The rules

What the New Jersey rules actually say.

Kratom is legal in New Jersey, but a bill targeting 7-OH is moving. It would make manufacturing or distributing an ounce or more of 7-OH a second-degree crime. Natural leaf may stay legal.

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

A separate KCPA bill, A4222, has also been introduced.

Full legal detail

Kratom is currently legal in New Jersey, but restrictive legislation is advancing. Senate Bill S-301 targets 7-OH specifically. It 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.
