Is Kratom legal in Spain?
- Legal status
- Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is not controlled in Spain — it is absent from the AEMPS narcotic and psychotropic lists, and neither mitragynine nor 7-hydroxymitragynine appears on them; it is legal to possess but cannot be marketed for human consumption.
- Consequences if caught
- No drug-law penalty for personal possession; marketing it for human consumption is restricted under food and consumer-safety rules.
- If prescribed or medical
- Not a scheduled medicine — no prescription requirement; it is not an AEMPS-authorised product.
- Documentation
- Personal possession is not a controlled-substance offence; carry a reasonable personal quantity.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Spain’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
