State policy
One table, three outcomes
Every product carries a regulatory class: hemp isolate, hemp broad-spectrum, hemp full-spectrum, hemp THC products (THCa flower, hemp-derived delta-9 drinks and gummies), bulk hemp ingredients (wholesale only), kratom extract, kratom leaf or kava. For each class and each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia, the store keeps one row with a status, the statute or order behind it, the date it was reviewed and a confidence flag. The three statuses are:
- Ship: no state rule beyond the store's own 21+ policy.
- Gate: the product ships, and the product page shows the state's label, age or registration rule.
- Exclude: checkout blocks the line and names the state.
A city, county and parish layer sits under the kratom tables. The full table, with citations, is on the legality hub.
Policy exclusions
Two jurisdictions are excluded for kratom as a matter of policy rather than a clear statute: the District of Columbia, where published trackers conflict, and Maryland, whose label rule requires a numeric 7-hydroxymitragynine figure rather than a not-detected result (Maryland ATCC retailer notice). Rhode Island and Utah are excluded for kratom because lawful sales there run only through in-state licensed or registered retailers. Ohio excludes kratom extract and ships kratom leaf.
For hemp, full-spectrum products are excluded from the states whose hemp laws cap total THC per container below what those products contain, and hemp THC products ship only to the nine states whose law allows them as of the review date (Delaware, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, West Virginia, Wisconsin). Bulk hemp ingredients ship only to approved business accounts with the resale and hemp-handler paperwork the ship-to state requires. The reasoning and citations are in hemp legality by state.
Dated changes
A change with a known effective date is entered before it happens and applied automatically on that date. Kentucky's statewide kratom ban takes effect 2027-07-01; the table ships to Kentucky through 2027-06-30 and excludes it from 2027-07-01. Under federal law, cannabinoids the hemp plant cannot naturally produce lose hemp status on 2026-11-12, and the total-THC standard with the 0.4 mg per innermost container cap applies from 2026-12-11 (P.L. 119-37 section 781 as amended by P.L. 119-103 section 2019). Converted cannabinoids are never sold here; hemp THC products carry a removal date of 2026-12-11; full-spectrum hemp products stay past that date only where the linked lab report shows total THC at or below 0.4 mg per container. See the 2026 federal hemp rule.
When a law changes
A daily watcher reads the Federal Register for DEA and FDA documents naming kratom alkaloids, kava and hemp cannabinoids, and a daily watcher reads state bill status. A final rule or an enacted law with an effective date schedules a removal for that date; proposals and notices create an alert for review. On the effective date the affected products are withdrawn, checkout refuses the class for that state, unshipped order lines are held and refunded, and customers in the affected state who bought the class in the last 90 days are emailed. Reversals restore the previous state. Every event is logged with its source URL and shown on the legality hub.
Review
Rows the research flagged as unverified carry a review badge and are reviewed by counsel before go-live. The whole table is re-checked on a calendar: 2026-11-12 (converted cannabinoids lose hemp status), 2026-11-13 (earliest federal 7-hydroxymitragynine order), 2026-12-11 (federal total-THC standard and container cap), 2026-12-19 (New York kratom label law), 2027-06-30 (last Kentucky ship date), 2027-08-28 (Massachusetts emergency order expiry).
