Hawaii Kratom Legal Status Update
Hawaii, previously listed as 'LEGAL', has adopted a statewide Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) in 2023, with updates in 2024. This legislation introduces regulations on kratom products, including requirements for testing, labeling, and marketing. It also sets an age limit of 18 years for the purchase, sale, or possession of kratom. Attempts to pass further regulatory bills (HB717 and SB463) in the 2025 legislative session failed to advance.
Multiple sources confirm the implementation of a KCPA in Hawaii in 2023/2024, which moves the state from an unregulated 'LEGAL' status to a 'RESTRICTED' status with specific rules and age limits. While direct bill numbers for the 2023/2024 KCPA were not consistently available in snippets, the existence and effect of the act are well-documented. Efforts for further regulation in 2025 were unsuccessful.
