Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA)

Updated:

Definition

The family of state statutes that regulate rather than ban kratom: an age (21 in most, 18 in some), a cap on 7-hydroxymitragynine, a ban on synthetic alkaloids, and label content. DEA counted nineteen such states in October 2026; Delaware, Minnesota and Wyoming added statutes in 2026.

DEA's October 2026 notice names the states with kratom consumer-protection statutes: "Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia" (91 FR 65370). Delaware, Minnesota and Wyoming passed statutes in 2026, and Utah and Rhode Island have since moved to licensed or leaf-only regimes.

The acts share four kinds of rule. An age, 21 in most states and 18 in Arizona, Illinois, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. A cap on 7-hydroxymitragynine, written as 2 percent of the alkaloid fraction or in milligrams per gram, per serving or per container. A ban on synthetic or semi-synthetic alkaloids. And label content: Georgia's act, for example, requires ingredients, the amounts of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, and directions for use (Georgia Department of Law). This store's state table encodes each state's version as a "gate" row whose note is rendered on the product page.
