I enjoyed this visit. I had no idea about this plant at all. I'll be back for more.

Cathinones are not amphetamine-like, they are true amphetamines, chemically. Amphetamine is alpha-methyl-phenyl-ethyl-amine; cathinone posseses all of this structure, with an additional ketone on the beta carbon of the amphetamine, which gives the amphetamine a cocaine-like "kick", and reducing its duration of action somewhat.

It's more than likely they were not familiar with the effects and panicked when they were not in any real danger. If challenged by adults on their intoxicated behaviour and those adults react in a 'shock, horror DRUGS' manner that will increase the panic and hyperventilation of the teenagers. I've seen a similar case myself. The same with people who go to casualty after taking too much cannabis, usually first time users, who panic and feel out of control when they are in no danger at all and just need to lay down and calm themselves for a while. The reprimands of hospital staff doesn't help either.

Our government has no right to tell adults they can’t put a plant in their body. Luckily, the war on drugs hasn’t exactly been successful😂

Cathinone absolutely is an amphetamine. So is pseudoephedrine, so take it with a grain of salt. As with and psychoactive drug, there is potential for abuse but it's not something we should worry about in most cases.

I talked to an Uber driver of mine about this in the states. I had always wondered about this substance. He told me that they have similar substance that you can chew that is a downer as well.

can I just say that caffeine and cocaine need to be talked about in comparison to one another more often in how they are similar, as they actually have fairly similar health effect when taken at equivalent doses, and seemingly the crackdown on trade caused the isolation of the molecules in the respective plant making it a hell of a lot more dangerous in the same way that taking caffeine pills regularly would be a hell of a lot more dangerous than drinking coffee.

@myboysd5772 Every single minute of every day, you are at risk of war. And your consumption of coffee methodology has no influence whatsoever. Intelligence should always be a factor in coffee consumption. However, only minimally to drinking it. There is the paramount necessity of being able to provide yourself with a first cup of the day of such quality that most of the lyrics of the song "My Girl" seem to apply to it. The brain is usually minimally engaged in preventing scalding your tongue and not drinking in bouncy castles. When your doctor says "only one cup in the morning," a brain does more work to prevent you from blurting out about afternoons and evenings being unlimited. And your brain also helps you find the largest possible cup for that morning Joe. I hope all this helps you in your pursuit of a happy life. Oh, and it is always a wise choice to not stand too near overstimulated individuals who feel that they have been given the shitty end of the stick for centuries.

Don't. For the love if god, don't. There is no situation where you'd be better off high on this stuff than you would be sober

A few caveats about khat in Kenya: 1: Women were traditionally very heavily involved in crop cultivation, going back centuries, while men would be involved in pastoralism. 2: Chewing khat is seen as a very low status thing to do by poor people. 3: It’s not done by women for the most part, thankfully. But it causes impotence in men.
