Quick answer: Yes — kratom is legal in Delaware. It is not a controlled substance, and there's no statewide ban. Delaware doesn't yet have a dedicated Kratom Consumer Protection Act, though a consumer-protection bill advanced in committee in 2026.

Is kratom legal in Delaware right now?

Yes. Kratom is legal to buy, possess, and use in Delaware. In spring 2026, a consumer-protection framework (HB 332) advanced in committee but was not enacted, so Delaware remains a legal, largely unregulated state. If HB 332 or a similar bill passes later, expect labeling and age rules like other KCPA states.

The DEA's July 2026 7-OH decision (national context)

On July 1, 2026, the DEA filed its intent to temporarily place concentrated and synthetic 7-OH into Schedule I, plus three related lab-made compounds (mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and MGM-16). The DEA said the action does not apply to natural kratom leaf below roughly 0.05% 7-OH by dry weight. Natural leaf remains legal federally and in Delaware. See our 7-OH scheduling explainer.
