Kratom is currently legal in South Carolina. While some sources imply a Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), a recent source indicates the state is still considering such legislation, meaning it is not yet fully restricted.
The provided status was 'RESTRICTED'. While source [23] mentions South Carolina passing a KCPA, source [26] (May 2025) more recently states 'South Carolina: Considering a KCPA to Regulate Kratom Sales'. This implies a KCPA has not yet been fully enacted, and therefore, the state is currently 'LEGAL' (unregulated) rather than 'RESTRICTED' by a KCPA. Other sources also list it as simply 'legal'.
