Is Kratom Legal in Nebraska? Essential Legal Information for Residents

“Equality before law” is Nebraska’s state motto, and most of the kratom legislation in the midwestern state reflects this spirit. Although kratom isn’t regulated on a federal level, the laws surrounding the botanical vary from state to state. The good news is, as of 2024, kratom is legal in Nebraska.

However, potential legislative bills may go into effect that could change the availability of kratom in Nebraska. Let’s explore Nebraska’s kratom regulations and how the use of kratom could be impacted in the future.

Kratom’s current legal status in Nebraska

Kratom users in Nebraska may wonder how readily available kratom products are, and whether there are physical spaces to purchase kratom, or if shipments from verified online kratom brands are permissible.

The answer is a bit complicated. As of right now, kratom is 100% legal and unregulated in Nebraska. Nevertheless, on the state level, the kratom debate rages.

In January 2024, the state legislature introduced LB972, a bill that would prohibit the statewide sale and use of kratom, and classify the botanical as a controlled substance. The bill went to the Nebraska Judiciary Committee in February 2024, and is currently under review.

It’s important to stay up-to-date on any legal changes when considering making physical or online purchases of kratom products.

Anticipated developments in kratom regulations in Nebraska

Along with the proposed bill, LB972, Nebraska has taken the initiative to ensure all kratom products sold and distributed across the state are safe. The following provide the basis for additional anticipated developments in Nebraska’s kratom regulations:

• American Kratom Association:

The American Kratom Association (AKA), the premiere kratom advocacy, awareness, and education organization, calls for the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to federally regulate kratom.

This will help to remove disreputable brands and vendors from the industry, and will help consumers to trust the safety of available kratom products.

• Kratom Consumer Protection Act:

Introduced to the U.S. Senate floor in 2023, the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (also known as S.3039) calls for a dedicated FDA task force to establish the health benefits and risks, and the safety of, all kratom products available for purchase.

If this bill passes, it could lead to federal regulations and nationwide practices regarding kratom.

• Quality Control Initiatives:

In 2023, proposed stringent kratom quality control initiatives provided a plan to ensure the safety and purity of all kratom products currently available in Nebraska and nationwide.

• Transparent Labeling:

Although kratom brands like Golden Monk, verified by the AKA on the list of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Qualified Vendors, include transparent and truthful labeling on every product, the proposals listed above could ensure that this becomes an industry-wide mandate for kratom products.

• Failure to ban kratom:

Similar to the newest proposed kratom legislation in Nebraska, in 2018, an attempt to ban kratom on a federal level failed to succeed. This may ultimately impact the future of LB972.

Nebraska could keep kratom legal, while using the above proposals to adhere to sales guidelines and safety measures.

Kratom FAQ

What is kratom?

Kratom, or Mitragyna speciosa, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia and a member of the coffee family. The leaves of the kratom tree are ground into powder or dried before use.

For centuries, local cultures have used kratom to brew into teas, chew, and smoke, and included kratom use in religious ceremonies. The three main strains of kratom — green, red, and white — denote the stage of kratom leaf growth used in kratom products and can be used for a variety of benefits.

How can I find out if kratom is legal in my state?

You can reference the state-by-state guide listed above, or perform an online search for legal questions. There are several states and municipalities with a kratom ban in effect, which means you won’t be able to purchase online kratom products either.

However, the laws and regulations surrounding kratom are constantly evolving, so remember to check if you’re not clear on regulations in your state.

What are the potential benefits of kratom?

Every individual reacts differently to kratom, and the botanical’s benefits may depend on the strain and serving size taken. The potential benefits of kratom may include energizing and uplifting feelings, soothing and calming experiences, comfort, and relaxation.

Does kratom have any negative effects?

As with any natural product, kratom can potentially cause negative effects. If you surpass the suggested serving size or misuse kratom products, you may experience unwanted effects.

You should consult a medical professional if you’re uncertain about beginning your kratom journey, and always begin with an introductory product to understand how your body reacts. Some of the potential effects of kratom include dehydration, fatigue, headaches, nausea, and vomiting.
