Kratom Legal Status in Hawaii
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is legal to buy, sell, and possess in Hawaii. The state has not enacted any legislation to ban or restrict kratom, and its primary alkaloids — mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine — are not classified as controlled substances under Hawaii Revised Statutes. As of the April 2026 update, no active ban legislation is pending in the Hawaii State Legislature.
Hawaii has not adopted a Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), the model legislation promoted by the American Kratom Association (AKA) that establishes product-quality standards, labeling requirements, and age minimums. Without a KCPA, there are no state-mandated testing, labeling, or manufacturing standards specific to kratom products sold in Hawaii. Consumers should look for vendors that voluntarily publish third-party lab results and Certificates of Analysis (COAs).
At the federal level, kratom is not a scheduled controlled substance. The FDA has issued import alerts and warning letters to certain kratom vendors but has not pursued a federal ban. No city or county in Hawaii has enacted a local kratom ordinance, so the product remains legal throughout the entire state.

Age and Purchase Requirements
Hawaii does not impose a state-level minimum age for purchasing kratom. Federal law is also silent on a kratom age requirement. However, many responsible retailers — both in-store and online — voluntarily enforce an 18+ or 21+ purchase policy. Adults in Hawaii can legally buy kratom without presenting identification under state law, though individual vendors may set their own policies.
If Hawaii were to adopt a KCPA in the future, it would likely include a minimum purchase age of 21, consistent with the model legislation enacted in other states. Until then, age enforcement remains at the discretion of individual retailers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Kratom is fully legal to buy, sell, and possess in Hawaii, with no state or local bans in effect.
Hawaii has no state-mandated minimum age for kratom purchases, and federal law does not set one either. Many retailers voluntarily enforce an 18+ or 21+ policy.
As of April 2026, no active ban or KCPA legislation has been introduced in the Hawaii State Legislature. This page updates when new bills are filed. Current bill activity can be verified on capitol.hawaii.gov.
Kratom is not a federally scheduled controlled substance. Some kratom-derived compounds are federally controlled, though: mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16 have been temporary Schedule I substances since August 26, 2026, and a revised DEA order covering concentrated 7-OH can take effect on or after November 13, 2026. The FDA has issued import alerts and warning letters to certain vendors but has not pursued scheduling. The DEA considered scheduling kratom in 2016 but withdrew that notice after public comment.
Kratom is available at smoke shops, vape stores, and herbal retailers across Hawaii, as well as from online vendors like Amazing Botanicals. Always verify that the vendor publishes third-party lab results.

Is 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) legal in Hawaii?
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 Hawaii regardless of state law.
