About Compound Laws

Compound Laws answers one question for one compound in one jurisdiction, with the law itself: is this legal to sell here, under what instrument, as of when. It covers 50 states, the District of Columbia and federal law, and grows by request.

Who publishes it

Compound Laws is published by Compound Analytics. It grew out of the compliance tracking program that Joel Mackey built and ran for a national hemp and kratom retail network, where the same determinations, citations and verbatim texts were used to decide what could be sold in each state. The public site is that record, maintained in the open.

Corrections

Every row cites its sources and shows when it was last verified. If a page is wrong or out of date, write to corrections@compoundlaws.com with the page URL and, if you have it, the instrument. Corrections are logged on the row's change history and on the changes feed.

What this site is not

It is not legal advice and it never describes how to get around a law. It reports statutes, rules, orders and enforcement facts, and grades exposure where the record is unsettled. Read the methodology and the glossary for exactly what each label means.

Use the data

Every page has a JSON twin and the whole site is indexed for AI systems in llms.txt. See Data and API.

Compound Laws, published by Compound Analytics, reports the record: statutes verbatim, official citations, enforcement facts and verification dates. Nothing here is legal advice and nothing here describes how to get around a law. A jurisdiction with no verified row is reported as not yet verified, never as legal. Found an error?
