Kratom remains legal at the state level in New Mexico, but local municipal health actions and regulatory warnings are active
within the state.

Statewide Legal Status

The New Mexico Attorney General has issued public consumer advisories regarding unverified claims and product purity, though no statewide ban accompanied the warning.

Plain leaf kratom and kratom products can legally be bought, sold, and possessed throughout New Mexico.

There is no current statewide ban or active state legislation scheduling kratom as a controlled substance.
