Well now..this is news to me. Are agencies aware enough of Khat to identify it when encountered? Just what we need another item to deal with from other countries.
Is there much of this in schools yet?
I have personally been aware of Khat since around 1999. The skinheads/neonazis were calling it Gott and extolling it pretty publicly.
I don’t think the usage is so far up in the schools as of yet, but among the muslim and nazi factions, it has become rife. It is as potent as cocaine, but far less recognizable. Looks like crushed spices you buy in grocery stores.
It is picking up as imports grow. We need to familiarize ourselves because it won’t be that long now before it hits Main Street.
