Outlaw kratom.

SB 2822 makes kratom illegal in Mississippi by adding it to Schedule III of the state's Controlled Substances Act, classifying it as a restricted drug. This directly affects anyone who uses, sells, or distributes kratom products within the state, effectively banning its sale and possession. The bill also repeals existing laws that previously imposed an excise tax on kratom sales and established regulatory rules for kratom products. These changes remove all legal pathways for kratom commerce, treating it like other controlled substances under Mississippi law.
