Kratom is not banned statewide in Colorado. Instead of a total ban, Colorado enacted comprehensive state regulations governing the manufacture, sale, and distribution of kratom products.

Statewide Regulation Framework

• Statutory Law: Under Colorado SB25-072 (the Daniel Bregger Act), natural botanical leaf kratom remains legal for adults aged 21 and older.
• Synthetic & Extract Restrictions: The law strictly prohibits the manufacture, distribution, or sale of synthesized/semi-synthesized alkaloids and caps 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) concentrations at a maximum of 2% of total alkaloid content.
• Consumer Protection Standards: Requires clear product labeling, mandatory third-party testing, and proper registration with state authorities.

Local Municipal Bans

Statewide legality does not override municipal prohibitions. Several Colorado municipalities enforce local bans or sale restrictions:

• Denver: Prohibits the sale of kratom for human consumption within city limits.
• Parker: Banned the sale and display of all kratom products within town limits.
• Monument: Enacted an ordinance prohibiting the sale, manufacture, and distribution of kratom.
• Greenwood Village: Enacted municipal restrictions prohibiting the sale of kratom products.
