HB1712

Mississippi HB1712 would add kratom to Schedule III of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.

Mississippi HB1712 amends the state's controlled substances law to add kratom, a plant containing mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, to Schedule III. This classification regulates the substance similarly to other substances in the same category, including restrictions on its prescription, dispensation, and distribution. The bill specifies that kratom includes its salts, isomers, salts of isomers, sulfate, free acid, or derivatives. The act aims to control the use of kratom by placing it under the state's regulatory framework for controlled substances.
