How Ohio got here
Ohio has no state-level restrictions on kratom. Kratom is federally legal and Ohio has not added it to its controlled-substance schedule. There is no state age restriction, though most retailers self-impose 18+ or 21+.
Where to buy in Ohio
Kratom is freely available throughout Ohio. Buy from AKA-GMP-certified brands at any smoke shop, vape shop, or online retailer. Most retailers require 18+ or 21+ as house policy. Ask to see the brand's Certificate of Analysis (COA) if you want to verify mitragynine content.
