What the record says

UPDATED (7/6/2026): Mitragynine is now DIRECTLY NAMED on KS Schedule I at 65-4105(b)(42) via SB 430 (signed 4/10/2026, eff. 7/1/2026), in addition to 7-OH at (b)(32) via HB 2365. Whole-leaf kratom is therefore contraband directly (mitragynine named), not merely interpretively via trace 7-OH. Prior note ("mitragynine NOT named") is superseded.

Controlling language, verbatim

K.S.A. 65-4105(b) Schedule I opiates now include both (32) 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) [HB 2365] and (42) Mitragynine [SB 430]. No concentration threshold or plant-material exemption.

Federal posture

Not federally scheduled. Kratom leaf / mitragynine not federally scheduled; DEA 7-OH re-notice (Nov 13+) reaches extracts under 100:1 mitragynine to 7-OH Federal detail

Pending deadlines

• 2026-11-13 · Federal · DEA 7-OH threshold order would reach kratom extracts under 100:1 mitragynine to 7-OH (DEA-1570 / FR 2026-20943)
  On or after Nov 13, 2026: kratom products whose mitragynine is less than 100 times their 7-OH (or 7-OH plus pseudoindoxyl), or above 1 mg/g or 1 mg/mL of those, would be Schedule I. Plain leaf and typical extracts sit above 100:1; enhanced 7-OH kratom does not. Kratom leaf and mitragynine are not scheduled.
