End Gas Station Heroin Act
The End Gas Station Heroin Act adds two specific kratom compounds, 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, to the federal list of Schedule I controlled substances. However, it includes an exemption for these compounds when they occur naturally in finished kratom products that meet strict concentration limits, while explicitly excluding synthetically produced or chemically concentrated versions from this protection. The bill also creates a new enforcement mechanism that treats any emerging synthetic opioid with greater potency than morphine as a Schedule I controlled substance if it is manufactured or distributed for commercial sale. This provision targets the production and distribution of these substances but explicitly prohibits criminal or civil penalties for simple possession or personal use by consumers.
