Kratom; add to Schedule I of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
HB 864 adds kratom to Schedule I of Mississippi's Controlled Substances Act, classifying it as a substance with no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. This change directly affects anyone in Mississippi who uses, possesses, or sells kratom, making it illegal under state law. The bill amends existing law to include kratom in the Schedule I list, which currently prohibits substances like heroin and LSD. This is a straightforward policy change with no exemptions for medical or personal use.
