Suffolk County chose regulation over prohibition. After public hearings that drew dozens of speakers on both sides, the County Legislature voted unanimously to regulate kratom rather than ban it, and County Executive Ed Romaine signed the law on July 30, 2026, effective immediately. Sales are limited to ages 21 and up, only naturally derived kratom products are permitted and they must be third-party tested, synthetic versions are prohibited, and violations carry penalties up to $1,000 in fines or up to one year. Our products already meet the natural-leaf and lab-testing requirements, so orders to Suffolk County addresses continue normally. Neighboring Nassau County keeps its full ban.
