The “which states ban 7-OH” list is the one that changes under you, so this post is written as a map of the terrain rather than a frozen list — with the live list where it belongs: the compliance page, the same reference our fulfillment team uses.
How state restrictions actually work
States restrict these products through different legal mechanisms, and the distinction matters: some ban the products outright; some restrict sales of concentrated alkaloid forms; some address the alkaloids by name. A “ban” in one state can be narrower or broader than a “restriction” in another, which is why the per-state mechanism — not just the word — is what determines whether we can fulfil an order there. The federal layer (see the federal overview and the DEA process) interacts on top of all of it, and is the part currently in motion.
What the landscape looks like in 2026
The pattern across the country: a core of states with active restrictions, a larger group with none on the books as of this writing, and a steady flow of legislative activity in both directions. The exact count is a number that should be read from the compliance page on the day you order, not from any post published earlier this year. What does not change with the count: the direction of travel at the federal level, and the fact that we do not ship to jurisdictions where the product is controlled — orders that cannot be lawfully fulfilled are cancelled and refunded.
Three buyer scenarios
- You live in an unrestricted state. Order as normal; 21+ verification applies; standard windows apply (the U.S. shipping guide has the region detail).
- You live in a jurisdiction where the product is controlled. This store does not ship there, and an order that could not be lawfully fulfilled would be cancelled and refunded. No workaround exists or should be offered; the compliance page explains how we handle jurisdiction.
- You are moving, traveling, or splitting time between states. The destination’s rules govern possession when you are there. This is the scenario that catches people out — a product lawful in your home state can be a problem in another, and the check is on you before you cross the line, not after.
Why we point here instead of printing the list
A blog post is a snapshot; a live reference is a tool. The compliance page is updated as rules change, it is the same reference the checkout system uses, and it is linked from every product page. If you want the list for a specific state, that is the place to get it — and the contact page is the fallback for anything the page does not answer cleanly.
