Kratom Legal Status in Maine
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is legal to buy, sell, and possess in Maine. The state has not enacted any legislation to ban kratom, and its primary alkaloids — mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine — are not classified as controlled substances under Maine law. Kratom remains available statewide without restriction.
Maine has not adopted a Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), which means there are no state-level requirements for product labeling, third-party testing, or age verification specific to kratom. Several other states have passed KCPA legislation to set quality and safety standards for kratom products, and the American Kratom Association continues to advocate for similar protections nationwide. Without a KCPA, consumers in Maine should take extra care to verify product quality by choosing vendors that publish third-party lab results.
As of this update, no active ban or restriction legislation is pending in the Maine Legislature. Consumers should also be aware that no cities or counties in Maine have enacted local kratom ordinances. However, local rules can change independently of state law, so residents may wish to confirm with municipal authorities if they have concerns.

At the federal level, kratom is not a controlled substance. The FDA has issued import alerts and consumer advisories regarding kratom but has not scheduled it. The DEA considered scheduling kratom in 2016 but withdrew that proposal after significant public comment.
Age and Purchase Requirements
Maine does not impose a state-level minimum age for purchasing kratom. Federal law likewise does not set an age floor for kratom sales. In practice, many responsible retailers voluntarily enforce an 18+ or 21+ policy at the point of sale, and most reputable online vendors require buyers to confirm they are at least 18 years old before completing an order.
Because Maine lacks a KCPA, there are no mandatory labeling or packaging standards. Consumers are encouraged to purchase from vendors that provide Certificates of Analysis (COAs) from independent, ISO-accredited laboratories to ensure product purity and accurate alkaloid content.

Is 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) legal in Maine?
NO STATE 7-OH LAW
No state 7-OH statute.
No 7-OH-specific state statute. Pending federal scheduling would be the operative restriction.
Federal status: 7-OH is not yet federally scheduled, but the DEA filed notices of intent on July 1, 2026 and a temporary Schedule I order is expected on or after August 5, 2026, effective the day it publishes. That will apply in Maine regardless of state law.
