TL;DR: Kratom is currently legal in Nebraska, but the situation may not stay that way for long. In 2025, two opposing bills were introduced: one that would ban kratom entirely, and another that would regulate it under a statewide consumer protection act. No laws have passed yet, but the debate is very much alive.

Kratom’s legal status can feel like a moving target — what’s allowed in one state might be banned just over the border. So if you’re in Nebraska and wondering whether kratom is legal, the short answer is: it’s not. Nebraska has joined a handful of states that have outlawed kratom entirely. But what led to this decision? And how does it affect residents, travelers, or online vendors?
Let’s break it down clearly, so you know what’s allowed, what’s not, and how Nebraska fits into the bigger picture of kratom laws in the U.S.
Kratom isn’t regulated at the federal level, which means there’s no nationwide rulebook. Instead, each state — and sometimes individual counties or cities — makes its own call. The result? A patchwork of laws that can be confusing, especially if you’re traveling or buying online.
Here’s how it breaks down:
With no federal guidance, kratom’s legal status can shift quickly, often without much warning. That’s why staying informed about your state’s position (and any upcoming bills) is so important.
Yes, kratom is currently legal in Nebraska for adults.
You can buy, possess, and use kratom throughout the state, and there are no laws prohibiting its sale or consumption. However, Nebraska hasn’t passed any regulations either, so kratom remains completely unregulated; there are no labeling rules, age limits, or quality control standards.
That said, kratom's legal status could change. In January 2024, Nebraska lawmakers introduced LB 972, a bill that aimed to classify kratom’s active ingredients, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, as controlled substances. This would have effectively banned kratom statewide.
The good news? As of 2025, the bill has been indefinitely postponed. It hasn’t passed, and kratom remains legal for now. Still, the introduction of LB 972 signals that kratom is on the radar of state lawmakers, and future attempts to restrict it may resurface.
If you’re a kratom consumer in Nebraska, it’s a good idea to stay informed and support efforts to implement smart regulation; the kind that protects access while ensuring product safety.
No. As of mid-2025, there are:
That means while kratom is legal, quality control is entirely voluntary. Some vendors provide third-party lab tests and proper labeling, but many don’t, which increases the risk for consumers.
Not yet. Unlike some states where kratom is legal statewide but banned in specific counties or cities, Nebraska has not seen local municipalities pass any kratom restrictions, at least so far.
However, if LB 431 passes, kratom would become illegal everywhere in the state.
Here’s how Nebraska stacks up against nearby states:
Until regulations are passed, Nebraska consumers need to do their own due diligence:
Some people have reported feeling nauseous, dizzy, or even developing a dependency when using too much kratom. Since there's still a lot we don’t fully understand about it, it’s best to use it with care and stay mindful of how your body responds.
Kratom is legal in Nebraska — for now. But two bills currently working their way through the state legislature could soon change that, either by banning kratom altogether or by regulating it more like alcohol or tobacco.
Whether you’re a kratom user, seller, or just someone trying to stay informed, now’s the time to pay attention. Reach out to lawmakers, monitor updates, and make informed decisions about where you buy your products.
Because in Nebraska, the future of kratom is still up for debate.
