Tampa, FL — The Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART) today responded to the announcement
by Florida officials that 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a kratom-derived compound, is being emergency
scheduled. While the action is framed as a public health measure, the facts tell a different story.
“This decision ignores the science,” said Jeff Smith, National Policy Director for HART. “According to
the FDA’s database, there are zero confirmed deaths linked to 7-OH alone, and just eight adverse events
ever reported, even with over half a billion adult uses. If 7-OH were truly the threat being claimed, the
data would show it. It doesn’t.”
