Kratom laws in San Jose, California

In California, the Department of Public Health declared foods, dietary supplements, and drugs containing kratom or 7-OH illegal to sell or manufacture for consumption effective October 24, 2025. This administrative action functions as a statewide commercial ban, and there is no separate San Jose ordinance carving out different rules. Personal possession is generally not treated as a controlled-substance crime, but retail sale for consumption is prohibited.

Because retail sale of kratom products for consumption is banned statewide, smoke shops, head shops, supplement stores, and other brick-and-mortar retailers in San Jose have removed kratom from shelves, and reputable online vendors avoid shipping kratom products into California.
