Nevada MGM-16 ban status: ban in force
Nevada does not name MGM-16 (9-fluoro-dihydro-7-hydroxymitragynine), 7-OH or mitragynine in Schedule I (NAC 453.510, NAC chapter revised 8-26-2026; the most recent Schedule I amendment, LCB File No. R038-26, adds synthetic opiates only). NRS 453.2182 expressly reaches an order of temporary scheduling under 21 U.S.C. 811(h): the Board shall similarly treat the substance after 60 days from issuance unless the Board or an interested party objects, and if no objection is made the Board shall adopt a final regulation treating the substance. The 60-day period from the 2026-08-26 federal order ran on 2026-10-25, but control under this section is effected by Board regulation, and no adopted regulation was found. Nevada’s kratom statute (NRS 597.998) sets age, labeling and adulteration conditions and defines a kratom product by reference to mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine; it contains no synthetic-alkaloid ban. The controlled substance analog provisions (NRS 453.043, 453.219) are keyed to Schedule I or II substances, and Nevada schedules no kratom alkaloid. Status is restricted pending Board action. The Board of Pharmacy took public comment in April and May 2026 on scheduling mitragynine; a workshop does not set status, but a regulation adopted after 2026-08-26 would change this row. Federal Schedule I (temporary, DEA-1644) applies independently.
