Source review: October 6, 2026. This first edition explains Colorado’s 2025 state law and selected local records. Start here, then check the rules for your own address. This is not a complete municipality-by-municipality legal clearance.
What Colorado enacted
Senate Bill 25-072 became law on May 29, 2025. The legislature’s enacted summary restricts selling or marketing kratom products to people under 21, adulterated products, candy-like or child-appealing forms, and products intended for combustion or vaporization. It also restricts retail access by people under 21 and establishes labeling requirements.
The law prohibits manufacturing, packaging, labeling, or distributing products with synthetic or semi-synthetic kratom alkaloids, or with 7-hydroxymitragynine exceeding 2% of the product’s total alkaloid composition. That percentage refers to the alkaloid composition, not the package’s total weight. Read the enacted bill summary and signed act for the exact language.
What to look for on the label
The Colorado Attorney General’s August 13, 2025 advisory describes required processor identity, ingredients, age and pregnancy/breastfeeding cautions, consultation and medication-interaction warnings, a habit-forming disclosure, child-safety wording, and the required FDA disclaimer. Directions must include serving and package information and mitragynine and 7-OH amounts per serving. This is a reader’s overview, not a substitute for the full label requirements. Read the official advisory.
State rules are only one part of the answer
The Attorney General warns that local rules may be more restrictive. Check the relevant city or county before assuming that a product can be sold, served, or distributed there. We will add local entries when the current governing records are verified. An old ban list or a retailer’s shipping policy is not enough to establish today’s law.
Local records checked in this edition
Parker: The town’s published code, section 6.07.010, prohibits retail sale or offering for sale of kratom products intended for human consumption. This provision concerns retail sales; do not turn it into a broader possession claim. Read the code’s Kratom chapter. The town clerk’s code page notes quarterly updates, so also check newly adopted ordinances.
Aurora: The city says ordinance 2026-05 was approved March 9, 2026, and establishes a tobacco, kratom, and age-restricted hemp retailer license. Its guidance gives April 11, 2026 as the effective date for new-business distance restrictions, with application rollout information still described separately. Read Aurora’s current licensing and product guidance rather than assuming state rules are the only requirements.
Fort Morgan: Official March 3, 2026 council minutes record unanimous approval of ordinance 1333 concerning kratom use and possession. These minutes do not provide the full rule; we have not yet verified its scope or effective date and are not calling it a blanket ban. Read the meeting record.
Other places: Denver, Monument, Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, Fort Collins, and other jurisdictions still need a full current local review. A missing entry here means “not yet verified,” not “no restrictions.”
Questions or concerns
The advisory recommends checking labels and requesting a product’s certificate of analysis. Suspected violations can be reported through StopFraudColorado.gov. For a specific legal decision, consult qualified counsel.
