Quick answer: Yes — kratom is legal in Washington State. It is not a controlled substance, and there is no statewide ban. Washington hasn't adopted a Kratom Consumer Protection Act, so it's a legal but largely unregulated market. 2026 proposals to regulate or tax kratom were not enacted.

Is kratom legal in Washington right now?

Yes. Kratom is legal to buy, possess, and use across Washington State. The 2026 legislative session weighed both a KCPA-style bill (SB 6287, which would have set a 7-OH cap, a 21+ age, and labeling rules) and kratom excise-tax proposals, but none were enacted before the session ended. So Washington remains legal and lightly regulated.

The DEA's July 2026 7-OH decision (national context)

On July 1, 2026, the DEA filed its intent to temporarily place concentrated and synthetic 7-OH into Schedule I, plus three related lab-made compounds (mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and MGM-16). The DEA said the action does not apply to natural kratom leaf below roughly 0.05% 7-OH by dry weight. The natural leaf Washingtonians can buy remains legal federally. See our 7-OH scheduling explainer.
