End Gas Station Heroin Act

This bill would add the chemicals 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl to Schedule I, the most restricted category under federal drug law. Kratom products where these chemicals occur naturally would be exempt if they stay under set concentration limits, but versions that are synthesized, concentrated, or otherwise manufactured would not be exempt. The bill would also treat certain unscheduled synthetic opioids that are stronger than morphine, are not FDA-approved, and are sold for human use as Schedule I substances for purposes of making, importing, and selling them. It states that people could not be investigated or penalized under this section solely for buying, possessing, or personally using these substances. Although the title mentions MGM-15 and MGM-16, the bill text does not name those substances.
