Bans the commercial sale of dangerous synthetic opioids often called 'gas station heroin' and regulates certain kratom compounds.
This bill would make it illegal to commercially manufacture, distribute, or sell certain powerful synthetic opioids, often known as 'gas station heroin.' It would also add specific synthetic kratom compounds to the list of highly controlled substances. However, individuals would not face charges for simply possessing or personally using these substances under this bill.
Today, synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine and Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl are not explicitly listed as Schedule I controlled substances. Enforcement against emerging synthetic opioids relies on existing analogue laws or individual scheduling processes, which can be slow. If this bill becomes law, synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine and Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl would be explicitly listed as Schedule I controlled substances. Also, a new framework would treat 'covered emerging synthetic opioids' as Schedule I substances for commercial manufacturing and distribution offenses, without needing a separate scheduling process for each new drug. Naturally occurring kratom compounds would be exempt if they contain less than 1 milligram per gram (for solids) or 1 milligram per milliliter (for liquids), and less than 1 part per 100 parts mitragynine.
