Kratom to join heroin, LSD on Schedule I drug list

Beginning September 30, kratom will be considered a Schedule I drug, a substance that has "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse," the Drug Enforcement Administration announced today. Other Schedule I drugs include heroin, LSD, marijuana and ecstasy. In this week's Federal Register, the DEA proposes designating the drug as Schedule I for up to three years. After that time, the status could be extended permanently.
