By CannaWorldMarket editorial team · Sources read through · Not legal advice.

Updated

We review these pages weekly and when laws change, but they aren't exhaustive and aren't legal advice. Laws change and we can make mistakes, so always check official sources before you buy, sell or travel.

As of , our 51 state guides record kratom as legal with limits in 27, illegal in 11 and without a state law that names it in 13.

This list answers which states. For federal law and the latest news, including the DEA's 7-OH notice, see Kratom ban.
