On May 20, 2026 at 10:30 AM, the New York Senate Consumer Protection Committee is scheduled to consider New York Senate Bill S8925A, a bill that would prohibit the sale of 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) products in New York.
This is a critical moment for responsible consumers, small business owners, chronic pain sufferers, former opioid users, and advocates of reasonable regulation over prohibition.
Instead of an outright ban, New York should
pursue:
Strict age restrictions
Product testing & labeling requirements
Marketing restrictions
Retail controls
Consumer education
Enforcement against adulterated or unsafe products
Prohibition does not eliminate demand - it pushes people toward illicit markets and potentially more dangerous substances.
Many adults have used these products as an alternative to illicit opioids, alcohol, or prescription painkillers. Lawmakers need to hear from REAL people before voting.
