🚨 Awareness Post: 7-OH Kratom (7-Hydroxymitragynine)
We’re seeing a growing number of issues connected to 7-OH Kratom, a highly concentrated and potent derivative often marketed as “natural” or “legal,” but behaving much closer to an opioid. And it’s available at most v**e shops. Especially in WV as it hasn’t been banned there yet.
Here are 5 signs someone may be using 7-OH Kratom 👇
1️⃣ Rapid mood swings
Unusual irritability, agitation, or emotional highs and lows that don’t match the situation.
2️⃣ Pinpoint pupils or glassy eyes
Especially noticeable during conversations or in normal lighting.
3️⃣ Sedation followed by stimulation
Periods of nodding off, followed by restlessness or anxiety as it wears off.
4️⃣ Gastrointestinal issues
Nausea, constipation, stomach pain, or sudden appetite changes.
5️⃣ Withdrawal-like symptoms between use
Sweating, chills, anxiety, body aches, insomnia, or irritability when doses are missed.
⚠️ Important:
7-OH Kratom is far stronger than traditional kratom leaf and carries a real risk of dependence, especially for individuals with a history of substance use.
If you or someone you love is struggling, help is available. Awareness saves lives. Silence doesn’t.
📍 If you’re unsure what you’re seeing, trust your instincts and ask questions.
🤍 Compassion first. Love always.
