Kratom Laws in Rhode Island

Kratom is legal but tightly regulated under the Rhode Island Kratom Act, effective April 1, 2026. Sellers need a license; kratom may not be sold or given to anyone under 21, photo ID is required for every purchase, and products must be kept behind the counter. Banned products include kratom foods and drinks, vape or injectable forms, products with synthetic alkaloids, candy-like products, and products above set mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine limits; labels must carry health warnings. Violations bring Department of Health fines of up to $1,000 (first) and $2,000 (second), license revocation on a third violation, and a $5,000 fine for selling without a license.
