California Kratom Legal Status Update
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is enforcing a statewide prohibition against the sale and manufacture of 'illegal and dangerous kratom products,' specifically those containing 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). The consumption of these products is deemed illegal, and licensees must remove them from shelves or face disciplinary action.
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, an official state agency, issued a notice declaring certain kratom products illegal for sale and human consumption statewide, effective January 15, 2026. This shifts the status from generally legal to restricted, targeting specific forms and derivatives like 7-OH, while not instituting a full ban on all kratom.
