People caught with nitazenes would face permanent Schedule 1 penalties — the harshest drug charges in the federal system. This means longer mandatory minimum sentences and more severe criminal records for possession, manufacturing, or distribution. While the bill targets dangerous substances, anyone convicted under these provisions would face serious long-term consequences for employment, housing, and civil rights.
“shall be deemed permanently scheduled and subject to the requirements of Schedule I of section 202(c) of that Act (21 U.S.C. 812(c)) as of the date of enactment of this Act.”
