The rules

What the Indiana rules actually say.

Kratom has been illegal in Indiana since 2014, scheduled as a synthetic controlled substance despite being a plant. No repeal bill was filed in 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 has been illegal in Indiana since 2014, making it one of the first states to ban it. Indiana incorrectly categorized kratom as a synthetic drug, scheduling it as a synthetic controlled substance. Advocacy efforts to replace the ban with the KCPA continue: HB 1542, introduced in the 2025 session by Reps. Robert Morris and Shane Lindauer, would have regulated kratom under a KCPA framework but died in the House Committee on Commerce, Small Business, and Economic Development. No kratom legislation was introduced in the 2026 session; advocates are targeting the 2027 session for the next attempt.

Local exceptions. None. Statewide ban.
