How to buy wholesale kratom

Is Kratom Legal in Virginia?

Yes. Kratom is legal in Virginia, but only for buyers 21 and over, and HB 360 tightened the rules on July 1, 2026. Every product now needs an ingredient list and a fixed WARNING statement, has to sit behind the counter or in a locked case, and cannot hold more than 1% 7-OH of total alkaloids or more than 1 mg 7-OH per serving. Synthetic and semi-synthetic alkaloids, vapes and child-appealing products are out.

The Virginia rules in detail

Who can buy, and where product sits

No supplier may sell or offer kratom to a person under 21. Product must be kept out of direct consumer access, either behind the counter or in a locked case. Refrigerated products may go in the wine or beer cooler under ABC rules.

The required label

Every kratom product must list all of its ingredients and carry this exact disclosure:

WARNING: Kratom may cause dependence and opioid-like withdrawal. Do not use while pregnant. Use may impair judgment. Not for persons younger than 21 years of age.

The statute does not require alkaloid content, serving size or a manufacturer address on the label. Product cannot be made, packaged or marketed in a way that appeals to children.

7-OH cap and banned ingredients

Two 7-OH limits apply at once. The 7-OH share of the alkaloid fraction cannot exceed 1% of total alkaloids in the container, and a product cannot deliver more than 1 mg of 7-OH per serving. The statute does not define a serving.

Also barred: any synthesized material, semi-synthetic alkaloid or synthetic kratom-like compound; any dangerous non-kratom ingredient, including any controlled substance; and extracts with residual solvents above statutory or pharmacopeial limits. Some news reports call this a 7-OH ban. The text is a cap plus a ban on synthetic and semi-synthetic forms.

Formats you cannot sell

Combustible kratom products and products meant to be vaporized or injected are prohibited. So are products that look or are marketed to appeal to children.

Testing and licensing

Virginia has no kratom license, product registration or permit. The statute has no testing mandate either. The seller still carries the risk on the 7-OH cap and solvent limits, so a lot-level lab report is the practical way to show compliance. See how to read a kratom lab report.

The law is written for “suppliers” in “consumer transactions.” Whether it reaches a wholesaler selling only to retailers is not settled in the research, so plan as if it does.

Local rules inside Virginia

We did not confirm any city or county kratom ordinances in Virginia. That is not the same as there being none, so check the municipal and county code for every ship-to address.

Enforcement and penalties

Kratom violations are prohibited practices under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. The Attorney General, Commonwealth’s attorneys and county, city or town attorneys can bring actions. Under Va. Code 59.1-206, a willful violation carries a civil penalty of up to $2,500 per violation, and willfully breaking an injunction or assurance of voluntary compliance carries up to $5,000 per violation.

Buyers can also sue under Va. Code 59.1-204 for actual damages or $500, whichever is greater, and up to three times actual damages or $1,000 if the violation was willful. No kratom-specific criminal penalty was found.

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 Virginia

  1. Verify age 21 or older for every sale, online and in store.
  2. Print the full ingredient list and the exact statutory WARNING text on every package.
  3. Get a lot-level lab report and confirm 7-OH is 1% or less of total alkaloids and 1 mg or less per serving.
  4. Drop any product with synthetic or semi-synthetic alkaloids, including converted or isolated 7-OH.
  5. Do not stock vape, combustible or injectable kratom, or anything with child-appealing design.
  6. Tell retail buyers to keep product behind the counter or in a locked case.
  7. For extracts, confirm residual solvents are within statutory or pharmacopeial limits.
  8. Watch the 2027 session and the federal 7-OH scheduling notice.
