Kratom laws in Memphis, Tennessee

Memphis follows Tennessee state law, which now bans kratom statewide under Matthew Davenport’s Law (HB 1649/Public Chapter 950) effective July 1, 2026. The law criminalizes possession, manufacture, sale, and delivery of all kratom products and 7-hydroxymitragynine, with no local Memphis carve-outs reported. Before this, natural kratom products were legal for adults 21+ under a regulatory framework, but that regime has been superseded by the full ban.

Because kratom is now illegal to sell or possess in Tennessee, gas stations, smoke shops, vape shops, and other retailers that previously carried kratom in Memphis are required to remove these products and no longer sell them.
