Nitazene Control Act: Permanently Scheduling Potent Synthetic Opioids
This act permanently classifies nitazenes, a group of very potent synthetic opioids, as Schedule I controlled substances. This means that the possession, manufacture, and distribution of these substances will be subject to severe penalties, similar to heroin or fentanyl. The goal is to protect public health by restricting access to these dangerous drugs and combating their illicit trade.
