Statewide rule
Regulated — KCPA; specified derivatives are Schedule I
South Carolina regulates lawful kratom products and placed MGPI, MGM-15, MGM-16, and covered forms in Schedule I effective September 25, 2026.
The Kratom Consumer Protection Act's age, labeling, composition, and 7-OH rules remain the framework for lawful kratom products. A September 25 Department of Public Health order separately placed mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (MGPI), MGM-15, MGM-16, and specified isomers, esters, ethers, and salts in Schedule I under state controlled-substance law, prohibiting unauthorized possession, manufacture, and distribution. The order does not schedule botanical kratom leaf or mitragynine generally.
