In this educational webinar, the 7-HOPE Alliance partnered with Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) to find out how to stay safe when selecting and using kratom and emerging kratom-derived products like 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, and MGM-15.
This session was moderated by SSDP’s Finnegan McGuinness and featured addiction scientist Dr. Michele Ross who has lived experience with kratom as a chronic pain patient.
You’ll learn:
• The history of kratom, including when different types of products were developed• What the different categories of kratom products are• What kratom alkaloids might be in a product, and which ones are completely synthetic• How to read a product label and understand formulation and dosage• Why lab testing is so important – and where to check for it• What the science says a safe dose is• Potential drug interactions associated with different products• Why sublingual films, vapes, and even drinks can be more risky• Whether naloxone works overdose based on the product formulation and dose taken• What to do if you think might be addicted to kratom or 7-OH
This webinar is intended to help viewers better understand the science, separate fact from misinformation, and engage in informed conversations about the future of these products.
