Is Kratom Legal in Hawaii?

The Hawaii Kratom Consumer Protection Act (HB 717) became effective on January 1, 2026, establishing comprehensive regulations for kratom products. These regulations include requirements for registration with the Department of Health, third-party lab testing, and specific labeling. The act also prohibits selling kratom products that contain dangerous compounds, are appealing to children, or exceed specified alkaloid levels, and mandates warning labels for products, including a prohibition on sales to individuals under 18.

Hawaii's previous status was 'LEGAL' and largely unregulated. The enactment of the Hawaii Kratom Consumer Protection Act (HB 717) on January 1, 2026, introduces a comprehensive regulatory framework, including age restrictions, testing, and labeling requirements, thereby changing the legal status category to 'RESTRICTED'.
