What this bill does
The End Gas Station Heroin Act would amend the Controlled Substances Act to add certain substances—7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, along with their salts, isomers, and synthetic analogs—to Schedule I, the category for drugs deemed to have high abuse potential and no accepted medical use. The bill includes an exemption for these compounds when naturally occurring in kratom products below specified concentration thresholds, but not when they are synthesized, chemically converted, or otherwise manufactured to increase potency.
The bill also creates a separate enforcement framework for "covered emerging synthetic opioids"—lab-made substances more potent than morphine at opioid receptors that are sold commercially, not FDA-approved, and not already scheduled. These substances would be treated as Schedule I solely for purposes of prosecuting manufacture, distribution, or intent to distribute; the bill explicitly bars criminal or civil penalties based solely on simple possession or personal use. It also clarifies how this new authority interacts with existing analogue-drug law and preserves state authority.
This measure would primarily affect manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of kratom-derived or synthetic opioid products, while shielding individual consumers from possession-based prosecution. It was introduced September 3, 2026, and referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and the Judiciary; no further action has occurred.
