Community Awareness
Kratom, in all forms, including its two primary alkaloids, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH/ 7 Hydroxy), is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in Connecticut and is illegal to possess or sell.
The Greenwich Police Department encourages parents and guardians to familiarize themselves with these products and talk with their children about the risks associated with their use. These substances may be sold in commercially packaged forms such as tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, or extracts. Packaging that resembles other over-the-counter or commercially available products does not mean the substance is legal or safe.
Products containing 7-OH aka 7 Hydroxy can produce powerful opioid-like effects. High doses can cause respiratory depression, extreme sedation, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and potentially fatal overdose.
Awareness and education are important parts of prevention. Parents and guardians are encouraged to have open conversations with young people about these substances, pay attention to unfamiliar products or packaging, and understand the serious health and legal risks associated with kratom and 7-OH products in Connecticut
