I bet Khat could help people w/ attention disorders. I’m sure it’s better than taking some prescribed medications.

My last comment lead me to a question for Riku and Tunna… What are you political beliefs? I am guessing that based on your travels and how open-minded you both are, that you tend to be ‘libertarian’… that is, the belief that each person owns their own life and property, and has the right to make their own choices for how to live their life… as long as you respect the same right of others to do the same, and do not negatively impact anyone else’s life through your own actions.

Of course I could be far off the mark… but you both seem to embrace all differences between people, and celebrate the way others choose to live their life… essentially a belief in freedom.

Khat is most potent within 48 hours of harvest, so not only is it more fresh, but the amount of Cathinone (the active ingredient in Khat) is far higher… after 48 hours it changes to Cathine which is less potent.

Unfortunately Cathinone is a ’schedule 1′ narcotic in the United States, as well as Europe (excluding Britain), and some illegal labs have created a synthetic form of the cathinone, called Methcathinone or Qat.

Personally I do not believe Khat should be illegal in any country, as it is part of a culture. Plus when you make something illegal, it is generally abused more so, and things like Methcathinone are created… which is purely synthetic and not ‘cultural’ at all.

We should all learn some lessons from Yemen… where an “illegal” drug is consumed on a daily basis and only strengthens their social and cultural bond. I admire this, and am jealous of Riku and Tunna (as always!!) for having experienced it. Western cultures should stop trying to control everything and let people make their own decisions. As long as their decisions do not negatively impact my life, it is none of my business.

Thanks for the write-up! Can’t wait for the DVD.

So weird that westerners would deem something sociably stimulating as evil and strange. You guys have to come back to my country! Nothing is scarier and more strange than the United States.
