The leafy plant khat, which acts as a stimulant when chewed, is about to become a banned class C drug in the UK. But how big a problem is it and why are ministers making it illegal?

Possessing khat, a plant used as a stimulant by Somali communities, has been made illegal in the UK.

The ban comes after members of Cardiff's Somali community previously called for khat to be outlawed while others say it does not have a negative effect.

Logic people !!! they say they are multicultural, diversity bullshit, but a fucking plant is illegal while raping teenage girls by the thousand isn't worth an article by the genetically problematic journalists...

Khat (Catha edulis, qat from Arabic: القات‎[1]) is a flowering plant native to the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Khat contains the alkaloid cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant, which is said to cause excitement, loss of appetite, and euphoria. Among communities from the areas where the plant is native, khat chewing has a history as a social custom dating back thousands of years analogous to the use of coca leaves in South America and betel nut in Asia.[2]
