Catha edulis Forsk, popularly known as khat, is a plant used in parts of Africa and the Arab Peninsula. Its fresh leaves and tops are chewed or, less frequently, dried and consumed as tea, in order to achieve a state of euphoria and stimulation. Due to the rapid air transportation, the drug has been reported in London, Rome, Amsterdam, Canada, and the U.S. The public has become more aware of this exotic drug through media reports pertaining to the United Nations mission in Somalia, where khat use is endemic, and its role in the Persian Gulf. The khat plant is known by a variety of names, such as qat in Yemen; tschat in Ethiopia, and miraa in Kenya. In 1980 the World Health Organization classified khat as a drug of abuse that can produce mild to moderate psychic dependence. |
