Full legal detail

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. Ocala directed its city attorney on July 21, 2026 to draft a kratom sales-ban ordinance in coordination with Marion County, but the Marion County Commission declined to move forward on August 18, 2026, citing enforcement difficulty and pending federal action on concentrated 7-OH; that drafting effort is paused and nothing has been adopted.
