Overview
This bill would classify 7-hydroxymitragynine, a compound found in the kratom plant, as a Schedule I controlled substance in New Jersey. Currently, kratom is legal in New Jersey, but this legislation would place 7-hydroxymitragynine under the same restrictions as other highly addictive and dangerous drugs. The goal of this action is to limit access to and research of this compound, citing concerns about potential public health risks. It would require law enforcement to enforce these new regulations and establish penalties for violations.
