Is Kratom Legal in Nevada?
The Nevada Board of Pharmacy held a public hearing on April 16, 2026, to consider classifying kratom alkaloids, including 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, as Schedule I controlled substances, a move that would effectively ban these compounds and potentially all kratom products statewide.
The Nevada Board of Pharmacy conducted a hearing on April 16, 2026, to discuss the proposed classification of kratom alkaloids as Schedule I controlled substances. This action, outlined in LCB File No. R107-25, seeks to add 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl to Schedule I. Such a classification by the Board would bypass the legislative process and effectively ban natural kratom by placing its active compounds in the same category as substances with no accepted medical use. Nevada currently has a Kratom Consumer Protection Act in place that regulates kratom. The proposed scheduling by the Board represents a direct and recent governmental action that could change the state's status from 'RESTRICTED' to 'BANNED', thus the status is currently 'PENDING' for a ban.
