The Detail

What the current New Jersey rules actually say.

Kratom is currently legal in New Jersey, but restrictive legislation is advancing. Senate Bill S-301 targets 7-OH specifically — passed the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee 8-0 on March 16, 2026 and is now pending in the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee with no further action through early May 2026. If enacted, manufacturing or distributing 7-OH of 1 oz or more would be a 2nd degree crime; less than 1 oz would be a 3rd degree crime. Natural leaf may remain legal. A separate KCPA bill, A4222, has also been introduced.

Local exceptions: None currently in effect — monitor for 7-OH product restrictions.
