QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you heard of the legal drugs 7-OH or kratom?
Matthew Sanders
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has issued a warning about a psychoactive product many people have probably never heard of.
The department says Missourians should stay away from products containing 7-OH — a natural compound derived from the plant kratom that is marketed as a way to deal with stress, pain and other maladies. However, health officials say it can have harmful opioid-like effects that can end in death in the worst scenarios.
Kratom and 7-OH are not regulated and can be sold openly.
