Veterans & First Responders Program
You Served Our Country. Now Let Us Stand With You.
To everyone who has worn the uniform or answered the call in service to their community, thank you.
Your sacrifice earned the right to make informed decisions about your own health. At 7-HOPE Alliance, we believe those choices should be protected, not taken away.
Our Veterans & First Responders Program brings together military veterans, active-duty service members, law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, corrections officers, and other first responders who believe responsible adults deserve continued access to legal 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) products.
Many members of our community have shared that 7-OH has played an important role in helping them manage chronic pain, navigate recovery, reduce reliance on prescription medications, or improve their quality of life. As policymakers debate the future of 7-OH, we believe these voices deserve to be heard.
Our mission is simple:
- Protect access through responsible regulation, not prohibition.
- Ensure veterans and first responders have a seat at the table in policy discussions.
- Elevate real stories from those who have served.
- Advocate for science, education, and evidence-based policymaking.
We believe those who have dedicated their lives to protecting others should never be ignored when decisions are made that affect their own lives.
Why This Matters
Military veterans and first responders often face unique physical and emotional challenges after years of service.
Whether managing chronic pain, recovering from injuries, or simply looking for additional wellness options, many have found 7-OH to be an important part of their personal journey.
As lawmakers across the country consider bans and restrictions, these stories matter.
Public policy should be guided by science, responsible regulation, and the lived experiences of those directly affected.
Responsible Regulation, Not Prohibition
7-HOPE Alliance supports commonsense safeguards that protect consumers while preserving adult access.
We advocate for measures including:
- Sales limited to adults 21+
- Third-party laboratory testing
- Accurate labeling and ingredient transparency
- Child-resistant packaging
- Responsible manufacturing standards
- Continued scientific research
Protecting public health does not require prohibition.
Veterans Are Speaking Up
Veterans from across the country have already joined together to urge federal leaders to protect responsible adult access to 7-OH and pursue regulation instead of prohibition.
