MN SF3711

Kratom's active compounds (mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine) would be added to Minnesota's Schedule II controlled substance list, placing them alongside opioids like morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl

Schedule II classification would make possession, sale, and distribution of kratom subject to the same criminal penalties as other Schedule II drugs, requiring a prescription for legal use

Repeals the existing Minnesota statute (section 152.027, subdivision 7) that currently treats kratom offenses separately, with sale to minors as a gross misdemeanor and possession by minors as a misdemeanor

The bill covers kratom whether produced by extraction from plant material, chemical synthesis, or a combination of both methods, including all isomers, esters, ethers, and salts of the compounds
