Caster Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Would be interested in reading any good articles about Yemen and khat and any potential links to their countries conflicts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosh Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 All the khat trees I've seen in Australia aren't being hedged, that is why they lack potency. They need to be grown like a tea bush, it's the young growing shoots which are useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Daze Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I met a chewer who would drive a 4 hour round trip every month or two and ask for tips. He was a dark-skinned guy from Egypt, maybe a mix of arab and black. Anyway he would always knock and ask respectfully which I very much appreciated. He said he was in love with khat and the feeling was absolutely wonderful. No one else I know could ever get any feeling off the plant (pretty weird). Other full African dudes would come at night and raid it. Eventually I dug up the whole tree and gave it to the dark Egyptian guy who would always ask so kindly. It was just a stock standard red khat from SAB. I wondered if it was because he had African DNA or whatever, but he said one of his white Aussie mates was a big time chewer as well. It's a real mystery this plant. I think it may take many weeks of chewing to get the effects, but do you really wanna get hooked on something that will send you on 4 hour drives just to get your fix. The addiction seems to be quite strong, with fairly negative side effects. Plus it's illegal etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the tender young shoots are much easier to chew than woody old branches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimi Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I had a plant a while back and I can remember thinking how terrible it tasted, but then wanting more. It made me feel really focused, yet also relaxed. Definitely a pleasant experience. I think it had an appetite suppressant effect as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
