Arizona MGM-15 ban status: ban in force
Arizona's Kratom Consumer Protection Act bars a processor or retailer from preparing, distributing, selling or exposing for sale a kratom product containing any synthetic alkaloid, including synthetic mitragynine, synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine or any other synthetically derived compounds of the kratom plant (A.R.S. 36-795.02(A)(4)); violations are class 2 misdemeanors (36-795.03). "Kratom product" is defined as a food product or dietary ingredient containing any part of the leaf of Mitragyna speciosa (36-795(2)). The prohibition expressly reaches synthetically derived kratom alkaloids, but a tablet whose active ingredient is a semi-synthetic or synthetic derivative falls within it only if it is a kratom product under that leaf-based definition, so reach is definitional. MGM-15 (dihydro-7-hydroxymitragynine) is not named in A.R.S. Title 13 or Title 36. A.R.S. 36-2512(A) directs the Board of Pharmacy to adopt by rule the schedule I substances in 21 CFR 1308.11 and to amend the rules as necessary; this requires Board rulemaking, and R4-23-1004 as last read adopts the federal schedules as of its effective date with no later amendments, so the federal temporary listing is not shown to be adopted. No whole-plant ban or 7-OH scheduling exists in Arizona, and no general analog statute was found. HB 2415 (2026), which would have added synthetically derived kratom compounds to the A.R.S. 13-3401 narcotic drug definition, did not become law. Independently of this state row, the compound is federally Schedule I under the DEA temporary scheduling order (DEA-1644, FR Doc. 2026-17429, effective 2026-08-26 through 2028-08-26).
A. A processor or retailer may not prepare, distribute, sell or expose for sale any of the following: ... 4. A kratom product containing any synthetic alkaloid, including synthetic mitragynine, synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine or any other synthetically derived compounds of the kratom plant.
Among Arizona's 5 neighbors, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah are illegal, the same posture as Arizona.
