Bucks, Chester DAs Urge Emergency Kratom Ban

On the first day of school for many Pennsylvania students, Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan and Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe today sent formal letters to Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen, urging the Department of Health to immediately exercise its emergency powers to schedule 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and related kratom derivatives as controlled substances under state law. 

The urgent request comes as students return to school amidst a growing proliferation of potent kratom-derived synthetic products being sold over the counter at smoke shops, gas stations, and other local retailers. Products containing 7-OH, a concentrated alkaloid found naturally in trace amounts in the Southeast Asian plant kratom, produce opioid-like effects on the body comparable to morphine or heroin.
