What States Require ID Verification for Kratom and Delta Cannabis Purchases?

While many states have regulations restricting kratom consumption by age, some are enforcing strict ID verification rules not only for in-person purchases but online sales as well.
In fact, some of these states also threaten criminal charges with potential jail time and expensive fines for failing to verify ID, which is why reputable brands like ShopKetum.com require IDs if you purchase from these states.
