Recent laws on Mitragyna Speciosa, common name Kratom, is a shrubby tree native to South-East Asia. It is in the biological Family Rubiaceae, which includes the coffee plant. It has been used for centuries in the region’s traditional medicine.

Pure Quality Kratom powders should not be the target of the drug enforcement administration or DEA. Kratom leaves are not the enemy. Adulterated kratom products are to blame.

kratom as a schedule 1 controlled substance is not effective and pure kratom products are not the problem in my opinion. Quality products that are lab tested should be available to those who need it.

We have been working with local governments to ensure that kratom stays legal in New Jersey and surrounding areas of the Northeast United States. We will update the kratom banned list from time to time. Please refer to the American Kratom Associations website for further information about changing kratom laws in your state.

The International Plant & Herbal Alliance is working towards kratom legality working together with American and International partners to overcome worldwide herbal challenges.

We are in the process of creating a kratom by speed chart which will enhance your kratom experience and help you understand how most types of kratom work in general. Everyone is different when it comes to kratom, so finding out what type of kratom works best for you personally will be up to your body’s individual chemistry.

Fair trade Kratom means that when we purchase our kratom directly from Indonesia and import it without any intermediaries, we have agreements with our farmers to set a FAIR Minimum price that we will pay them. Too much kratom is being sold to the US with absurd prices where farmers barely make a single US dollar for a kilo of dried leaves.

This kind of purchasing is not sustainable for the future of Kratom in the U.S. or Indonesia! We believe that every person involved in the Kratom process deserves a fair wage and to be treated with dignity! We will continue to collaborate with our Harvesters directly and make sure that their lives are better because of Kratom!

We are kratom!

If you want to buy kratom in North Jersey, South Jersey, or Central Jersey We have good news! Kratom is legal in the following counties in New Jersey for adults 21 and over:

Additionally, Thailand has recently reconsidered the status of some illegal substances, so kratom might not remain illegal. However, as the drug becomes more widely known, countries, counties, and cities that do not currently ban kratom may choose to do so at any point.

Update: In 2021, Thailand passed the updated Narcotics Act (No. 8) B.E. 2564 (2021), which removed kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) from the list of prohibited substances, eliminated kratom-related offenses on the basis that its consumption is part of traditional Thai cultural norms, and allowed possession and consumption.

We will be testing for additional kratom alkaloids as time goes on and make sure that everyone understands this wonderful plant (KRATOM) and how it works!
