This bill adds 45 synthetic opioids and other controlled substances to South Dakota's Schedule I list, which includes drugs with no accepted medical use and high abuse potential. The newly banned substances include various methadone analogs, sedatives like mecloqualone, and other synthetic drugs designed to mimic illegal narcotics. Possession or distribution of these substances will now carry the same criminal penalties as other Schedule I drugs in South Dakota.
