Indiana's Kratom Ban
Indiana banned kratom in 2014 under the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act — classifying mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine as Schedule I controlled substances. Indiana's ban is among the most comprehensive in scope, explicitly scheduling the primary kratom alkaloids rather than the plant itself, which means extract products are also clearly prohibited. As of mid-2026, Indiana's ban remains in effect.
Purchase Note: This article covers a state where kratom sales are restricted. No vendor purchase links are included. Verify current local law before taking any action.
What Indiana's Ban Covers
Indiana's scheduling covers mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine specifically — the principal alkaloids of Mitragyna speciosa. This means kratom in any form (powder, capsules, extracts, gummies, shots) is covered under Indiana's prohibition. The plant-level scheduling approach makes the ban more legally comprehensive than bans that only restrict the plant without addressing its alkaloids.
Legislative Status
As of mid-2026, no Indiana legislation reversing or modifying the kratom ban has advanced. The American Kratom Association monitors Indiana as a target for KCPA-framework advocacy. Check americankratom.org for current legislative activity in Indiana.
🌿 Key Takeaway
Indiana banned kratom in 2014 by scheduling its primary alkaloids. Kratom in any form — powder, capsules, extracts — is illegal in Indiana. Do not purchase, possess, or transport kratom in Indiana.
