Kratom Legal Status in Georgia
Georgia enacted its Kratom Consumer Protection Act through Senate Bill 309 (SB 309), establishing one of the most comprehensive kratom regulatory frameworks in the country. The KCPA provides consumer protections while keeping kratom legal and accessible throughout the state.
Key provisions of Georgia’s KCPA include:
- Age verification: Retailers must verify that purchasers are at least 18 years old before completing a sale.
- Labeling requirements: All kratom products must include proper ingredient lists, serving sizes, manufacturer information, and alkaloid content — specifically mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine concentrations.
- Adulteration prohibition: Selling kratom products containing synthetic additives, dangerous non-kratom substances, or controlled substances is prohibited.
- Minor protection: Products may not be marketed, packaged, or sold in a manner that targets minors.
The KCPA framework ensures that consumers in Georgia have access to properly tested and labeled kratom products. Georgia joins a growing number of states — including Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and others — that have adopted similar KCPA legislation.

Pending Legislation: HB968
As of the April 2026 update, Georgia residents should monitor HB968, a bill introduced in the 2025–2026 legislative session. HB968 would classify mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) as Schedule I controlled substances, which would effectively reverse the KCPA and ban kratom in Georgia. As of March 6, 2026, HB968 has been favorably reported by substitute from a House committee, meaning it has advanced but has not been passed into law. The legislative watch widget above tracks this bill’s progress in real time.
Until and unless HB968 or similar legislation is signed into law, kratom remains fully legal and regulated under the existing KCPA framework statewide.
Age and Purchase Requirements
Under Georgia’s KCPA (SB 309), the minimum age to purchase kratom is 18 years old. Retailers — both brick-and-mortar and online vendors shipping to Georgia — are required to verify the buyer’s age before completing a transaction. Selling kratom to anyone under 18 is a violation of the KCPA.
In addition to age verification, retailers must ensure that all kratom products on their shelves comply with the KCPA’s labeling and quality standards. Products that are mislabeled, adulterated, or contain undisclosed synthetic substances are prohibited from sale. Consumers who encounter non-compliant products may report them to state authorities.
