quitting7oh.org is a community-compiled reference for getting off 7-OH, MGM-15, and other kratom-derived synthetics. It grew out of conversations in our Discord and subreddit, pulling together what people in our community have learned the hard way, and organizing it so the next person doesn’t have to scroll through hundreds of reddit posts to find the one paragraph that answers their question.
Who this is for
If you’re here, you’re probably one of:
- Someone trying to quit 7-OH or a kratom synthetic, looking for practical, organized information on what works
- A family member or partner trying to understand what your person is dealing with
- A clinician treating a patient on these compounds, looking for compound-specific pharmacology that isn’t in the standard addiction-medicine playbook
- Someone in our Discord or subreddit pointing a friend at the site
The site is meant to be the resource we wished we’d had, calm, organized, no marketing language, no judgment, no “you should.” It’s for the 3 a.m. moments when you can’t sleep, you can’t focus, and you don’t want to scroll past the same five posts again. We tried to make it scannable in a hurry and dense enough to come back to.
The AI disclaimer
Most of the writing on this site went through an LLM. The source material is lived experience from this community: the maintainers and moderators have direct experience using and withdrawing from 7-OH and kratom synthetics, on top of a year of helping others through the same. AI was used as a writing tool inside a structured ruleset published in CLAUDE.md. Every factual claim was verified against a primary source before publishing, and every page was read by at least one community member who has lived through this.
The full walkthrough of the process, the guardrails, the hard limits, and the anti-AI-writing-pattern ruleset is on How AI Was Used.
AI introduces its own failure modes. If you find content that’s:
- Wrong: factually incorrect, out of date, missing context that changes the meaning
- Harmful: recommends something dangerous, or fails to warn about something it should
- Objectionable: for any reason worth pushing back on
please open an issue or pull request on GitHub, or reach out via any of the channels on Contributing & Feedback. We want to know.
If you’re philosophically opposed to AI-assisted writing, this site isn’t the resource for you. Plenty of other recovery resources exist that were written entirely by hand. We chose this approach because it let us organize and present detailed, compound-specific information that didn’t exist anywhere in this form before, and that gap was hurting people in our community. The trade-off was deliberate.
What this site is not
- Not medical advice. Everything here is community-compiled information. It’s a starting point for your own research and a conversation with a qualified clinician, not a substitute for one.
- Not a treatment program. We don’t prescribe, monitor anyone’s taper, or run a clinic.
- Not the active community. The site is reference material. The live conversation happens in the Discord and subreddit.
- Not affiliated with any vendor, treatment facility, or pharmacy. No ads, no sponsorships, no monetization of any kind. If a page mentions a specific telehealth provider or supplement, it’s because community members have used it, not because anyone is paying us to mention it.
Where to go from here
- Start Here: if you came looking for actual recovery information rather than meta-content about the site.
- The Community: about the Discord and subreddit, the history of how this project started, and the current mod and admin teams.
- Contributing & Feedback: how to suggest corrections, propose changes, or reach the team.
- Where the Site Stands: for readers from the broader kratom community, responsible users, or anyone wondering whether the site is part of a ban-related campaign. (It isn’t.)
