Is Kratom Legal in Connecticut?

No. Kratom has been a Schedule I controlled substance in Connecticut since March 25, 2026. The listing covers Mitragyna speciosa, including its leaves, stem and any extracts, plus 7-OH, so possessing, making, selling or distributing any kratom product is illegal statewide. The Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) rejected requests to exempt natural leaf.

What changed recently

  1. Public Act 25-101 was enacted, per LAPPA. Section 4(i) directed DCP to schedule kratom and 7-OH. A CT Mirror op-ed tied the language to HB 6855, which was not confirmed.
  2. DCP posted proposed regulation PR2025-018. Comments ran through October 20, 2025, with a hearing on October 15.
  3. DCP answered public comments and declined to leave kratom unscheduled or to treat natural leaf differently.
  4. The Legislative Regulation Review Committee unanimously approved the regulation (Reg. 2026-003).
  5. DCP, the Attorney General, DESPP and DMHAS announced the effective date. Retailers were told to pull products, and the Attorney General mailed compliance letters to known distributors and manufacturers.
  6. The Schedule I listing of kratom and 7-OH took effect.
  7. Federal: DEA published a notice of intent to temporarily schedule 7-OH and MP above a set threshold.

The Connecticut rules in detail

What the Schedule I listing covers

The regulation (Regs. Conn. State Agencies Sec. 21a-243-7(c)) lists “Mitragyna speciosa (kratom), including its leaves, stem and any extracts” and 7-hydroxymitragynine. In the proposed text these were items 44 and 47; the final numbering was not confirmed. The same update scheduled bromazolam, flubromazolam, nitazenes, tianeptine and phenibut.

The wording suggests every form is covered, including whole plants, incense and products labeled not for human consumption. That reading has not been confirmed.

No leaf, age or dose exception

There is no 7-OH threshold, no natural-leaf carve-out and no adult-use exception. Earlier 2025 bills that would have set a 21+ age (HB 5427 and SB 706) or ordered a health department study (SB 263) were superseded by the scheduling.

What the state told retailers

Before March 25, 2026, DCP told retailers to remove kratom products immediately and either return them to wholesalers or destroy them. The Attorney General sent compliance letters to every known kratom distributor and manufacturer.

Could the listing change?

DCP says the law lets it reschedule these substances if research shows a medical purpose. No 2026 bill to reverse or narrow the scheduling was found, though the search was not exhaustive. Compare neighboring states on our kratom laws by state page.

Enforcement and penalties

DCP’s Drug Control Division, the Attorney General and police share enforcement. State Police said on March 23, 2026 that people who ignore the law should expect enforcement action, including arrest and prosecution. Penalties follow Connecticut’s general controlled substance laws. Neither DCP nor the press releases give fine or sentence figures, and this research did not confirm which penalty sections apply, so ask Connecticut counsel.

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 any kratom or 7-OH product to a Connecticut address.
  2. Screen ship-to addresses on direct, marketplace and drop-ship orders.
  3. Do not treat raw leaf, live plants or 'not for consumption' labels as outside the listing.
  4. Get Connecticut counsel before accepting returns of product from Connecticut retailers.
  5. Recheck after the next legislative session and watch for any DCP rescheduling notice.
