Connecticut Kratom Legal Status Update

Kratom became banned in Connecticut as of 2025 after Public Act 25-101 (HB 6855) was signed, allowing the Department of Consumer Protection to classify kratom as a Schedule I controlled substance. Proposed regulations to designate kratom as a Schedule 1 controlled substance had a public hearing in October 2025, solidifying the ban's implementation.

Multiple reputable sources from 2025 and 2026, including legislative news and legal summaries, confirm that legislation passed in 2025 allowing the Department of Consumer Protection to schedule kratom as a Schedule I controlled substance. One source from January 2026 explicitly states it is now banned, following public hearings in October 2025. This is a clear change from the previously listed 'LEGAL' status.
