An Act concerning the regulation of kratom

HD 1049 regulates kratom products sold in Massachusetts. It requires kratom retailers to provide clear labels listing the manufacturer, full ingredients, and safe usage directions. The bill bans selling kratom products adulterated or contaminated with dangerous substances (including controlled substances), products exceeding 2% 7-hydroxymitragynine alkaloid, or those containing synthetic kratom compounds. Retailers face fines up to $5,000 for violations, including $1,000 for first-time sales to minors under 18. The Department of Public Health will establish safety testing standards for enforcement.
