District of Columbia Kratom Legal Status Update
Kratom's psychoactive components (7-hydroxymitragynine) are controlled substances in the District of Columbia, effective March 2016.
The Legislative Analysis and Public Policy Association reports, updated as recently as April 2025, clearly state that 7-hydroxymitragynine (a psychoactive component of Kratom) is a Schedule I controlled substance in D.C. This makes Kratom effectively 'BANNED' despite some general statements of legality, as the components are controlled.
