The short answer

As of Oct 7, 2026, kratom is legal and regulated by a state kratom law in Georgia (O.C.G.A. § 16-13-122 (as described by Governor's Office of Consumer Protection)). Minimum age: 21. 7-OH: ≤150 mg mitragynine/serving; ≤0.5 mg 7-OH/g; ≤1 mg 7-OH/serving; no synthetics. One change in 2026: HB 968 (2026; would schedule mitragynine and 7-OH and repeal the KCPA) got a committee substitute but is not on the Governor's 2026 signed-legislation list — not enacted.

21+ only. Kratom is not approved by the FDA for any medical use, and nothing here is medical advice. This is a summary of the law, not legal advice; local rules can be stricter.
