How to buy wholesale kratom

Is Kratom Legal in Alaska?

Yes. Kratom is legal in Alaska, and the state has no kratom law at all: no age limit, no label or testing rule, and no seller license. That could change. In March 2026 the state Controlled Substances Advisory Committee asked the Governor to place 7-OH and two related compounds in Schedule IIA, and in October 2026 the Anchorage Assembly took up a proposed ban on kratom and related products.

What changed recently

  1. No kratom, mitragynine or 7-OH bill was found in the 34th Legislature, per a secondary review of the session's drug bills.
  2. The Controlled Substances Advisory Committee (CSAC) wrote to Gov. Dunleavy recommending Schedule IIA for 7-OH, mitragynine pseudoindoxyl and MGM-15. The letter cites rising imports of refined kratom in Western Alaska.
  3. The Anchorage Daily News reported that the Anchorage Assembly would consider a ban on kratom and related products.
  4. Federal: DEA published a notice of intent to temporarily schedule 7-OH and MP above 1 mg/g (solids) or 1 mg/mL (liquids). MP, MGM-15 and MGM-16 have been temporarily Schedule I federally since August 26, 2026.
  5. The 2027 legislative session begins. It is the next chance for lawmakers to act on the CSAC recommendation.

The Alaska rules in detail

Alaska has no kratom statute

No Alaska law sets an age limit, label content, testing standard or license for kratom. Kratom, mitragynine and 7-OH are not named in the state controlled substance schedules (AS 11.71.140 to 11.71.190). That finding rests on two secondary reviews, LAPPA (January 2026) and RecordingLaw (October 2026). The schedule text itself was not re-read for this page.

7-OH: a recommendation, not a law

On March 31, 2026, CSAC asked the Governor to classify 7-OH, mitragynine pseudoindoxyl and MGM-15 (dihydro-7-hydroxy mitragynine) as Schedule IIA. It also suggested looking at future mitragynine derivatives. The letter sets no quantity thresholds and does not name the natural leaf.

The recommendation has no legal effect on its own. As of October 18, 2026, no source showed that it had been adopted. One secondary source argues 7-OH could already be treated as an opiate under Schedule IA if a court found it fit the definition in AS 11.71.900. That theory is untested and is not the law today.

Federal law still reaches Alaska

General state and federal food and drug adulteration law applies to kratom sold in Alaska, as does federal controlled substance law. MP, MGM-15 and MGM-16 have been temporarily Schedule I under federal law since August 26, 2026. DEA has also given notice that it plans to temporarily schedule 7-OH and MP above 1 mg/g or 1 mg/mL, or where the mitragynine ratio is below 100. That order cannot issue before about November 13, 2026.

Local rules and the next session

Without a state law, cities and boroughs can set their own rules. Anchorage is the only one found so far. No borough rules turned up for Mat-Su, Fairbanks North Star or Juneau, but that search was not exhaustive. See kratom laws for sellers for how local rules interact with state law.

Local rules inside Alaska

State law is not the whole picture. Cities and counties can add their own rules, and some already have.

  • Anchorage. The Assembly is considering a ban on kratom and related products, per an Anchorage Daily News report on October 7, 2026. The ordinance number, whether it covers all kratom or only 7-OH, the hearing date and the outcome could not be confirmed. Check the municipal code before shipping there.

Enforcement and penalties

No state agency regulates kratom in Alaska, and there is no kratom-specific penalty. If the CSAC recommendation is adopted, enforcement would run through the controlled substance law in AS 11.71, and the committee’s letter says distribution of the listed compounds would then be a felony. The letter gives no penalty figures, so ask Alaska counsel about exposure.

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.

Wholesale buyer checklist for Alaska

  1. Confirm the outcome of the Anchorage Assembly proposal before shipping to Anchorage addresses.
  2. Do not sell MP, MGM-15 or MGM-16 products; they are temporarily Schedule I under federal law.
  3. Get a lot-level lab report and check 7-OH and MP against the proposed federal 1 mg/g or 1 mg/mL threshold.
  4. Plan for 7-OH products to lose their Alaska market if the Schedule IIA recommendation becomes law.
  5. Set your own age policy, since Alaska law sets none.
  6. Track the 2027 session, starting January 2027, for any bill based on the CSAC letter.
  7. Check borough codes for Mat-Su, Fairbanks North Star and Juneau before large shipments.

Alaska kratom law FAQ

Is kratom legal in Alaska?

Yes. Alaska has no kratom statute, and kratom is not listed in the state controlled substance schedules. A state advisory committee has recommended scheduling 7-OH, so check for changes.

Is there a minimum age to buy kratom in Alaska?

No state law sets one. A city or borough could still adopt its own age rule.

Is 7-OH legal in Alaska?

It is not named in the state schedules as of October 18, 2026. On March 31, 2026, the Controlled Substances Advisory Committee recommended Schedule IIA for 7-OH, but that needs further action to become law.

No. The state has no testing rule and no registration or license for kratom sellers.

Is Anchorage banning kratom?

The Anchorage Assembly took up a proposed ban on kratom and related products in October 2026. Its scope and outcome were not confirmed, so check the municipal code.

How we verified this page

We checked the sources below on October 18, 2026. Where a primary source (a statute, bill text or agency release) was available we relied on it, and we say so when a detail comes from news coverage or a secondary summary.

What we have not confirmed yet
  • The Anchorage ordinance number, sponsor, scope, vote dates and outcome.
  • Whether the Governor or Legislature acted on the CSAC recommendation, including any bill for the 2027 session.
  • Whether the Attorney General can emergency-schedule substances already scheduled federally, such as MP and MGM-15/16, and whether any such rule was issued. None was found as of October 11, 2026.
  • The text of AS 11.71.140 to 11.71.190 was not re-read; the absence of kratom relies on LAPPA and RecordingLaw.
  • Whether HB 239 (ch. 9 SLA 2026) moved CSAC to a new department, which only a secondary source reports.
  • Borough rules in Mat-Su, Fairbanks North Star and Juneau, which were not fully searched.
