Legality map of the drug 7

7 is illegal on a federal and state level, as it is an unapproved new drug. Penalties can be up to 20 years in prison and $1,000,000 per violation.

The last 20 months have seen the rise of a novel synthetic drug being misbranded and sold illegally as kratom. This unapproved drug, known as ‘7,’ represents a significant departure from natural kratom products due to its chemical modifications and synthetic byproducts.
