The Attorney General has issued a public advisory to notify Coloradans of changes to state law governing kratom products following the passage of a new law earlier this year.

Kratom is a plant-derived substance that can have intoxicating effects when consumed. It is used both recreationally and for medical purposes like pain management, though it is not approved by the FDA for medical use.

During the 2025 legislative session, Colorado lawmakers passed Senate Bill 072, which prohibits the sale or distribution of kratom to individuals under 21 as well as products containing more than two percent 7-hydroxymitragynine, or 7OH, which is an alkaloid found in kratom that has opioid-like effects.

The law also requires distributors to label their products with disclosures about the potential health effects of kratom.

“Coloradans should know that newly passed changes to the law governing products that contain kratom leaf and kratom extract are in effect, giving consumers important new protections,” said Weiser. “The law institutes new requirements for manufacturers, gives consumers new information about these products, and protects kids. Consumers who believe that any products being sold in Colorado violate these new requirements should file a complaint with my office at StopFraudColorado.gov.”
