Classifies certain synthetic opioids as Schedule I controlled substances and expands enforcement against their distribution.
The End Gas Station Heroin Act amends the Controlled Substances Act to classify synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl as Schedule I controlled substances when above a specific threshold. It targets synthetic opioids, often sold as "gas station heroin," expanding enforcement actions against manufacturers and distributors. The bill exempts substances approved for medical treatment, not intended for human consumption, naturally occurring in plants, or used for legitimate scientific or law enforcement purposes.
