This bill would restrict or ban the production and sale of 7-hydroxymitragynine, a powerful opioid-like compound found in kratom, treating it similarly to other controlled substances under federal law. The measure would affect kratom vendors, supplement companies, and consumers who use kratom products, potentially making them illegal to distribute or possess. Law enforcement agencies would gain authority to enforce these restrictions, similar to how they handle other banned drugs.
