CE ÎNSEAMNĂ KHAT ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
khat
Catha edulis este o plantă înflorită originară din Cornul Africii și din Peninsula Arabică. Printre comunitățile din aceste zone, mestecarea khat are o istorie ca un obicei social care datează de mii de ani. Khat conține un alcaloid monoaminic numit cathinone, un stimulent asemănător cu amfetamina, despre care se spune că provoacă excitare, pierderea apetitului și euforie. În 1980, Organizația Mondială a Sănătății a clasificat-o ca un drog de abuz care poate produce dependență psihologică ușoară până la moderată, deși OMS nu consideră că khat este serios dependentă. Planta a fost vizată de organizații antidrog, cum ar fi DEA. Este o substanță controlată în unele țări, cum ar fi Canada, Germania, Marea Britanie și Statele Unite, în timp ce producția, vânzarea și consumul sunt legale în alte țări, inclusiv Djibouti, Etiopia, Somalia și Yemen.
