Full legal detail
Kratom is currently legal in Idaho. The 2026 session considered four bills: ban bills HB 830 and HB 864 (sponsored by Rep. Mike Pohanka, backed by the Idaho Chiefs of Police Association) would have classified mitragynine as Schedule I; regulatory bills SB 1282 and SB 1418 (sponsored by Sen. Tammy Nichols) would have banned synthetic 7-OH products and set a 21+ purchase age. All four failed to pass before adjournment. After state lawmakers declined to act, the Idaho Falls City Council adopted a local ordinance in June 2026 prohibiting the sale of kratom in all forms within city limits. The ban took effect July 1, 2026; the gap between adoption and the effective date was intended to give retailers time to comply. The ordinance covers sales only and does not apply to possession. Idaho Falls follows Kellogg as the second Idaho city to ban kratom sales. Coeur d'Alene took the other route on September 15, 2026, passing an ordinance titled Regulation of Kratom unanimously: sellers within city limits must obtain a permit, and possession, production, or sale of any product above 2 percent of total alkaloids as 7-OH, or any single serving above 1 milligram of 7-OH, is prohibited, with packaging barred from appealing to children or using the word gummies. Those are the same thresholds used by the Dutchess County local law in New York and by the pending state bill S8925A. The effective date has not been published.
Local exceptions: Kellogg has a local sales ban. Idaho Falls bans the sale of kratom in all forms within city limits effective July 1, 2026 (possession not affected). Coeur d'Alene regulates rather than bans: an ordinance passed September 15, 2026 requires sellers to hold a permit and prohibits products above 2 percent of total alkaloids as 7-OH or above 1 milligram per serving, so natural leaf clears the potency cap while the permit requirement stands.
