What Did Castle Rock Ban?
In September 2026, Castle Rock passed an ordinance prohibiting the retail sale of kratom products for human consumption within town limits. The ordinance is a local retail sales restriction—it is not a statewide Colorado kratom ban.
Castle Rock residents may still possess kratom, purchase it outside Castle Rock, and receive lawful shipments from businesses located outside the town.

Can Castle Rock Residents Still Buy Kratom?
Yes. The Castle Rock ordinance restricts retail kratom sales within Castle Rock town limits. It does not prohibit adult residents from purchasing kratom outside Castle Rock or receiving lawful shipments from businesses located outside the town.
Former Laughing Lion Castle Rock customers can order online for shipping or visit Laughing Lion Herbs at its Colorado Springs retail location.
