Spokane Valley Bans Kratom: City Council Votes to Protect Public Safety and Health
Spokane Valley has joined the ranks of cities banning kratom, a plant-derived substance with psychoactive properties. The city council voted to pass an ordinance on March 3, 2026, prohibiting the sale, distribution, and advertising of kratom products. The ban, which took effect on March 16, aims to address concerns over the unregulated substances availability at convenience stores to all ages. Spokane Valley Police Chief Dave Ellis praised the decision, stating it will help officers tackle threats to public safety and health. Before enforcement begins, city staff and police will conduct a 30-day outreach to educate retailers, with violators facing a $250 fine.
