If you would like to help protect Kratom please look into the American Kratom Association. The AKA has organized the American Kratom Protectors. They are a national grassroots organization that will help lead the advocacy efforts as we fight state bans, share correct information about Kratom, and push passage of state and federal Kratom Consumer Protection Acts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is kratom legal in Colorado?
Yes, kratom is legal in Colorado for adults 21 and older under the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (SB22-120). The state regulates it as a herbal product, not a controlled substance. Three towns — Parker, Monument, and Greenwood Village — ban retail sales locally, and Denver requires "not for human consumption" labeling on every product.
How old do you have to be to buy kratom in Colorado?
You must be 21 or older to buy kratom in Colorado. State law requires retailers to check a government-issued photo ID before every sale. Selling kratom to anyone under 21 is a civil infraction carrying a $200 fine per violation under the Kratom Consumer Protection Act.
Where is kratom banned in Colorado?
Kratom retail sales are banned in three Colorado towns: Parker (since October 2019), Monument (since November 2019), and Greenwood Village. Possession remains legal in all three towns. Denver allows sales but requires a "not for human consumption" label on every kratom product sold at retail.
Is kratom a controlled substance in Colorado?

What changed with Colorado kratom law in 2025?
Senate Bill 25-072 tightened Colorado kratom regulations in 2025 by capping 7-hydroxymitragynine at 2% of total alkaloids, banning synthesized kratom alkaloids, and prohibiting candy-like, combustible, and vape kratom products. Violations carry civil penalties up to $20,000 under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
