Is Kratom Legal in Virginia?
The Virginia General Assembly forwarded House Bill 360 to the Governor for approval, which would strengthen existing restrictions on kratom by prohibiting adulterated/synthetic products and limiting 7-hydroxymitragynine content.
The database listed Virginia as PENDING. While Virginia already had restrictions from 2023 (age 21+ and labeling), making its actual status RESTRICTED, House Bill 360 was forwarded to the Governor on March 10, 2026. This bill will further solidify and strengthen the RESTRICTED status by banning synthetic and adulterated kratom products and imposing limits on 7-hydroxymitragynine. This recent legislative action represents a change from the database's 'PENDING' to a 'RESTRICTED' status, based on current legislative movement.
