Kratom laws in New Orleans, Louisiana
Kratom is completely illegal in New Orleans under Louisiana’s statewide ban that took effect August 1, 2025 via SB 154/Act 41, which classifies kratom and its main alkaloids as Schedule I controlled substances. State law now criminalizes possession, manufacture, sale, and distribution of kratom products of any kind. No city ordinance can override this; all prior local regulations and age-gated sales frameworks have been superseded by the blanket state prohibition.
No legal retail kratom market exists in New Orleans. Former outlets such as smoke shops, gas stations, convenience stores, and specialty botanical retailers have removed kratom products from shelves due to the statewide criminal ban on selling or possessing kratom.
