Kratom Legal Status in Missouri
Kratom is legal statewide in Missouri as of October 2026. The state has not enacted any legislation specifically banning or restricting kratom, and it remains available as an herbal product throughout the Show-Me State. No Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) has been signed into law, meaning Missouri does not currently impose state-level quality, labeling, or age requirements on kratom sales.
The 2026 legislative session saw four kratom bills in Missouri. Three moved in a restrictive direction, while one proposed consumer-protection regulation. None of them became law:
Restrictive bills: SB1605 in the Missouri Senate would have made 7-hydroxymitragynine in certain amounts a Schedule I controlled substance. It reached the Informal Calendar for Senate Bills for Perfection but did not become law. In the House, HB1614 would have added certain 7-OH products to the Schedule I controlled substances list, and HB3173 would have prohibited the possession and sale of certain mitragynine-derived products. Both House bills had action postponed and did not become law.
KCPA bill: SB927 would have regulated the sale of kratom in Missouri under a consumer-protection framework, with quality and labeling standards. The Senate Committee Substitute was voted “Do Pass” by the Senate Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence Committee, but the bill did not become law.
While the legislature did not act, the Missouri Attorney General reached settlements in 2026 that halted in-state sales of concentrated 7-OH products by several distributors. These settlements target concentrated 7-OH products, not natural kratom leaf. Consumers should monitor the legislative tracker above for status updates on future bills.
At the federal level, kratom is not a scheduled substance. The FDA has not approved kratom for medical use but has not moved to ban it. The kratom plant and mitragynine remain federally unscheduled, but the DEA temporarily placed mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16 in Schedule I effective August 26, 2026, and a revised temporary order covering 7-OH above a concentration threshold can take effect on or after November 13, 2026. Natural kratom remains legal under federal law, and Missouri has no statewide kratom restrictions, though some local rules apply (see below).
Age and Purchase Requirements
Missouri does not currently have a state-mandated minimum age for purchasing kratom. Without a KCPA or other regulatory framework in place, there is no legal age floor set by the state. Reputable vendors typically require customers to be at least 21 years old as a responsible business practice. In Kansas City, a local ordinance adopted in February 2026 sets a minimum age of 21 for kratom.
SB927, which would have established regulatory standards for kratom sales in Missouri, did not become law in 2026, so no statewide age requirement was created.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, kratom is legal to buy, sell, possess, and use throughout Missouri. No statewide kratom law was enacted in 2026. Kansas City banned 7-OH and set a 21+ age for kratom in February 2026, and Attorney General settlements halted in-state sales of concentrated 7-OH products by several distributors.
None became law. SB1605 would have scheduled certain concentrations of 7-hydroxymitragynine. HB1614 would have added certain 7-OH products to Schedule I. HB3173 would have prohibited possession and sale of certain mitragynine-derived products. SB927 would have regulated kratom sales under a KCPA framework.
No. These bills targeted specific kratom-derived compounds, particularly concentrated 7-hydroxymitragynine products, rather than all kratom leaf products, and none became law. SB1605 stalled on the Senate informal calendar, while HB1614 and HB3173 had action postponed in the House. Separately, Attorney General settlements in 2026 halted in-state sales of concentrated 7-OH products by several distributors.
SB927 would have established a Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) in Missouri, creating quality standards, labeling requirements, and potentially age restrictions for kratom sales. The bill’s Senate Committee Substitute was voted “Do Pass” by the Senate Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence Committee, but it did not become law in 2026.
Missouri does not have a state-mandated age requirement for kratom purchases. Most reputable vendors voluntarily require customers to be at least 21 years old. In Kansas City, a local ordinance sets a minimum age of 21 for kratom.

Is 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) legal in Missouri?
NO STATE 7-OH LAW
No state 7-OH statute. Kansas City bans 7-OH, and Attorney General settlements halted several distributors' 7-OH sales in 2026.
No 7-OH-specific state statute. Pending federal scheduling would be the operative restriction.
Federal status: 7-OH is not yet federally scheduled, but the DEA filed notices of intent on July 1, 2026 and a temporary Schedule I order is expected on or after August 5, 2026, effective the day it publishes. That will apply in Missouri regardless of state law.
