Aug. 13, 2025 – According to Dr. Dawn Sollee, a toxicologist with the Florida Poison Control Center, 7-OH has opioid-like effects, which can make it seem attractive to those seeking pain relief. However, there are underlying risks that many may not be aware of. “People are using this product that has a higher potential for addiction and a higher potential for withdrawal, and side effects.”
dditionally, because 7-OH products were never regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some versions contained dangerously high concentrations of the extract.
“They make it available in gummies and tablets, pill form and vapes,” Dr. Sollee said. “So now people are using this product that has a higher potential for addiction.”
Health experts warn that the colorful packaging and candy-like forms of 7-OH products pose a particular risk to children.
“The real danger is when you have children who are getting exposed to these products,” Dr. Sollee noted. “Their bodies are so small and they can’t take the dosage that an adult can take, and these are so highly potent.”
