About This Event
Rhode Island had banned kratom since 2017. The Rhode Island Kratom Act, effective April 1, 2026, allows for licensed sale and manufacture of kratom products to individuals 21 and older, subject to specific labeling, packaging, and purity standards (e.g., no more than 1 mg of 7-hydroxymitragynine per serving). This change moves the state from a previously banned status to a regulated legal status, thus representing a change from the database's 'LEGAL' (implying unregulated) to 'RESTRICTED'.
