Kratom; add to Schedule III of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.

SB 2214 would add kratom to Schedule III of Mississippi's Controlled Substances Act, classifying it as a regulated substance with potential for abuse but lower risk than higher schedules. This would directly affect Mississippi residents who possess, sell, or use kratom products, making possession without authorization subject to Schedule III restrictions (like requiring prescriptions for medical use). The bill's key mechanism is amending existing law to explicitly list kratom under Schedule III, subjecting it to the same regulations as other Schedule III substances like certain stimulants and depressants. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
