Botanic Tonics Commends DEA Action Targeting Synthetic Opioid Derivatives Sold as 'Kratom'

Federal action confirms the danger of lab-synthesized substances marketed to consumers under false pretenses; feel free CLASSIC contains no scheduled substances and is unaffected
BROKEN ARROW, OK, August 25, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Botanic Tonics today applauded the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) final temporary order (Docket No. DEA-1644) placing three synthetic opioid compounds: mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (commonly known as MGPI), MGM-15, and MGM-16 into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act that takes effect August 26, 2026.
These three substances do not occur naturally in the kratom plant. The DEA’s own findings describe them as products of laboratory synthesis, chemically modified from purified alkaloid isolates and manufactured to produce opioid effects far more potent than morphine. According to the agency, they have been sold often as flavored, brightly packaged tablets marketed with language like “botanical,” “clean,” and “precision-formulated,” despite carrying documented risks of overdose, dependence, and death.
In its official announcement accompanying the scheduling action, the U.S. Department of Justice stated in a press release:
“This action is directed at deliberately manufactured and concentrated opioid products, not traditional botanical kratom. The published scientific literature has not established MGPI as a naturally occurring kratom alkaloid.”
Botanic Tonics has spent years drawing a hard line between natural kratom leaf and the synthetic, concentrated compounds now under federal scrutiny. The company’s flagship product, feel free CLASSIC, is formulated from natural kratom leaf and noble kava root. It does not contain mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, or MGM-16, and the DEA’s federal action does not apply to traditional, natural kratom leaf formulations.
“Consumers deserve products that are exactly what they say they are,” said Botanic Tonics. “What the DEA acted on this week were lab-made opioids dressed up in kratom packaging to fool people looking for a natural alternative. That’s a different category of product entirely, and drawing that distinction clearly has been a priority for us long before this ruling. We built feel free CLASSIC on natural kratom leaf, and nothing in this order touches that.”
Botanic Tonics has consistently supported regulatory efforts that separate unregulated, synthetically manufactured opioid products from naturally derived botanical ingredients like kratom leaf, and the company views this week’s action as validation of that distinction. Botanic Tonics continues to work with regulators, researchers, and industry partners to advance responsible standards for how kratom-based products are formulated, labeled, and sold.
