And once they have their qat, they’re ready to go all night.
I could look it up, but please tell me what is “qat” and it’s significance.
It’s the local equivalent of chewing coca leaves.
Qat or Khat is a plant that grows in east africa and the mideast. Its a stimulant that has long been used by the Somali islamokazis to encourage “bravery” and keep them fighting.
It doesn’t appear to be terribly harmful unless overused. Apparently its even legally sold in weak tea solutions in Israel. When its overused it tends to produce mild psychosis and paranoia.
