Kratom is a plant-based substance sold in Utah smoke shops, supplement stores, and online, sometimes used to manage pain or opioid withdrawal symptoms. This bill updates Utah's kratom and controlled substances laws by adding two specific compounds found in kratom — 7-hydroxymitragynine and Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl — to Utah's Schedule I controlled substances list, meaning they are treated the same as heroin or LSD under state law. The restriction on 7-hydroxymitragynine applies when that compound is concentrated at more than 0.4% of a product's total kratom alkaloid content; the bill also updates the standard kratom processors must follow to reflect this new threshold rather than the previous 2% limit.
