Health Canada is the Canadian federal department responsible for national health policy and the regulation of drugs, foods, and natural health products. It decides how a substance may be marketed and whether it requires a license to sell.
Health Canada has not authorized kratom for ingestion, which limits how it can be sold in Canada. For more on cross-border status, see Kratom Legality.
