What is the Kratom Consumer Protection Act?

The Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) is model legislation designed to regulate kratom rather than ban it. States that adopt KCPA establish consumer protections while keeping kratom legal and accessible.

KCPA Requirements:

  • Age verification (typically 18+)
  • Lab testing for contaminants and adulterants
  • Proper product labeling with alkaloid content
  • Prohibition of synthetic alkaloids or adulterants
  • Registration requirements for vendors

States with KCPA:
