Chewing Khat at this point is tradition. It is so much a part of East African culture that you can even use it to bribe the police.

Qat (How I'm told it on its English equivalent spelling) - It's also popular in Yemen. Even saw young boys chewing it. Though I believe it's popularity is mostly centered in Aden. On a side note, on observation, it seemed Yemeni have a fear of Somalis.

I have a mate here in Australia who had to remove large Katha edulis (Khat) trees from his propperty that he'd had for years and years because he kept getting raided at night by Kenyans who had found them and kept trespassing to steal from the trees. Some also got planted on a traffic divider decades ago and as soon as the local NE African immigrant population found them they swarmed there and stripped them bare. Both true stories.

Khat has a very mild come down like coffee and vivid weird dreams but it's no where near the opiods, cocaine, heroine,meth or penzodiazepines when it comes to physical withdrawals, it's addiction is purely mental unlike the above drugs.

What he didn't tell you is: 1 those specific Khat they were chewing are the lowest grade and very cheap, the good ones are way more expensive and dark purple colored at the tip. 2 of course westerners have tried harder drugs like liquor, cocaine, weed, ect. So if you've tried those before then Kath is nothing as your body already tolerated much stronger stimulants. But if you NEVER tried any other drug in your life. The feeling you get (of course if you don't abuse it daily) is memorable. Personally, I won't forget the feeling I had when I've tried for the 1st time.

@Shiranami Rei-- No, e-cigs are not the same, and they aren't meant to be. E-cigs are meant to get people off cigarettes, which ARE more harmful, no matter what the anti-vaping ads all keep screaming. They are NOT meant for children, no matter what flavors they might be. E-cigs are all about _adult harm reduction._ They aren't perfect, nothing is, but I was able to quit a three pack-a-day habit by switching to vaping, and not only is it 1/20th of the price of smoking, I've gone from 1.8 mgs. per ml., down to .03 mgs. per ml. and will step down to .01 in August. By Christmas I should be nicotine-free, but I will still vape because I've smoked, and now vaped, my entire adult life and I know not having a vape pen handy will end up putting me back on cigarettes when some crisis or another befalls me. The only husband I'll ever have died nine days after I quit smoking and started vaping. He may have gone out the way he wanted to, on his Harley, but it was still a shock to the whole family. Without vaping, I'm positive that I would have smoked after he died.

@ToddHowar.d

I’m gonna have to add something. The active chemicals in khat that cause the stimulating effect are cathinone and cathine. If fresh khat is placed in a deep freeze (like below -10°C) it prevents the decomposition of cathinone which can be extracted from the khat with an acid/base extraction which is relatively simple. After that, the cathinone can be chemically altered to many different other drugs of the substituted cathinone class. Methcathinone is comparatively easier to produce than street methamphetamine which requires many more steps to turn pseudoephedrine into methamph. Not to mention anecdotally people say it’s more pleasant with less comedown and it only lasts 4-6hrs instead of methamph possibly lasting 18hrs which would really put a strain on you.

Khat doesn't just contain chemicals that are like amphetamines, it contains chemicals that almost are amphetamines. One in particular is about as close to being amphetamine as something can be without actually being amphetamine. Some of them are equally potent or more potent stimulants to some amphetamines. Stimulation and euphoria aren't synonymous though, and amphetamine is probably more euphoric than the chemical I'm referring to (cathinone.) The chemical responsible for most of the stimulant effects is probably the cathinone Khat produces. Cathinone is the base molecule for what most people know as "bath salts," or more accurately "substituted cathinones." Cathinone can be thought of as an amphetamine molecule with one extra oxygen molecule double-bonded to it (at the β position of the carbon chain, for the chemists,) of the amphetamine backbone molecule. This oxygen molecule is called a keto functional group ("KEE-toe") and this reason, cathinone can also be called "beta-keto amphetamine." (Google "amphetamine vs cathinone" and look at the image results for a clear understanding of how similar their structures are.) Khat also contains cathine (not to be confused with caffeine,) which is also called Dextro-norpseudoephedrine, which is closely related to pseudoephedrine, i.e. "Sudafed", which itself is closely related, structurally, to ephedrine and amphetamine but neither cathine or pseudoephedrine have the dopaminergic euphoric-stimulant or CNS simulating effects of amphetamine. Khat also contains norephedrine, aka noradrenaline. Cathinone is only found in decent amounts in the shoots and leaves of young khat plants, as during the maturation process the plant converts the Cathinone into the less desirable cathine (D-norpseudoephedrine.) The plant contains numerous other alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, sterols, glycosides, tannins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, but these are probably the most interesting, as far as I know, in terms of the plant's psychoactive properties. It's an absolutely fascinating branch of chemistry.

Speaking of a ritual: when I used to smoke weed on an almost daily basis, I mostly smoked joints that we shared with multiple people. At some point we tried smoking bong, but I went back to smoking joints pretty quickly. Despite the fact that I prefer the slow and steady high from joints over the quick and heavy high of a bong, I mostly disliked that bong smoking kind of takes away the ritual of rolling and sharing a joint. And now that I quit smoking weed, I really just miss the ritual for the most part. The Search for a good spot with a nice view, the work and aesthetic that goes into rolling a good joint and the way you share it. It really is a lifestyle

Another great picture with great narration and the reason why Khat (or Miraa as we call it here in Meru Kenya (the origin)) is because it is basically banned elsewhere and the cultural barriers stand strong. It was legal in Britain until recently where we exported for decades but it is classified in USA because it contains Cathinone and cathine which are classfied there. But when you get the gist of it you will find out it's just like tea or coffee as you said it is a mild stimulant that does not drive psychotic or violent. It is also not or mildly addictive most people chew it out of habit or probably prestige.

except that prohibition actually encourages some people to use such drugs, just because it's forbidden fruit. So... prohibition never really works

Very good video and a valid argument as to why Khat is a prevalent drug in that part of the world even with a religious taboo in place.

Stronger than coffee but not as strong as cocaine? Sounds like the perfect drug to me. If only I could get that stimulation without behaving like a cow.

​@HB No it isn't. It is Somali Ethiopia. Ethiopia is an empire, and this is one of their conquests. Just because Somali people live there doesn't by definition make it Somalia. Otherwise Minnesota is Somalia, too. I don't think it is wise or right of Ethiopia to have taken the land, but pretending it is Somalia doesn't really change reality.

In Israel, Yemenite Jews chew it, and there is a niche of juices made with it that are briefly successful and then banned every once in a while. Israel has western drugs, yet this one still remains popular among Yemenite Jews decades after arrival in Israel. My wife comes from a city where this is common, so I have heard some stories about this drug, from her
