A kratom ban is a state or local law that prohibits the sale or possession of kratom within that jurisdiction. A small number of states ban kratom outright, and some cities or counties restrict it even where the state permits it.
Because there is no federal ban, legality is determined at the state and local level and can change with new legislation. Check current status on the Kratom Legality hub and the Legislation Tracker.
