7OH is a new drug that has showed itself to be highly addictive for many people, yet it's perfectly legal in most places, there's no regulation for it, and many people start on it with no idea of what they are getting into.

Kira and Casey discuss all the ins and outs of 7OH and what we are doing to help further research about it.
