Kratom laws in Mississippi

SECTION 1. As used in this act, the following terms have the meanings as defined in this section, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
(a) "Kratom product" means a food or dietary supplement that consists of or contains kratom leaf or kratom leaf extract that does not contain any synthesized kratom alkaloids, other kratom constituents, or synthesized metabolites of any kratom constituent in which the level of 7-hydroxymitragynine, on a percent weight basis, is not greater than one percent (1%) of the amount of total kratom alkaloids, as confirmed with a high-performance liquid chromatography testing method and not to exceed one-half (0.5) milligram per container. For the purposes of this paragraph, "synthesized" refers to substances produced using directed synthetic or biosynthetic chemistry, as opposed to traditional food preparation techniques such as heating or extracting.
