Bill > S322

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to classify tianeptine as a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance, meaning it has a high potential for abuse, a currently accepted medical use in the United States (though potentially with severe restrictions), and abuse can lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. Tianeptine, sometimes called "gas station heroin," is a substance that has seen a significant increase in illicit use due to its opioid-like euphoric effects, and its misuse has been linked to dangerous health consequences including respiratory depression, extreme sedation, and death. The bill specifically adds tianeptine and its various forms, salts, and chemically equivalent preparations to the list of controlled dangerous substances within Schedule II, which already includes other potent substances like opium, opiates, and fentanyl.
