Relating to the addition of certain substances to Penalty Group 2 of the Texas Controlled Substances Act.

SB 1867 would add 20+ specific synthetic drugs - including 5-APB, Bromo-DragonFLY, and methoxetamine - to Penalty Group 2 of Texas' Controlled Substances Act. This change would make possession or distribution of these substances illegal under the same penalties currently applied to drugs like MDMA and methamphetamine. The bill directly affects individuals in Texas who possess, distribute, or manufacture these newly classified substances. It amends Section 481.103(a) of the Health and Safety Code to explicitly list these compounds as controlled substances.
