The rules

What the Michigan rules actually say.

Kratom is legal in Michigan, but Sterling Heights bans sales and other Detroit-area towns are moving the same way. A statewide ban passed the House in March 2026 and has sat in a Senate committee ever since.

Legal on our map: kratom can be sold and possessed by adults with no state-level restriction on the plant itself. Local ordinances may still apply in some counties or cities.

What’s changing

Plymouth Township holds its final vote on a township-wide sales ban on October 27, 2026. HB 5537 remains in the Senate Government Operations Committee.

Full legal detail

Kratom is currently legal in Michigan. House Bill 5537 would prohibit growing, synthesizing, importing, distributing, and selling kratom statewide, including synthetic 7-OH, with a first offense up to 90 days jail and a $5,000 fine and selling to a minor up to one year and $10,000. The bill passed the Michigan House 56-48 on March 18, 2026, but was only referred to the Senate Government Operations Committee on March 24, 2026 and has remained there since. As of August 1, 2026 no Senate hearing has been scheduled, the bill has not reached the Senate floor, and it has not gone to the Governor. Sterling Heights banned the sale and distribution of kratom, natural and synthetic, effective in June 2026, and on October 13, 2026 the Plymouth Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously to advance a township-wide sales ban, with a final vote set for October 27.

Local exceptions. Sterling Heights bans the sale and distribution of kratom, natural and synthetic, under an ordinance in effect since June 2026. Plymouth Township advanced a township-wide sales ban on October 13, 2026, with a final vote set for October 27. Statewide ban bill HB 5537 is stalled in Senate committee.
