Is Kratom Legal in Iowa in 2024?

Iowa is one of the nation’s largest producers of corn. Most of the corn is used to make ethanol or feed hungry hogs. Interestingly, hogs outnumber people in Iowa four to one! If you live in Iowa or are planning a visit, you’ll be happy to know that in 2023 Kratom is currently legal here.

Is Kratom legal in Iowa?

While Kratom is legal in Iowa, its legality hasn’t come without challenges. In early 2014, legislators tried to pass House Bill 2455, which proposed criminalizing Kratom. The bill would have classified Kratom as a Schedule 1 drug. However, a petition co-sponsored by the advocacy group, Change.org, galvanized supporters of Kratom, and the bill was defeated. So, for now, Kratom is completely legal throughout the state, and there are no limitations.

History of Kratom legislation

Kratom is legal at the federal level. However, states can make their legislation because the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate it. Six states—Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin—currently ban Kratom. Four other states – Arizona, Illinois, New Hampshire and Tennessee – restrict its sale and use by minors but leave the substance largely unregulated. Georgia, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah regulate Kratom to ensure its purity and safe use. The remaining states, like Iowa, leave Kratom unregulated. So, for now, Kratom is completely legal throughout the state, and there are no limitations.

How to buy Kratom in Iowa

Iowa, like most states in the U.S., has a significant population who enjoy the benefits of Kratom. That popularity became evident when Iowans rallied to overturn the ban on Kratom in 2014. As a result, you can find Kratom in vape shops, smoke shops, and specialty stores throughout the state. However, for purity, freshness, and the ability to choose from a wider variety of products, Kratom aficionados prefer shopping online. While there are many online companies to choose from, go with a company with a strong history of serving the Kratom community. Since 2017, Kingdom Kratom has been providing quality Kratom to a passionate customer base. Offering full money-back guarantees and fast delivery, Kingdom Kratom strives to be your go-to source for all things Kratom.

Kratom advocacy in Iowa

The American Kratom Association (AKA) is a non-profit advocacy group established in 2014, committed to preserving and protecting the freedom of Kratom or Mitragyna Speciosa. Also, it advocates for regulation to ensure Kratom quality and also for research on the benefits of Kratom. The AKA continues to work tirelessly to have Kratom legal in every state. You can help in that effort by joining the AKA as a “protector” of Kratom. You’ll receive notification of any laws changes and advocacy needed. Join the email list here.
