Jordan Adds Four Narcotics to Banned List
The Official Gazette in Jordan announced the addition of four new psychoactive substances to the list of prohibited substances under the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016. The added substances include: Mitragynine, 7-Hydroxymitragynine, MGM-10, and Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl. The decision was approved following recommendations from a specialized committee and the approval of the Council of Ministers on September 16, 2026. The measure aims to enhance the regulation of substances that impact public health and facilitate the fight against addiction. The new substances are derived from the Kratom plant and affect the opioid neurotransmitters in the brain, with a high potential for dependence and addiction, and may cause withdrawal symptoms upon cessation.
