Nevada permits 7-hydroxymitragynine products under specific conditions — typically including age limits, labeling requirements, and caps on 7-OH concentration in total alkaloids.
Summary
Regulated under the 2019 Kratom Consumer Protection Act. A 2025 bill to expand registration (AB322A) failed.
Detailed status
Nevada's 2019 Kratom Consumer Protection Act (18+ age limit, labeling) remains the operative law. AB322A in 2025 would have required kratom sellers to register with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health and established administrative fines; it failed. Las Vegas nonprofits have reported rising 7-OH use in vulnerable populations.

Frequently asked
Direct answers about 7-hydroxymitragynine in Nevada.
- Is 7-hydroxymitragynine legal in Nevada?
- Nevada permits 7-hydroxymitragynine products under specific conditions — typically including age limits, labeling requirements, and caps on 7-OH concentration in total alkaloids.
- Can I buy 7-OH online and have it shipped to Nevada?
- Shipping to Nevada is generally permitted for products that comply with state regulations, including age-verification and potency limits. Retailers selling non-compliant products into Nevada may be in violation of state law regardless of where the sale originates.
- Is kratom the same as 7-hydroxymitragynine in Nevada?
- Not exactly. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is the plant; 7-hydroxymitragynine is one of its active alkaloids, which can also be concentrated or semi-synthesized to much higher potencies than occur naturally. Nevada's laws may treat the natural leaf, its alkaloids, and concentrated/synthetic 7-OH differently — see the Legal at a Glance panel above for the specifics that apply here.
- What is the minimum age to buy 7-OH in Nevada?
- 18. Retailers in Nevada are required to verify age before sale. Sales to anyone under 18 can result in licensing consequences for the seller.
- Is Nevada considering new 7-OH legislation?
- Yes. AB 322A (2025) (Failed). Would have required kratom sellers to register with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health and added administrative fines.
- What happens if I already bought 7-OH and Nevada's law changes?
- Laws typically distinguish between sale (prohibited for retailers immediately) and personal possession (often given a grace period, though not always). When Nevada has changed status in the past, state agencies have usually issued guidance to consumers and retailers. Check the most recent state guidance linked in the Sources section before assuming an existing purchase remains legal.
- When was this page last verified?
- This page was last reviewed on 2026-04-01. Because kratom and 7-OH law changes quickly, we re-verify active-legislation states at least quarterly and update the page when new bills, court rulings, or enforcement actions are reported. This is not legal advice — verify the current statute or consult an attorney in Nevada before relying on it.
