Advocacy and education efforts are underway with the regulators and legislators of jurisdiction.
In 2023, lawmakers in Arkansas introduced a bill aimed at lifting the state’s existing ban on kratom. The proposal included strict safety regulations surrounding the product’s distribution, labeling, and usage. However, the bill has yet to move forward in either chamber of the Arkansas legislature.
This proposed bill, known as the Arkansas Kratom Consumer Protection Act (AKCPA), mirrors the framework of the federal Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA). If passed, it would reclassify kratom by removing it from the Schedule 1 controlled substances list and establish safety standards designed to ensure product quality and protect consumers.
While kratom remains banned in Arkansas for now, this initiative signals the possibility of future legalization under a regulated system. To stay informed about developments, it’s best to follow updates from reliable local news outlets, trusted kratom vendors like Kratomade, and advocacy organizations such as the American Kratom Association (AKA).
If you would like to help protect Kratom please look into the American Kratom Association. The AKA has organized the American Kratom Protectors. They are a national grassroots organization that will help lead the advocacy efforts as we fight state bans, share correct information about Kratom, and push passage of state and federal Kratom Consumer Protection Acts.

of requirements, some of which cover:
Due to the herb being unregulated by the Food & Drug Administration, some states are concerned about Kratom leading to addiction. More research is being conducted on this plant daily, and in the meantime, rules and regulations are continuously being updated.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) oversees security and has specific rules regarding various items, including Kratom.
While it's not a prohibited item, Kratom powders over 12 oz will be placed in a separate bin for X-ray screening. You can bring Kratom in your carry-on or checked luggage, but we recommend clearly labeleling the product to avoid any confusion.
Keep Kratom in its original packaging if possible.
Laws widely vary outside of the U.S. You will have to do some research beforehand to see which countries have banned Kratom.
A handful of countries where Kratom is ILLEGAL include:
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, and Vietnam.
There is no federal minimum age to purchase Kratom products. The age limit differs by state.
For example, in Colorado and Tennessee you must be at least 21 years of age to purchase Kratom.
In New Hampshire and North Carolina, the age limit is 18.
