H.R. 10272

Highlight any text to annotate

The End Gas Station Heroin Act targets emerging synthetic opioids sold in commercial settings, often informally known as "gas station heroin." The bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to classify two specific compounds, MGM-15 and MGM-16, as Schedule I controlled substances and to schedule concentrated forms of 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl as Schedule I when they exceed certain thresholds. The legislation creates a broad enforcement mechanism that treats any emerging synthetic opioid as Schedule I if it demonstrates greater potency than morphine and is being commercially distributed, without requiring formal scheduling by the federal government. Importantly, the bill protects users by prohibiting criminal or civil enforcement against individuals for simple possession or personal use, while targeting manufacturers and distributors of these substances. Natural kratom products fall under an exemption as long as they do not exceed specified concentration limits of these compounds.
