Email AlertsCurrent Status
Washington's legal status for kratom is shifting towards restricted, with pending state-level legislation (SB 6287 and SB 6196) proposing age restrictions (under 21) and product labeling standards.
The Spokane City Council deferred a local ban as the state legislature is actively considering bills that would introduce statewide regulations, including an age restriction of under 21 for sales and labeling standards. This indicates a shift from purely 'LEGAL' to 'RESTRICTED' due to impending or actively discussed statewide controls.
