Will Kratom Show Up on a Drug Test? And What Can You Do About It?
Kratom’s popularity throughout the U.S. isn’t slowing down, but it’s also safe to say kratom...
View PostAlaska is the largest state by area, yet it ranks as the 48th least populated. Fortunately, “The Last Frontier” remains welcoming to the Mitragyna speciosa plant and its related products. To make it easier for you to obtain quality kratom, we’ve summarized key points regarding kratom legality in Alaska and provided additional information on how to buy quality kratom in the state.
Although kratom is fully legal in Alaska, it’s always good to have a handle on the laws throughout the United States. When traveling, it’s important to avoid carrying kratom into states where it’s prohibited.
States where kratom is prohibited:
States with local restrictions:
States with age restrictions:
Eleven states have adopted the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), establishing specific regulatory guidelines for kratom products. This regulation promotes product consistency, supports educational initiatives, enhances research into kratom’s potential benefits and risks, and helps eliminate unscrupulous vendors from the market.
Why do Golden Monk and the AKA advocate for regulations such as the KCPA? We support these provisions because they safeguard kratom users in several crucial ways, including:
Regulations enable rigorous quality assurance and safety measures, ensuring that kratom products remain pure and uncontaminated. This stringent quality control protects consumers from manufacturing lapses, guaranteeing that products are free from contaminants and adulterants.
The kratom community strongly supports increased scientific research and testing to deepen our understanding of kratom’s efficacy, recommended usage, and overall impact on users. While existing studies highlight its potential benefits, much of the available data is anecdotal. Advocating for more robust research could substantiate kratom’s safety and efficacy through empirical evidence.
By governing how kratom is marketed, consumers can make more informed purchasing decisions. Currently, buyers must navigate a complex landscape of vendor claims and independently ascertain the credibility and standards of each provider. Regulated marketing would ensure the availability of clearer, more reliable information, guiding consumers toward safer choices.
Additionally, Golden Monk endorses age restrictions on kratom sales, agreeing that it should be accessible only to adults over 18, in alignment with the commonly mandated provisions in KCPA laws.
Alaska offers a variety of brick-and-mortar kratom vendors, primarily located in major cities such as Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau. However, the best deals and highest quality kratom are often found online.
At Golden Monk, we meticulously test our products at every stage of the process—from the farm to our processing facilities, through manufacturing, and up to shipping and distribution. Our comprehensive third-party testing ensures that each product exceeds industry standards.
Golden Monk delivers top-quality kratom products through both brick-and-mortar shops in Alaska, as well as through our online shop.
Here are some of our most popular products in the state:

Kratom is a plant native to Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. For centuries, locals have used its leaves, which are reputed to offer benefits related to both relaxation and energy, depending on the strain and serving size.
Kratom’s legal status varies across the US. Some states have imposed bans or restrictions, while others, like Alaska, allow its use without regulation. Refer to the map above for more detailed information.
Kratom production involves drying the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree and grinding them into a fine powder. Some brands also manufacture kratom in liquid extracts and other forms.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) refers to FDA-enforced regulations that ensure dietary products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. Compliance with GMP is essential for kratom producers to ensure product safety, especially as kratom typically arrives in the U.S. in a raw form that may not meet established food safety standards.
When used responsibly, most kratom users do not experience adverse effects. However, depending on serving size and individual tolerance, potential effects of kratom use may include nausea, constipation, or dizziness.
While some individuals find that kratom promotes relaxation and aids sleep at certain serving amounts, its effects are subjective and can vary widely among users.
At Golden Monk, we take pride in being an audited member of the American Kratom Association cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) program. You can review our Certification of Analysis to understand better how we maintain consistent, high-quality standards in our manufacturing facilities.
