N01 Colorado looks at guardrails for kratom

Colorado is moving toward regulating kratom, an herbal supplement with intoxicating effects, by introducing restrictions similar to those for tobacco products. This marks the state's first effort to impose such controls amid rising concerns over kratom-related fatalities and addiction risks. Although initial proposals from lawmakers and Governor Jared Polis’s administration were more comprehensive, the final version of the regulations is less strict, primarily due to concerns about the startup costs of implementing them. Despite being scaled back, the legislation is seen as a positive first step by supporters like Senate bill sponsor Kyle Mullica (D-Northglenn), who advocates for ultimately requiring licensure for kratom sales. The next phase of action will depend on decisions made by Governor Polis.
