State Sen.. Mike Henderson, a Republican from Deslodge, is sponsoring legislation to ban 7-OH and regulate kratom products (Tim Bommel\/Missouri House Communications).<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Republican state Sen. Mike Henderson believes he has the support to advance a bill that would impose age limits on kratom sales and ban the stronger opioid-like products known as 7-OH.<\/span><\/p>\n

The legislation is a priority for Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hathaway, who\u2019s said it would strengthen her office\u2019s enforcement authority to go after makers and sellers of 7-OH products<\/a> for violating state consumer protection laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Henderson has worked across the aisle with Democratic state Sen. Maggie Nurrenbern of Kansas City, who has proposed a similar bill<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the effort derailed last week when it ran into bipartisan resistance over the proposed ban on 7-OH.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bill\u2019s future is now unclear, but Henderson said he will not agree to a compromise that would regulate 7-OH rather than ban it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I make that compromise, I\u2019m saying, \u2018I made a little good,\u2019\u201d Henderson told The Independent, \u201cbut I just also kind of made it legal, and I am not willing to do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The name, 7-OH, is short for 7-hydroxymitragynine, and it\u2019s made by<\/span> chemically converting and concentrating the main opioid-inducing element in kratom<\/span><\/a>. 7-OH is sold as gummies, candies, liquid shots, tablets and powders. People can buy it in Missouri smoke shops, gas stations, convenience stores and online shops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes people refer to 7-OH as \u201cgas station heroin,\u201d he said, and he has heard from families whose loved ones became addicted and cycled in and out of rehab. While it\u2019s a naturally occurring substance in kratom, he said, \u201cthe trouble becomes when it becomes enhanced.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone takes too much 7-OH, Narcan can bring them back,\u201d he said, referring to the life-saving nasal spray used to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses. \u201cThat tells you that it\u2019s probably an opioid.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

State Sen. Stephen Webber, <\/span>a Columbia Democrat<\/span>, said he wants both kratom and 7-OH to be <\/span>sold in stores where people have to be over 21 to enter, not in gas stations or regular stores. But he\u2019s against a full ban on 7-OH.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want kratom more restricted than his bill makes it,\u201d Webber told The Independent, \u201c(and) I want 7-OH heavily regulated but not outright banned, due to its potential as an opioid alternative for some patients dealing with chronic pain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Support for the ban largely comes from physicians and opioid-addiction specialists, who argued 7-OH products can lead to addiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Opponents, including some chronic pain patients, say available FDA-approved medications come with serious side effects and that 7-OH has improved their quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Webber argued during a Senate debate last week that 7-OH products \u201cprovide some valuable pain relief and an alternative to opioids that, as I think we all agree, are devastating our country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The bill would require disclaimers on labels and prohibit the distribution, advertisement or sale of a kratom product to a person under 21. It would not be allowed to mimic candy or appeal to children, and it would have to be stored behind a counter or where products can\u2019t be accessed by people under 21.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Webber agrees with all those provisions. His objection is to the provision allowing only trace amounts of 7-hydroxymitragynine, which naturally exists in kratom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Webber said it was not his intention to kill the bill during last week\u2019s debate.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he also did not step aside and allow it to come to a vote \u2014 what Henderson called \u201cessentially a filibuster.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cAt some level, it\u2019s semantics,\u201d Webber told The Independent, \u201cbut as someone who has participated in a lot of filibusters, I wouldn\u2019t say it was in that category.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Webber said he and several other lawmakers agreed to keep talking to \u201cto see if we can figure out a regulatory structure that works for everyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWorking out issues like this is a pretty common place to be for bills at this point in session,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t really have any predictions on how it will play out at the moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Republican state Sen. Nick Schroer joined Webber in blocking a vote on the bill. And while both told Henderson they weren\u2019t trying to kill his legislation, they didn\u2019t step aside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schroer said he would like both kratom and 7-OH banned, but he\u2019s not going to hold up the bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn the floor, he stated he may be comfortable banning 7-OH this year,\u201d Schroer told The Independent, \u201cand if we see those folks flooding the kratom market to get their fix, then we will have to come back and ban that as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Henderson said he\u2019s committed to keeping the pressure on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019ve got the votes in the Senate to pass the bill,\u201d Henderson said. \u201cIn fact, I\u2019m very positive if I can get it to a vote.\u201d<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
