Is Kratom Legal in Alabama?

Kratom is not lawful to sell in Alabama. Mitragynine and hydroxymitragynine are both listed in Schedule I of the state's controlled substances law, and in 2026 the Attorney General and the state law enforcement agency moved to enforce that statewide, including raids on wholesale warehouses. Kratom.One does not accept orders shipping to Alabama.

The Alabama rules in detail

What the statute lists

Alabama’s Schedule I includes mitragynine (item 322) and hydroxymitragynine (item 323) in Ala. Code 20-2-23. Because the compounds themselves are scheduled, kratom products containing them are covered. The statute does not name the 7-position of hydroxymitragynine, so the plain wording “hydroxymitragynine” is what the law says.

No regulated market

Alabama has no age-gated sales regime, labeling rules, alkaloid cap or seller license for kratom, because the substance is prohibited. There is nothing to comply into. Sellers cannot make a lab report, a disclaimer or a 21-and-over gate turn an Alabama sale into a lawful one.

How the state describes enforcement

The Attorney General’s 2026 order cites the controlled substances law, the seizure and forfeiture provision (Ala. Code 20-2-93) and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (Ala. Code 8-19-1 et seq.). State releases warn of seizure and forfeiture, felony prosecution and civil liability. The Department of Forensic Sciences tests seized products.

Enforcement and penalties

State releases describe seizure, forfeiture, felony prosecution and civil liability for sellers. We did not confirm the felony classes or sentence ranges from a primary source, so this page does not state them. Ask Alabama counsel for the current exposure before any decision involving Alabama.

Federal context

Federal rules sit on top of state law. As of the sources we reviewed on October 18, 2026, DEA had temporarily scheduled mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16 (effective August 26, 2026). On October 14, 2026 it published a notice of intent to temporarily schedule 7-OH and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl above a threshold (more than 1 mg per gram or per mL, or less than 100 times as much mitragynine as 7-OH); that order cannot take effect before about November 13, 2026. DEA has said its action does not override stricter state law. Check the Federal Register for anything newer, and see our overview of kratom laws for sellers for the federal background.

What this means for sellers

  1. Do not ship kratom into Alabama, and do not sell to buyers who plan to resell there.
  2. If you operate in Alabama today, get Alabama criminal defense or regulatory counsel before anything else.
  3. Screen ship-to addresses and reseller customer lists for Alabama locations.
  4. Do not rely on a hemp, botanical or "not for human consumption" label as protection.
  5. Recheck the law each year, including after the 2027 legislative session.
