Overview
This bill seeks to classify tianeptine, a drug sometimes referred to as "gas station heroin," as a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance in New Jersey. Currently, tianeptine is experiencing a surge in the illicit drug market and is being misused for its opioid-like effects. Due to the potential for severe health risks, including respiratory depression and death, the state is taking action to regulate its distribution and use.
