Funny isn't it how drugs are frowned upon by British society, yet the vast majority of us can't enjoy a social event without being pissed as a newt.

Never mind, I'm sure one day we as a nation might develop the 'cafe culture' so sought after by the government and be able to drink sensibly.
 


Khat contains the alkaloid cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant which causes excitement and euphoria. In 1980 the World Health Organization classified khat as a drug of abuse that can produce mild to moderate psychological dependence, and the plant has been targeted by anti-drug organizations like the DEA.[1] It is a controlled/illegal substance in many countries.

United Kingdom

Khat is not a controlled substance in the United Kingdom. Because of this, and because of khat's short shelf life, the UK serves as a main gateway for khat being sent by air to North America.[7]

Khat is used by members of the Somali and Yemeni community (mainly men), which is concentrated in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester and Sheffield. It is currently legal, although there are calls from some sections of the Somali community for it to be banned. In the UK, Cathine and Cathinone are Class C drugs. The plant Catha edulis is uncontrolled.
