A San Francisco resident has died after ingesting a semi-synthetic opioid sold in gas stations and smoke shops, the first such case in the city involving dihydro-7-hydroxymirtragynine, also known as MGM-15, health officials said.
Sunnyvale police raided smoke shops across the city and seized thousands of illegal products over the past two months, the city's Department of Public Safety said.
Two Milpitas smoke shops have been cited for allegedly selling illegal products, including the highly-addictive substance kratom, from two smoke shops in Milpitas following concerns raised by community members.
A state assemblymember from San Francisco introduced a new bill this week that aims to regulate kratom products sold in California.
