Docket ID: [Insert Docket Number from Regulations.gov
once published on July 6]
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to urge the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to reject the proposed Schedule I designation for 7-hydroxymitragynine, known as 7-OH. As a citizen who watches the devastating impact of the overdose crisis on families and neighborhoods every day, I believe that an outright ban is a catastrophic mistake. Instead of repeating the failed, punitive strategies of the past, our government must protect people by implementing strict federal manufacturing regulations, age limits, and safety standards.
When we look at the history of public health in America, it is clear that heavy handed prohibition creates the exact tragedies it claims to prevent. Sociological research consistently demonstrates that abruptly criminalizing an accessible substance does not make demand disappear, it simply transfers that market entirely to illicit networks. This dangerous reality is known as the Iron Law of Prohibition. When law enforcement suppresses a lower potency or plant based market, it creates an immediate economic and logistical incentive for traffickers to manufacture and distribute much more compact, highly concentrated, and lethal synthetic alternatives to evade detection.
We have already seen the horrific human cost of this policy failure. When the federal government cracked down on prescription opioids in the mid 2010s without establishing safe, regulated alternatives, patients were abruptly cut off. Peer reviewed studies show that this supply side intervention forced vulnerable people onto the streets, causing a massive market substitution toward illicit heroin and lethal, adulterated fentanyl. Banning 7-OH will trigger this exact same pattern. It will strip away consumer transparency, eliminate third party laboratory testing, and force everyday people to turn to unregulated, toxic street supplies.As
a result you will see tens of thousands of people packing hospitals and the government will then have to provide them an alternative, ie suboxone, methadone etc, which are nearly impossible to get off of unlike 7oh or even mgm-15. This is clinically true as the half life of suboxone and methadone are notoriously long and much more potent as they also cause a much stronger physical dependence based on methadone and suboxone’s pharmacological profile.
Please do not allow our federal agencies to abandon their regulatory duties. We need real, compassionate guardrails like the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which enforces strict product labeling and bans sales to minors, rather than a criminal ban that will only expand the prison industrial complex.
On a deeply personal note, this ban will severely damage the lives of thousands of Americans. Myself, several of my family members, and countless others rely on 7-OH and botanical kratom derivatives to survive agonizing conditions, such as severe herniated discs, neuropathy, and chronic trauma. Because of the current climate of regulatory fear surrounding traditional prescription painkillers, hospitals now routinely discharge post surgical patients with nothing more than ibuprofen and Tylenol. This draconian practice leaves patients in an unimaginable state of suffering, sometimes to the point of severe psychological distress and suicidal ideation purely due to unmanaged physical agony. As a personal annecdoteI have experienced this inhumane practice first hand when I had a ORIF surgery on my hand which is a open reduction and internal fixation which if you don’t know they drill metal into your bones,they wouldnt give me anything except tylenol and ibuprofen even as I was writhing in pain like a sick dog for over 2 months, actually contemplating suicide as a viable way to end the physical pain of the metal sticking out of my hand through a literal open wound.
Adequate pain management must be recognized as a fundamental human right, not a conditional privilege. It is profoundly disheartening that in an era of unprecedented medical and technological advancement, we are actively regressing in our basic standard of care, abandoning patients to their suffering in a way that would not have been acceptable even a century ago. When doctors are terrified by the DEA to treat acute pain, accessible botanicals are the only lifeline patients have left.
I urge you to look at the scientific and historical data, listen to the agonizing human experiences of this community, and choose regulation over a prohibition that will undeniably cost human lives. Do not take away the one safe, legal avenue we have left for bodily autonomy and relief.
Sincerely,
A constituent whose quality of life depends entirely on safe, legal access from 3rd party LAB tested sources.
PEER REVIEWED SOURCES and SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF WHAT EACH OF THEM COVER IF YOU READ THEM.
On Policy Failures and Forced Market Substitution:
Green, T. C., et al. (2022). "The effects of opioid policy changes on transitions from prescription opioids to heroin or fentanyl." Public Health Reports. This study outlines how supply side crackdowns on prescription medications directly accelerated the transition to highly lethal street fentanyl, showing the unintended harms of rigid prohibition policies.
On the Iron Law of Prohibition and Fentanyl:
Ciccarone, D. (2017). "Today’s fentanyl crisis: Prohibition’s Iron Law, revisited." International Journal of Drug Policy. This paper uses the historical lessons of alcohol prohibition to explain how modern anti drug enforcement creates intense economic pressures that favor increasingly potent, compact, and deadly synthetic substitutes.
On the Economic Impact of Suppressing Substitutes:
Alpert, A., et al. (2021). "Supply Side Drug Policy in the Presence of Substitutes: Evidence from the Reformulation of OxyContin." Journal of Health Economics. This research proves that restricting access to a managed substance caused a direct, causal spike in illicit market overdose deaths due to users being forced to substitute with dangerous street alternatives. Since some dummy said this reads like a cooker rant here is how we stall their investigation through the courts. We can argue that the DEA is overstepping its statutory authority by classifying a naturally occurring alkaloid (7-OH) as a "synthetic" Schedule I drug simply because of its concentration**:BOTTOM LINE TRUTHFULLY ,** If the threshold is set specifically to protect products like Feel Free (Mullin's investment) while banning competitors, it lacks scientific basis. Proving the threshold was drawn based on market protection rather than safety data is a winning legal argument anyday of the week in a JUST COURT.Also,While not neccassarily a legal argument per se, public pressure regarding Secretary Mullin's $1M conflict of interest can force an Inspector General investigation or Congressional inquiry, which can stall the scheduling process.
