Classifies 7 Hydroxymitragynine as a Schedule I drug in New Jersey.

This bill classifies 7 Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) as a Schedule I drug in New Jersey. This classification is based on the substance's high potential for abuse and lack of accepted medical use or safety for treatment under medical supervision. As a Schedule I drug, manufacturing, distribution, or possession with intent to manufacture or distribute would be considered illegal and punishable as a crime. The bill amends the "New Jersey Controlled Dangerous Substances Act" to include 7-OH in the list of Schedule I substances.
