Full legal detail
What to watch: County-level discussions are ongoing. Check local ordinances.
Kratom is legal in Missouri with no statewide framework. Senate Bill 927, filed by Sen. Maggie Nurrenbern, would have set a 21+ age requirement, capped 7-OH content, banned combustible or vaporized kratom, prohibited child-appealing packaging, and required labeling and behind-the-counter storage; it received a Do Pass from the Senate committee but died when the legislature adjourned May 15, 2026. At the local level, Kansas City adopted an ordinance in February 2026 that bans synthetic 7-OH sales city-wide, restricts natural kratom sales to buyers 21 and over, and requires kratom sellers to hold a special city license, similar to alcohol and tobacco permits.
Local exceptions: Kansas City bans synthetic 7-OH sales, limits kratom sales to 21 and over, and requires sellers to hold a city kratom license under a February 2026 ordinance. Some county-level discussions ongoing; check local ordinances.
