Vermont Dept. of Health Regulated Drug Rule (Code Vt. R. 13-140-011), Sec. 7.0 (Hallucinogenic Drugs...), effective 7/15/2019 - listed entry (bare named substance, no isomer/salt tail):
"Mitragynine"
(For contrast the metabolite is listed with full chemical name: "7-hydroxymitragynine; (aE,2S,3S,7aS,12bS)-3-Ethyl-1,2,3,4,6,7,7a,12b-octahydro-7a-hydroxy-8-methoxy-a-(methoxymethylene)indolo[2,3-a]quinolizine-2-acetic acid methyl ester.")

"Hallucinogenic Drug" class (Rule Sec. 3.7 / 18 V.S.A. 4201(10)) - NO isomer clause:
"\"Hallucinogenic Drug\" means stramonium, mescaline or peyote, lysergic acid diethylamide, and psilocybin, and all synthetic equivalents of chemicals contained in resinous extractives of Cannabis sativa, or any salts or derivatives or compounds of any preparations or mixtures thereof, and any other substance which is designated as habit-forming or as having a serious potential for abuse..."

18 V.S.A. 4201 isomer clauses attach only to specifically enumerated drugs and are optical/geometric (e.g., cocaine "its salts, optical and geometric isomers, and salts of isomers"). Vermont has no diastereomer/stereoisomer catch-all.
