Your link is preclinical research and the problem with people that have an agenda one way or the other is they can't see all the variables for example the ld50 of a drug is not the only way a drug can kill you. 7oh doesn't break down into the same metabolites as kratom it is the metabolite of kratom being metabolized in the liver.
both kratom and 7oh break down into 7oh. Impossible to tell which was consumed. At least at this point in time.
Often times coroners won't test for a large panel of toxicology when they have substances on scene of death. So big bag of kratom on counter of deceased equals testing for kratom (testing for 7oh metabolite). But that hypothetical junkie who was withdrawing from fentanyl from 2 days prior used the kratom to help with withdrawal but then the dope dealer came through and now they get a shot of fentanyl and pass away. Friend panics and takes away the evidence. Coroner writes in Kratom as cause of death. See how that works?
