Kratom is now illegal in Kansas. But dependence didn't disappear.
On July 1, Kansas classified kratom and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) as Schedule I controlled substances. While the law changed overnight, many people are still living with dependence, withdrawal, and uncertainty.
For families, employers, healthcare providers, and community members, it's important to understand what this change really means.
Our newest article explores:
• What the new Kansas law covers
• Why kratom and concentrated 7-OH products have raised serious concerns
• How dependence can continue after a substance becomes illegal
• Warning signs families should know
• Why compassionate, evidence-based treatment remains essential
Recovery starts with understanding, not judgment.
