Federal law would make synthetic opioids and certain kratom ingredients illegal to sell.

This bill would make it illegal to manufacture or sell certain synthetic opioids, sometimes called 'gas station heroin.' It would also add synthetic versions of two kratom ingredients to the list of controlled substances, with specific rules for natural kratom products. This aims to stop the commercial distribution of these dangerous substances.

What Would Change

Today, synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine, mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, and many emerging synthetic opioids are not explicitly listed as Schedule I controlled substances. If this bill passes, synthetic versions of the kratom ingredients would be explicitly added to Schedule I, and emerging synthetic opioids would be treated as Schedule I substances for commercial activities. This would make it illegal to manufacture or sell these substances, with specific concentration limits for natural kratom products.

Key Provisions

Would make synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl Schedule I controlled substances.
Would set limits for how much of these substances can be in natural kratom products (1 milligram per gram for solids, 1 milligram per milliliter for liquids, or 1 part per 100 parts mitragynine by mass).
Would treat 'covered emerging synthetic opioids' as Schedule I controlled substances for anyone making or selling them commercially.
Would protect individuals from penalties for simply possessing or personally using 'covered emerging synthetic opioids' under this specific section of the law.
