Is Kratom Legal In Iowa State? Year 2023

Is Kratom legal in Iowa?

Iowa is one of the many states that have made the natural supplement legal within their boundaries. In fact, the Kratom community in Iowa is very strong and is often vocal about its many benefits. This was even more evident when talks of an impending ban in 2014 came to a quick halt thanks to the overwhelming support pulled by the citizens.

Thanks to this, Kratom is available within all major cities. That includes Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Dubuque, Ames, Des Moines, and so on.  Kratom is often available in vape shops and smoke shops

Kratom In Iowa

In 2014, the state’s senate received a bill proposing a ban on Kratom.  It would make it illegal to sell or possess kratom. In the bill, Kratom is said to be a hallucinogenic that could be abused by many and had no medical benefits. The bill also sought to classify Kratom as a Schedule 1 drug. Thankfully, news got out to the members of the Kratom community. They filled and submitted a petition pointing out Kratom as an herb out of the coffee family. In 2017, another study was released showcasing an 8-factor analysis of Kratom showing the herb had similar abuse and addiction levels as regular caffeine. 

Members of the community were also able to show that kratom had no deaths linked or related to it which was contrary to the position of the Food & Drugs Administration (FDA). The truth is although there were deaths linked to Kratom, the deceased had other substances present. These substances contained high abuse potential and could also lead to death.

Because of the efforts of the community, the bill was overturned. However, the community called for the regulation of Kratom. That is yet to occur within the state at the point of writing this article. 

Using Kratom in Iowa

Because of its legal status in Iowa, Kratom is available for purchase and use freely within the state. In fact, most smoke and vape shops within the state stock and sell Kratom to the many residents who live within the state’s lines. Iowa residents can expect to find a vast variety of Kratom strains and products all through the state. And for those who are looking to ship in Kratom in various forms – capsules leaves or powder. Shipping in your favorite supplement contains no hassle. Simply order from your favorite vendor and enter your address as you would any other package. 

The Future: Kratom in Iowa

Although Kratom is currently legal in Iowa, there are fears that due to the false classification of the supplement in other states, there could be a resurgence of the 2014 bill somewhere down the line. To ensure this doesn’t happen, the American Kratom Association is working to get all 50 states to adopt the Kratom Consumer Protection Act.
