    wernt they trying to make this illegal too?

    Although concerns have been expressed by commentators, health professionals and community members about the use of khat in the UK, particularly by immigrants from Somalia, Yemen and Ethiopia, currently it is not a controlled substance.[44][45] As a result of these concerns, the Home Office commissioned successive research studies to look into the matter, and in 2005, presented the question of khat’s legal status before the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs. After a review of the evidence, the expert committee recommended in January 2006 that the status of khat as a legal substance should remain for the time being.[44]

    In 2008, Conservative politician Sayeeda Warsi stated that a future Conservative government would ban khat.[46] The website of the Conservative Party, which is now the largest party in a coalition government in the UK, previously stated that a Conservative government would “Tackle unacceptable cultural practices by”, amongst other measures, “classifying Khat”.[47]{In 2009, the Home Office commissioned two new studies in the effects of khat use and in June 2010, a Home Office spokesperson stated: “The Government is committed to addressing any form of substance misuse and will keep the issue of khat use under close scrutiny”.[48]

    Because it is legal in the UK, and because of khat’s short shelf life, Britain serves as a main gateway for khat being sent by air to North America.

    khat is legal in the UK, you can get it online from

    khat is great, and you can buy it online in the UK

    Theresa May has again laid out plans to ban this plant some time soonish

    it is planned to go class C in July along with the remaining benzofurans and some other RCs.

    This quote is from the Victorian writer, Charles Dickens. I would sya it is accurate, but would also be interesting to know what “stronger stimulants” the Europeans of his era had access to, and TBH it seems like everyone did this stuff yet still went to mosque, did their work and didn’t start wars / blowing things up, which would be an improvement on the Middle East today.

    And one may sleep well if, during the day, too much kat has not been chewed. The leaves of the drug called kat are the chief source of pleasurable excitement in these districts of East Africa. Botanists, taking the native name for the plant, turn it into Catha edulis, eatable kat. It is much used by the Arabs, to whom it is sent in camel loads, consisting of a number of small parcels, each containing about forty slender twigs, with the leaves attached, carefully, wrapped so as to avoid exposure to the air. These leaves are chewed, and act upon the spirits of those using them, much as a strong dose of green tea acts upon us in Europe, when it acts agreeably. Europeans used to stronger stimulants, are little affected by the use of kat, but among the more temperate Arabs it is so welcome a provocative to good humour, that about two hundred and eighty camel-loads of it are used ever year in Aden only.
