New Bill Proposal Would Ban All Kratom In Michigan
House Bill 5537 would prohibit kratom within the state
A bill recently introduced in Michigan would ban both the production and sale of kratom, a herbal extract available at gas stations, smoke shops, and more.
Last year, Rep. Cam Cavitt (R-Cheboygan) introduced a bill to regulate the substance and ban a potent derivative of kratom, 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). That bill was last referred for a second record in the House in November 2025.
The new bill, also sponsored by Cavitt, would take it a step further by fully banning kratom, not just the derivative.
House Bill 5537 would prohibit any “product containing any part of the plant Mitragyna speciose, whether growing or not; the leaves of that plant; any extract or resin from any part of that plant; and every compound, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of that plant or its leaves, seeds, or extracts.” This includes synthetic variants of kratom.
