Common questions
Is kratom legal in Connecticut?
Connecticut lists kratom, including its leaves, stem, and extracts, as a Schedule I controlled substance.
Can adults over 21 buy kratom in Connecticut?
No. Connecticut does not provide an ordinary adult retail exception, so age verification does not create a lawful consumer sale.
Is 7-hydroxymitragynine restricted separately?
Yes. R.C.S.A. § 21a-243-7(c)(44) separately lists 7-hydroxymitragynine in Schedule I.
Does a low-7-OH product qualify for Connecticut shipping?
No. Connecticut is excluded under the current Kratom Paradise shipping policy.
