Khat: drug crop from East Africa!
I have been cultivating this plant in my garden for fun. It provides a euphoric narcotic effect when the new shoots are chewed. The tiny winged seeds are released when the pods dry, they are much smaller and flatter than cannabis seeds. Can post pics of the actual plant if folks are interested, already some pics at my IG account!

compared negative effects of various rec drugs, heroin the worst and the least? khat! even less than cannabis occasional use seems safe, long history of use

Ok I was told by an East African person that Khat is not narcotic but nootropic which means it is a cognitive enhancer, cant verify this info though.
It can grow into a small tree, but the idea is to top it as much as possible so it takes the form of a rounded shrub. the glossy new shoots contain the stimulants and are the parts that are chewed. |

FYI folks, it's leaves are illegal in USA. Another plant with a ton of medical potential and general feel-good potion deemed evil by our big brother.
