hey everyone. its been a while since i last posted.
i was wondering if anybody here has any experience with the plant khat. i know its illegal
in my country(canada) but [please let's not tell people how to get in trouble] i also know its legal in a lot of other countries except the us.
so I'm thinking its gotta have at least a little bit of recreational value. so to get to my question.
does anybody here have any experience with it? i just bought some and don't know too much about
it. all i really know is that its active ingredient is cathinone, which is used to make some of the rc's.

yeah so any and all info and experience you have on it would be greatly appreciated. asap lol.
i have a whole ziploc of it thats jus screaming at me to chew it. btw its the dried leaves not fresh.
thanx

Yeah, it does have limited recreational value as plant matter used in teas; Africans use this the way we use coffee - for it's mildly stimulating effects. I've heard the nickname "chat" used to describe it, and it seems to be used in social settings. I think it's regulated so harshly because it can be used to create far stronger stimulants, much in the way coca leaf tea is pretty much illegal everywhere as it contains 5% cocaine.

I've never used it myself, so my knowledge of it is very limited- I'm pretty sure it's illegal in my native UK too, so I guess the point is moot, at least for me.
 
Yeah chewing it is similar to caffeine.
Like a strong Turkish coffee or something. In my experience, anyway.
 
from what I've read and watched on vice, for now it actually is completely legal in the uk. theres actually a big debate to criminalize it right now BUMP

I had a decent sized khat plant around 3 years old, nice red stems and the leaves and stems had a strong smell once broken.
I read somewhere that khat would be awesome if you were a goat or cow, and I agree, chewing khat leaves is pretty rough for the small effects felt. As a tea it did not much more, extracted with alcohol...again not much effects. A/b extraction is not very good either, everything just moves over when ph is up or downed and solvents added, everything ends up with simalar brown tars after several washes, too much tannins and ascorbic acid I think, and again for the massive amount of plant material needed (from memory dried khat cathinone and cathine content is 1% at best) very little reward in the end (brown tar shit equals acid/base extraction failure imo).
The only good thing about khat was how easy it was to clone.
I gave up and uprooted the thing after experimenting.
