Kratom Legal Status in Wisconsin
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) has been illegal in Wisconsin since April 2014. The state banned kratom’s two primary active alkaloids — mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine — by adding them to the Schedule I controlled substances list through Senate Bill 325 (SB 325).
SB 325 was introduced during the 2013–2014 legislative session and amended Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 961, the state’s Controlled Substances Act. The bill was primarily aimed at synthetic drugs and designer substances that had emerged as public health concerns. Kratom’s alkaloids were included alongside various synthetic cannabinoids and other compounds, despite kratom being a natural botanical with a long history of traditional use in Southeast Asia.
Under Wisconsin law, Schedule I substances are defined as having a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. Because the ban specifically targets mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine — the alkaloids present in all kratom leaf material — the prohibition effectively covers all forms of kratom, including raw leaf, powder, capsules, and extracts. Both alkaloids are explicitly scheduled, meaning there is no gray area regarding which kratom products are covered.
Wisconsin is one of a small number of states that have banned kratom outright. The majority of U.S. states allow legal kratom use, and a growing number have enacted KCPA (Kratom Consumer Protection Act) legislation to regulate the market rather than prohibit it. As of the April 2026 update, no active bills in the Wisconsin legislature seek to legalize, decriminalize, or otherwise reverse the kratom ban. Residents can monitor the kratom legality hub for updates on any future legislative developments.
Penalties for Kratom in Wisconsin
Because mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine are classified as Schedule I controlled substances, penalties for kratom-related offenses in Wisconsin follow the state’s controlled substance laws under Chapter 961:
- First-offense possession of a Schedule I substance is a misdemeanor, carrying up to one year in county jail and/or fines up to $5,000.
- Subsequent possession offenses can be charged as felonies with significantly harsher penalties, including potential state prison time.
- Sale or distribution of a Schedule I substance is a felony offense carrying potential prison time and substantial fines.
- Manufacturing or possession with intent to distribute carries the most severe penalties under Wisconsin law.
