The rules

What the Connecticut rules actually say.

Kratom is a Schedule 1 controlled substance in Connecticut, leaf and extract alike, along with 7-OH. Retailers were ordered to clear their shelves in March 2026.

Prohibited on our map: kratom is a controlled substance in this state, or a statewide sales ban has passed. We don't ship where a ban is in force.

Full legal detail

Kratom is illegal in Connecticut, effective March 25, 2026. Acting under authority granted by Public Act 25-101, the Legislative Regulation Review Committee approved regulations on February 24, 2026 designating Mitragyna speciosa (kratom), including its leaves, stem, and any extracts, as well as 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), as Schedule 1 Controlled Substances. The Department of Consumer Protection issued guidance on March 4, 2026 requiring all businesses to remove kratom products from shelves immediately and return or destroy them by March 25, 2026. The scheduling reaches possession as well as manufacture, sale, and distribution, so it applies to buyers as well as sellers, and charges can be felonies.

Local exceptions. None. Statewide ban.
