Khat

It's good - more like mildish (but much longer acting) coke than sulphate. The main drawback is the length of time it takes to reach full effect (there's a limit to how fast you can chew shit-tasting shrubbery). You can boost it a bit and bring it on quicker by taking 2 or 3 Sudafed every hour throughout the night (whose active ingredient is closely related to one of Khat's active principles norpseudoephedrine [=cathine]). Cathinone is the main ingredient and the one that starts deteriorating after 48 hours which is why you need to get the stuff fresh.

I think cat (methcathinone) the newish designer drug which bears the same relationship to cathinone as crystal meth does to sulphate may become a big drug craze over the next decade because of the easy availability of its chemical precursors (it's not sythesized from the plant itself but rather from ephedrine or asthma products or from such things as Drano or battery acid).

previous medication = benzedrine etc = uppers as used by James Bond/Lester Bangs and their ilk

To manufacture amphetamines illicitly has always been a difficult and dangerous process. But fairly recently it was discovered that ephedrine (which is found in various asthma products [and which is an amphetamine-related substance but a weak and rubbish one that makes you puke all night] or the common cold medication pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) can quite easily be converted into methcathinone, a more powerful version of the amphetamine-related substance which gives khat its effect (cathinone). Not only that, there seems to be a whole host of household products which could do the job as well as ephedrine should that become more restricted. Hence the likelihood of a boom of ecstasy proportions. (You heard it here first).

HERE'S ALL YOU NEED TO PREPARE IT:

Collander w/ reletively small holes

Shaved Ice

Pseudephedrine tablets, 100 of 30mg each.

Potassium Permaganate crystals, of reasonably pure origin

Purified water [TAP WATER WILL *NOT* FUNCTION ADEQUATELY IN MOST CASES]

Refridgerator chilled to just over 0c.

Turkey Baster or other method of measuring water in mililiter quantities.

Isopropanol for quenching KMnO4.

Ethanol optional for speeding drying process.

Acetone for the washing of crystals.

I have a *feeling* that use of the drug was made unlawful immediately after that weekend - there was certainly a piece of legislation introduced in '96 that clamped down on many hitherto legal highs.

Then again all Somalian grocers are law abiding and upstanding pillars of the community and I am most certain that they would never intentionally flout this country's draconian drugs legislation. ;-)

There is something really weird about being completely surrounded with drug agriculture. Obviously chat it's not coca or opium poppies, but it's not exactly tobacco, either. You see a whole lot of people in this area just sitting by roadsides and acting really, really weird.

maybe you should go to sheffield. you could come on oct 4th...........

Clarkey-Khat however = now you're talking!

ironic search leads to unironic khat high
