Savannah (/səˈvænə/) is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia and is the county seat of Chatham County. Established in 1733 on the Savannah River, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia. A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War, Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is Georgia’s fifth-largest city, with a 2018 estimated population of 145,862. The Savannah metropolitan area, Georgia’s third-largest, had an estimated population of 389,494 in 2018.
Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings. These buildings include the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South’s first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third-oldest synagogue in the U.S.), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in the U.S.).
Savannah’s downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
This post is created for individuals that might be traveling to Savannah, and not certain of the legal status of kratom (mitragyna speciosa) within it’s city limits. As mentioned before, the legal status of kratom in Georgia is well documented here. It’s important to verify that kratom is, in fact, legal when you are traveling. Lest you wind up somewhere like Alabama, and wind up on the wrong side of the law. To avoid a situation like that, we keep up to date with the ongoing legal changes from local and regional to state, national as well as international legislation regarding the plant, kratom, and all it’s by products.

It doesn’t matter what suburb or neighborhood that you are from – if you live in the Savannah area, then it is legal to buy, possess and sell kratom without any fear of repercussion. We recommend buying from kratom in a place that is well lit, and well trafficked so as to not put oneself in a position that might be compromising. There are a variety of well established head shop and smoke shops in the Savannah area that will be able to facilitate that need. Additionally, there are several online e-commerce kratom vendors based in Savannah that can also accommodate one, perhaps more conveniently so as they deliver to you.
