Drug Travels From Africa To Indianapolis In 48 Hours.
Most residents of Indianapolis, including many in the law enforcement community, have never heard of the drug called khat...over the past three years, hundreds of pounds of the drug have been sold on the streets of Indianapolis, mostly to people of African descent...
Khat is a plant that grows plentifully in east Africa, specifically in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia.
Users chew the leaves of the plant to release a compound called cathinone, which is considered a "schedule 1" amphetamine and hallucinogen under U.S. law... traffickers used cell phones and sophisticated code to smuggle the drug from Africa to the United Kingdom, then to the United States and finally Indianapolis.
The smugglers used UPS, FedEx and the U.S. Postal system to move shipments of khat into Indianapolis

Wasn't it Minneapolis where a Best Buy circular last year or the year before wished Muzzies a Happy Yak Shaving Day, or somesuch raghead holiday, during Thanksgiving weekend? We're not that bad yet, but Comrade Bieter is doing his damnedest to turn us into Portland or Seattle, Jr.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I was thinking it might make a nice ornamental around the foundation of the house but I’m not sure I want the elk buzzed up on a speed and pot-like high.
The reddish stems and new leaves do give it that look. LOL
It was discovered by a shepherd that noticed his sheep were acting really strange, so . . . (wait for it) he decided to try eating whatever the sheep were eating. Dumb. It grows about 6 feet high. I don’t think it has a particularly attractive shape for landscaping. I’m a little surprised at its use here in the US, though, because it has to be freshly picked to get the buzz. It needs a high altitude volcanic soil to grow. I hiked through qhat terraces in the mountains of northwest Yemen on my vacation so I’ve seen a lot of it. You can probably get something that looks similar at Home Depot.
In her book InfidelAayan Hirsi Ali had a great comment about Somali men in the Netherlands always giving excuses about not being able to do anything yet she said they always seemed to have fresh Khat.
A.k.a. “qat” (drive your Scrabble opponents crazy).
I use that one all the time in Scrabble... it really comes in handy.
Oh, how great Diversity is!
Every third world cesspool overflowing onto Main Street USA sucking up tax dollars and creating the craphole here that they left back home.
The Socialists are dangerous morons, I am not against immigration, but why not ASSIMILIATE them in small numbers and not let them go straight on welfare?
Because the vote Democrat, that’s why.
Yes it’s correct. Adenosine is the dopamine inhibitor.
CocaineCocaine (benzoylmethylecgonine) (INN) is a crystalline tropane alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves of the coca plant.[5] The name comes from "coca" in addition to the alkaloid suffix -ine, forming cocaine. It is a stimulant of the central nervous system, an appetite suppressant, and a topical anesthetic. Specifically, it is a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which mediates functionality of these neurotransmitters as an exogenous catecholamine transporter ligand. Because of the way it affects the mesolimbic reward pathway, cocaine is addictive.[6]
“chewing khat is like taking low-grade speed”
Why are the skinnies so gosh damn lazy? The speed freaks
I used to see were hyper and productive, at least.
