Kratom; add to Schedule III of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
HB 1122 would classify kratom as a Schedule III controlled substance under Mississippi law, adding it to the state's list of regulated drugs. This change would subject kratom products to the same legal restrictions as other Schedule III substances, such as requiring prescriptions for medical use and imposing penalties for unauthorized possession or distribution. The bill directly affects Mississippi residents who use, sell, or distribute kratom products, as it would make their use subject to state drug laws. The key mechanism is amending Section 41-29-117 of Mississippi's Code to include kratom in Schedule III's list of controlled substances. This is a regulatory classification change, not a prohibition.
