After public outcry and objections from members of Congress, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has withdrawn its intent to classify two chemicals produced naturally by the kratom tree as Schedule I controlled substances. Instead, the DEA has opened a formal comment period for public and technical comments on their originally intended actions against the two alkaloids from kratom (Mitragyna speciosa Korth.): mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
