Florida Officials Warn 7-OH Products Pose Opioid Risks at Gas Stations and Vape Shops

Summary
Florida leaders and health officials warned that 7-OH products sold across the state are potent opioid derivatives often mislabeled as kratom, not FDA-approved supplements.
The FDA describes 7-OH—formally 7-Hydroxymitragynine—as “a potent opioid by design,” noting it occurs only in very small amounts naturally in the kratom plant but is sold in concentrated form.
Gas stations, vape shops and convenience stores commonly stock the products as gummies, drink mixes, shots and tablets, often in bright packaging and sweet flavors that can mask serious health risks.
Anyone suffering adverse effects should seek medical help immediately; suspected poisoning or overdose cases should be reported to Florida Poison Control at 800-222-1222 or to 911.
