Misc Khat - Anyone tried it?

[nearjat]

I can get some for free if I wanted, is it just a really weak stimulant or is it worth doing anything with?

 

[the outsider]

I really like khat. It's an unusual stimulant in that it's almost all mental and not physical but it can get speedy as hell after you've been chewing it for a while. It took me about half an hour of solid chewing to build up a good buzz so don't write it off immediately.

As for technique, I'd advise chewing it slowly with gum until you can't hold anymore, then spitting the juices out. It can be quite messy. It always left me with a crippling stomach ache as soon as I stopped, as well.

It degrades seriously quickly so I'd advise starting on it as soon as you get it. Even then there's a good chance it won't be working too well if it had to be flown to wherever you live; the khat I've tried here has been piss-weak compared to the stuff I had in east Africa. The young small red-tinted leaves are the most potent.

Yeah these are definitely flown in, green brittle dried up leaves. I just chewed a quanity about the size of my palm trying not to spit until it was unbearable lol.

So far I feel...really Somalian. Naw I keed I keed, definitely something so far. But easily passable as placebo. I'll chew more momentarily but I'm at work and don't want jolly green giant teeth.

would you think khat would be harder to find in london after all the mephedrone calamity?

Its good for adding methylenedioxy to.....yeah and all those other cathinone analogues.

Is that another name for kanna? kanna is good when smoked with weed

^^^
Nah, there totally different. Khat is more similar to a traditional stim, kanna is an SRI I believe.

 

[Mercc96]

Isn't kanna like a sort of universal potentiator?

 

[Sahand]

apparently they say kanna is like mdma but i never got that experience. yes it potentiates weed and has its own little effect too. general mood lift and feeling of well being

 

[robatussin]

Kanna is more akin to nicotine rather than MDMA. It will definately mess with your sleep if you redose like you think you need to. id say more like cocaine rather than MDMA, but overall think of it as a more stimulating sort of nicotine.

I'm going to try and find a tea recipe, these dry leaves are DISGUSTING to chew. Ugh feels like it sucks the moisture out of your tongue and scrapes it or some shit. I hope I don't get some weird foreign germ now.

Tea = Success!

Just put a large pinch in a tea bag and staple it shut and steep like normal tea. Add some sugar and enjoy I actually really enjoyed the flavor and the effects were even enjoyable :D
