Kratom Legality in Minnesota

Here’s What You Need to Know

Kratom has been legal in Minnesota since 2018, thanks to a bill that was signed into law by Governor Mark Dayton. The law clearly states that it is legal for anyone 18 years of age or older to possess, sell, distribute, or grow kratom. 

This means that kratom is legal in Minnesota. However, if you want to understand the legal landscape of kratom in the North Star State, there are several more things to be aware of.

While it’s good news that kratom is legal, the fact is that the kratom market remains unregulated. There are few guardrails in place to protect kratom consumers from encountering low-quality kratom products. 

MIT45 guarantees the quality and purity of our kratom products. We are happy to serve as your expert guide to kratom’s legal status in Minnesota. 

Current Status of Minnesota Kratom Laws 

Many states have attempted to ban kratom, and a small number have been successful. The American Kratom Association has lobbied to protect kratom consumers from these bans so that they continue to have access to this helpful botanical. 

However, Minnesota took a different approach when it legalized kratom in 2018. This was only after the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy advocated for scheduling kratom in 2017. 

For the past few legislative sessions, Minnesota representatives have proposed a Kratom Consumer Protection Act. This legislation would go beyond legalizing kratom and place limitations on what can and can’t be sold as a kratom product. 

There are currently no other laws being proposed regarding kratom. From our perspective, the sale and possession of kratom is settled law for the time being. 

Current Regulatory Status of Kratom in Minnesota 

Kratom industry leaders support the idea of regulating kratom. Why? Because it would create a safer, more consistent kratom experience for kratom consumers. 

The FDA doesn’t regulate kratom at this time, although the American Kratom Association supports and advocates for strong regulations in conjunction with the full legality of kratom nationwide. 

If the Kratom Consumer Protection Act is passed in Minneapolis this year or in some future legislative session, kratom vendors will not be permitted to sell: 

  • Kratom that has been adulterated with a dangerous non-kratom substance
  • Contaminated kratom product
  • Kratom that contains certain levels of residual solvents
  • Kratom that contains more than 2% of 7-hydroxymitragynine alkaloid content 
  • Any kratom product containing synthetic alkaloids 
  • Inadequately labeled kratom products, including kratom without a recommended serving size

Where to Get More Answers About Your Kratom Legality Questions in Minnesota

As one of the US’s leading kratom vendors, we know a lot about this incredible plant and its applications. Unfortunately, we can’t anticipate or answer every nuanced legal question about kratom in each state, nor can we give medical advice or answer questions based on your unique personal health circumstances. 

What we can do is direct you to some places where you can get more information about kratom-specific laws in Minnesota. 

Talk to the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy

The Minnesota Board of Pharmacy does not appear to have any current plans to attempt to schedule kratom again, especially because kratom was fully legalized in Minnesota in 2018. 

However, if you see a push for scheduling kratom, you should reach out to the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy to ask your questions and explain how kratom has helped you.

Monitor government websites for updates

It’s a little surprising just how much information you can find by visiting Minnesota’s health and government websites. 

When we searched for kratom on the Minnesota Department of Health’s website, we found a press release about a salmonella outbreak associated with kratom, back in 2018. A little more digging reveals that this outbreak was isolated and resolved, and there have been no additional salmonella outbreaks associated with kratom. 

How does this information help you? As a kratom user, you can monitor the latest news about the substance in your state. This will help you stay informed of any recalls, developments, or pending legislation.

Contact your state representative 

Because there is still the possibility of a Kratom Consumer Protection Act in Minnesota, you can contact your state representative to express your support for kratom and its uses.

Find and contact your state and national Representatives 

Sign the national petition and share your story.  

Ideally, a national Kratom Consumer Protection Act will solidify kratom’s legality and regulation throughout the entire country. 

An even more efficient way to share your kratom testimonial is to use the American Kratom Association’s online portal.

Where to Buy Kratom in Minnesota Legally

Minnesota’s laws allow you to buy kratom from any vendor that is operating legally in the state. Additionally, you can buy kratom online. 

If you choose to purchase from a smoke shop, be sure that you are buying from a legitimate business. Any store that sells tobacco products must get proper licensing from the Minnesota Department of Revenue. 

Kratom may also be sold in some gas stations, convenience stores, and other brick-and-mortar vendors. It is a good idea to call ahead before showing up at these locations because kratom access is hit-or-miss in brick-and-mortar shops. 

Tips for Buying Kratom in Minnesota – And How to Check for Quality

As a kratom vendor with products that are available both online and in-stores, MIT45 highly recommends shopping online. While you may be able to find great kratom products in a physical store, shopping in-person means that you’re limited to what products the merchandiser has on their shelves. 

Shopping online, on the other hand, means you can buy directly from the manufacturers you trust mots. You can also check out the AKA vendor certification when shopping online, and check for a verifiable Certificate of Analysis. 

When you shop for kratom online, you can: 

  • Learn more about products
  • Go beyond the bare minimum of information available on the product’s label
  • Take advantage of loyalty programs
  • Buy from a company with expertise in kratom
  • Get better deals on prices and shipping 

Drug Testing, Work Culture, and Employment Policies 

Kratom users in Minnesota know that they have legality on their side, but are there any professional consequences to using? Will you lose your job if your employer finds out that you use and enjoy kratom? 

Here are a few things to know. First, even though kratom can, in theory, be detected by a drug test, most employers do not screen for kratom in their standard drug tests. That said, kratom has been found to create false positives for opiates, although this is very rare.

Even though many employers probably won’t consider kratom grounds for termination, Minnesota is an at-will state, which means that your employer can dismiss you for any reason (except reasons that are covered by anti-discrimination laws). 

Most kratom users choose not to voluntarily disclose that they take kratom, as there is no relevant reason to do so.  

Social Values and Personal Liberty 

People use kratom for all kinds of reasons, including mood management and energy boosts. Kratom as a pre-workout is especially popular with today’s fitness enthusiasts. MIT45 supports personal liberty in Minnesota and other states, as we have seen the positive outcomes our customers experience through their kratom use.
