Yes. Kratom is legal to buy, possess, and use across Maine. The state has neither banned kratom nor adopted a dedicated consumer-protection statute, leaving it legal and lightly regulated.

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 Maine. See our 7-OH scheduling explainer.
