Classifies 7 Hydroxymitragynine as Schedule I drug.

This bill would classify 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a psychoactive compound found in Kratom, as a Schedule I controlled substance in New Jersey. It would make 7-OH illegal to possess, manufacture, or distribute without a prescription, as Schedule I drugs are defined as having no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Possession of 7-OH would be punishable as a crime (with penalties up to five years in prison and $15,000 in fines for smaller amounts). The bill directly affects individuals who currently use or distribute 7-OH, which is commonly available in Kratom products and sold for its opioid-like effects.
