Kratom is legal to buy and possess in Connecticut, but its status may change. State law directs the Commissioner of Consumer Protection to schedule mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine as controlled substances, and a proposed rule to do so was pending and not final as of early 2026. Readers should confirm current Connecticut law with official sources before relying on this summary.
