San Francisco Confirms First Death from Synthetic Opioid Hidden in Gas Station Supplements

San Francisco health officials issued a public warning after a 37-year-old man died from an overdose of MGM-15, a potent synthetic opioid found in supplements marketed as 'cat's claw.' The substance, sold in gas stations and smoke shops, is a Schedule 1 drug with no medical use. While the product packaging did not list kratom or 7-OH, forensic testing confirmed the presence of the dangerous compound in both the victim and the tablets. Officials urge the public to use naloxone for suspected overdoses, noting that similar deaths have occurred in Utah and Washington.

San Francisco Confirms First Death from 'Gas Station Heroin' Opioid

San Francisco health officials confirmed the city's first fatal overdose involving dihydro-7-hydroxymirtragynine (MGM-15), a potent semi-synthetic opioid derived from kratom. The victim, a 37-year-old man, died in late September after consuming tablets marketed as 'cat's claw' or 'uncaria tomentosa.' The substance, which is up to 50 times more potent than morphine, is a Schedule 1 drug but remains available in smoke shops and gas stations. Officials warned that the product packaging often obscures the presence of the opioid, and naloxone is recommended for reversal.
