Quick answer: Yes — kratom is legal in Massachusetts. It is not a controlled substance, and there's no statewide ban. A ban bill (S. 1558) remained pending in 2026 but has not become law, so Massachusetts stays a legal, largely unregulated state.

Is kratom legal in Massachusetts right now?

Yes. Kratom is legal to buy, possess, and use throughout Massachusetts. A bill to ban it (S. 1558) has been pending with extended reporting deadlines, but it has not passed, so nothing has changed for consumers. Massachusetts remains 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 Massachusetts. See our 7-OH scheduling explainer.
