The Detail

What the current Florida rules actually say.

Kratom is legal in Florida under the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (CS/HB 179, signed 2023), which sets the minimum sales age at 21 and prohibits synthetic kratom and products adulterated with controlled substances. In August 2025, Florida made it a felony to sell, possess, or distribute concentrated 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). Two 2026 bills (SB 994 by Sen. Gruters and HB 1205) would have further expanded the KCPA with mandatory lab testing, FDACS permitting, mixing prohibitions with caffeine/alcohol/cannabinoids/kava, and school-buffer restrictions — both stalled, with SB 994 dying in Commerce and Tourism on March 13, 2026.

Local exceptions: Sarasota County — kratom has been banned since 2014 and the county ban remains in effect despite the statewide KCPA.
