Kratom Legal Status in Montana
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is legal to buy, sell, and possess in Montana. 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 Montana law. Residents can purchase kratom products at retail locations and online without violating any state statute.
Montana has not adopted a Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), which means there are no state-mandated labeling standards, product testing requirements, or age minimums specific to kratom. Several other states have passed KCPA legislation to set quality and safety benchmarks for kratom products. The American Kratom Association (AKA) continues to advocate for consumer protection frameworks in states that have not yet adopted them, including Montana.
As of the April 2026 update, no active ban or restriction legislation is pending in the Montana Legislature. At the federal level, kratom is not a controlled substance. The FDA has issued import alerts and advisories regarding kratom but has not pursued scheduling. Consumers in Montana should remain aware that local municipalities could theoretically enact their own ordinances, though no city or county in the state has done so to date.

Age and Purchase Requirements
Montana does not impose a state-level minimum age for purchasing kratom. Federal law also does not set a minimum age for kratom sales. However, many responsible retailers voluntarily enforce an 18+ or 21+ policy at the point of sale. Consumers should expect to show identification at some retail locations and online vendors even though it is not a legal requirement in Montana.

Kratom is not a federally 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 consumer advisories but has not scheduled kratom. 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 Montana. It can also be ordered online from vendors like Amazing Botanicals that publish third-party lab results.

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