MS HB364

Adds tianeptine (including all salts, sulfates, free acids, and derivatives) to Schedule I of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act under the opiates category

Adds mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (the primary active alkaloids in kratom) to Schedule I under the stimulants category

Classification as Schedule I means these substances are deemed to have high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use, and lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision

Possession, sale, and distribution of kratom and tianeptine would become criminal offenses under Mississippi's controlled substances laws

Effective date: July 1, 2023
