Quick answer: Yes — kratom is legal in North Dakota. It is not a controlled substance, and there's no statewide ban. North Dakota hasn't passed a dedicated Kratom Consumer Protection Act, so it's a legal but largely unregulated market.

Is kratom legal in North Dakota right now?

Yes. Kratom is legal to buy, possess, and use throughout North Dakota. The state has neither banned it nor adopted a dedicated consumer-protection law, so it 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 North Dakota. See our 7-OH scheduling explainer.
