Regulated

Last checked June 5, 2026 · Sources checked: LAPPA state-law summary, AKA state tracker, and linked state sources

Kratom is legal to buy and possess in Mississippi for adults 21 and older. State law restricts sales to people under 21, requires sellers to register with the Department of Revenue, caps 7-hydroxymitragynine in kratom products, sets labeling requirements, and applies an excise tax. Local governments that restricted kratom before July 2025 keep that authority.

KCPA adopted: Yes
Age restriction: 21+
