Man, I've never even heard of it. LOL. But if i had space or land i would definately be interested in a lil taste testing. Sounds like coffee but better and won't turn your teeth yellow.

Khat is a Cathinone bearing plant, the chemical family of Mephedrone.

Quite a popular in the ME and Africa, no? Correct me if I'm I'm wrong, but Khat has to be ingested within 48 hours or so after harvest, or else it is inactive? No wonder it's never surged in popularity here (West). It's a great prospect for future gardening endeavours, though

My aging mind may be confused.. But I think a doc I watched stated this. One of the reasons it doesn't really travel out of the East, Methinks.

Ahh, that's right.. when the leaves dry the cathinone is decomposed into cathine within 48 hours, a much less active chemical. Apparently it can kept fresh by maintaining the moisture within the plant, allowing for transport. As I look deeper into this, there have been numerous busts trying to import this stuff into Canada and US. I suppose with immigration of peoples, comes immigration of their magic plants too
