Khat is popular in Somalia and reportedly was used by warlord Mohamed Aidid’s forces portrayed in “Blackhawk Down.”

I’ve never tried it but from what I hear it is on the level of chewing Jimson Weed pods whose ingredients are the belladonna alkaloids atropine and scopolamine. I don’t believe this stuff will ever have much of a market.

I took a pharmicutical prescribed by a doctor many decades ago for stomach problems. Hyper acid flow.
