Email AlertsCurrent Status
Kratom is currently legal in New Jersey with no statewide ban in effect. While legislative efforts have been introduced, such as Senate Bill 1384 to create a Kratom Consumer Protection Act and Assembly Bill 5129 ('CJ's Law') to criminalize it, neither has been enacted into law.
New Jersey legislative records show that Senate Bill 1384, aiming to create a Kratom Consumer Protection Act, was 'Introduced in the Senate' and 'Referred to Senate Commerce Committee' on January 13, 2026, indicating it is not yet enacted. Additionally, Assembly Bill 5129, proposing to criminalize kratom, is listed with a status of 'Introduced - Dead' as of December 18, 2025. Official legislative text from the New Jersey Legislature regarding a bill to classify 7-hydroxymitragynine states that the substance 'is not presently barred by New Jersey law' as of its introduction. This confirms that no statewide ban or comprehensive regulation has been enacted, meaning kratom remains generally legal.
