California Kratom Legal Status Update
| Bill | CDPH Consumer Warning (Oct 2025), Governor's Statement (March 2026) |
|---|---|
| Title | On March 3, 2026, Governor Newsom's office issued a press release stating that 'It is illegal to manufacture or sell kratom or 7-OH products for consumption at any age. That policy is — and remains — our most health-protective stance.' This follows a statewide consumer warning issued by the CDPH on October 24, 2025. This declaration from official government sources changes the status from 'RESTRICTED' (which implies regulation or local bans) to 'BANNED' for products intended for human consumption at the state level. |
