Is Kratom Legal in Wisconsin? Why It's Banned
Last updated: July 2026 · Written by the Kingdom Kratom team
Quick answer: No — kratom is illegal in Wisconsin. The state lists kratom's alkaloids as Schedule I controlled substances under Wis. Stat. 961.14, and this has been the case for years. Wisconsin is one of a small number of full-ban states.
Is kratom legal in Wisconsin right now?
No. Wisconsin scheduled mitragynine and related kratom alkaloids as Schedule I controlled substances under Wis. Stat. 961.14. This is a long-standing ban that predates the recent wave of state kratom laws elsewhere. Both the leaf and its derivatives are covered, so kratom can't be legally bought, sold, or possessed in Wisconsin.
The DEA's July 2026 7-OH decision (national context)
Federally, kratom leaf is still legal. 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. Wisconsin's state ban is far broader than the federal action. See our 7-OH scheduling explainer.
Can you buy kratom in Wisconsin?
No — kratom can't be legally sold in Wisconsin, and we do not ship there. If you'd like Wisconsin to adopt a regulated framework instead of a ban, the American Kratom Association organizes consumer advocacy. See where other states stand in our state-by-state legality guides.
