How to buy wholesale kratom

Is Kratom Legal in Missouri?

Yes. Kratom is legal in Missouri, and no state statute regulates it as of October 18, 2026. That does not make it low risk. The Attorney General has used existing consumer-protection law to push several 7-OH and kratom-alkaloid sellers out of the state, and Kansas City has its own 21+ rule, a synthetic 7-OH ban and a $500 retail license.

What changed recently

  1. FDA sent a warning letter to Shaman Botanicals. DHSS issued a 7-OH health advisory the same year.
  2. Attorney General Catherine Hanaway sent civil investigative demands to six companies over 7-OH and kratom products. The probe was later described as covering 11 makers and sellers.
  3. The Senate Judiciary committee heard SB 927, a kratom regulation bill with a 2% 7-OH cap.
  4. Kansas City adopted an ordinance setting a 21+ age limit for natural kratom and banning synthetic 7-OH.
  5. A floor vote on SB 1605, which would have made 7-OH above 1,000 ppm a Schedule I substance, was blocked in the Senate.
  6. The Attorney General sued CBD American Shaman. A Jackson County judge denied a temporary restraining order in May.
  7. The Kansas City council voted to require a $500 kratom retail license.
  8. The session ended with no kratom law. SB 927, SB 1605 and HB 1614 all failed.
  9. Settlements with CBD American Shaman and Relax Relief Rejuvenate Trading LLC halted their Missouri 7-OH sales.
  10. Green Dragon signed an assurance of voluntary compliance barring its owners from Missouri businesses that sell 7-OH or other kratom products.
  11. Federal: DEA published a notice of intent to temporarily schedule 7-OH and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl above a set threshold. The order cannot issue before November 13, 2026.

The Missouri rules in detail

No state kratom statute

Missouri has no law or regulation written for kratom or 7-OH. Two 2026 bills would have created one. SB 927 proposed a 21+ limit, a 2% 7-OH cap, labels with warnings and serving size, behind-the-counter storage, and a ban on candy-like products and vapes. SB 1605 would have made 7-OH above 1,000 ppm dry weight a Schedule I substance. Both failed, along with HB 1614.

So there is no state minimum age, label rule, testing rule, alkaloid cap or license. General federal food and supplement rules still apply.

The Attorney General is enforcing anyway

The Attorney General’s office cites existing consumer-protection law, the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (RSMo ch. 407), as its basis. It has issued civil investigative demands that sought safety label information, filed lawsuits, and reached settlements. One settlement bars Relax Relief Rejuvenate Trading LLC from Missouri sales of 7-OH, MGM-15, mitragynine, mitragynine pseudoindoxyl and paynantheine. Another bars Green Dragon’s owners from any Missouri business selling 7-OH or other kratom products.

These are company-specific deals, not general rules. Whether the office views plain leaf products the same way is not clear. Reporting does not name the exact statute sections used.

7-OH and state drug scheduling

Missouri’s controlled substance schedule, 19 CSR 30-1.002, does not list mitragynine, 7-OH, mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 or MGM-16 in its posted text (last amended April 30, 2026). DHSS files an emergency amendment each fall, and the Missouri Independent reports DHSS would mirror any federal 7-OH order by emergency rule.

Federally, mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16 have been temporary Schedule I substances since August 26, 2026. DEA’s October 2026 notice covers 7-OH and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl above 1 mg/g in solids or 1 mg/mL in liquids, or a mitragynine-to-7-OH ratio under 100.

What to expect in 2027

Pre-filing for the 2027 session begins December 1, 2026. Renewed kratom consumer protection or 7-OH bills are expected, but none had been filed as of this review. See kratom laws for sellers for how other states have framed these rules.

Local rules inside Missouri

State law is not the whole picture. Cities and counties can add their own rules, and some already have.

  • Kansas City. A February 2026 ordinance limits natural kratom sales to buyers 21 and over and bans synthetic 7-OH in city limits. An April 2026 ordinance requires kratom retailers to hold a separate license that costs $500. Ordinance numbers, effective dates, penalties and whether the license covers wholesalers or online sellers were not confirmed. No other Missouri city or county ordinance was checked.

Enforcement and penalties

The Attorney General can seek injunctions, restitution and civil penalties under the Merchandising Practices Act. We could not verify penalty amounts, so ask Missouri counsel. News reports describe a settlement that sets a large agreed penalty if the company does not quickly fix a breach.

DHSS controls drug scheduling, and Kansas City enforces its own ordinances. Penalties under the Kansas City rules were not confirmed.

Federal context

Federal rules sit on top of state law. As of the sources we reviewed on October 18, 2026, DEA had temporarily scheduled mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16 (effective August 26, 2026). On October 14, 2026 it published a notice of intent to temporarily schedule 7-OH and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl above a threshold (more than 1 mg per gram or per mL, or less than 100 times as much mitragynine as 7-OH); that order cannot take effect before about November 13, 2026. DEA has said its action does not override stricter state law. Check the Federal Register for anything newer, and see our overview of kratom laws for sellers for the federal background.

Wholesale buyer checklist for Missouri

  1. Do not sell concentrated or synthetic 7-OH products into Missouri; they are the focus of Attorney General action.
  2. Pull any product containing mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 or MGM-16, which are federal Schedule I substances.
  3. Keep a lot-level lab report showing mitragynine, 7-OH and other alkaloids for each product. See how to read a kratom lab report.
  4. Make sure labels and marketing are accurate and include safety information, since the Attorney General is using deceptive-practices law.
  5. Ask Kansas City retail buyers for their city kratom license, and sell only 21+ there.
  6. Consider a 21+ policy statewide; both the failed bills and Kansas City used 21.
  7. Watch DHSS emergency rules and 2027 pre-filed bills starting December 1, 2026.
