South Carolina Kratom Legal Status Update

Source: legislation
Share:XLinkedIn

South Carolina transitioned from 'LEGAL' to 'RESTRICTED' with the enactment of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (Senate Bill 221), signed by Governor Henry McMaster in May 2025. This law prohibits sales to individuals under 21, mandates products be kept behind the counter, bans adulterated/synthetic products, and requires clear labeling.

Multiple news outlets and legislative tracking confirm the passage and signing of this comprehensive regulatory bill in 2025, which clearly introduces new statewide restrictions where none explicitly existed before.
