MN HF3452

Kratom's active compounds (mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine) would be classified as Schedule II controlled substances in Minnesota, placing them alongside opioids like oxycodone, fentanyl, and methamphetamine

Schedule II classification means kratom would require a prescription, with strict limits on manufacturing, distribution, and possession

The bill repeals existing Minnesota statute section 152.027, subdivision 7, which currently treats kratom sales to minors as a gross misdemeanor and possession by minors as a misdemeanor

The reclassification would make unlawful possession or sale of kratom subject to more severe Schedule II drug penalties rather than the current age-based restrictions
