Those who love tea should be careful. It is reported that a new type of drug called "Khat" has spread in China's underground drug market since 2013.
The scientific name of "Khat tea" is "chat grass", which looks like tea. It is also called Qiaocha, Yemen tea, Arabic tea, Ethiopian tea, etc. It is produced in East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It is native to Ethiopia in tropical Africa. It uses leaves. To make tea or make wine.
Chattergrass can be chewed directly like lettuce. If the chattergrass is dried, it looks like tea leaves, but whether it is eaten raw or sun-dried and powdered, the effect after consumption is almost the same as heroin. The effects are amazing and addictive.
Is Chattergrass a drug?
Because the leaves of Chattergrass are very similar to tea leaves after being dried, it is also called Arabic tea. Many people in the people regard Arabic tea as a new type of drug. In fact, Arabic tea refers to the tea from the Arab region, such as Tuocha, black tea and desert lime tea.
The "Catalogue of Psychotropic Drugs (2013 Edition)" implemented in 2014 has officially included Chategrass. The relevant regulations of my country's "Criminal Law" clearly stipulate that other psychotropic drugs controlled by the state that can cause people to develop addiction belong to the category of drugs. At present, the World Health Organization has classified Chattergrass as a type II soft drug, and many European countries and the United States have also classified it as a stimulant or a controlled drug and prohibits its import and use. In 2013, my country included Chate Grass into the scope of the drug crackdown. Planting, possessing, selling, or consuming chate grass are all illegal and criminal acts. Therefore, it is illegal to grow Chattergrass just like you grow other drugs. Buying and selling chhat grass is the drug trade.
Chattergrass has the effect of boosting the spirit. It can be chewed or dried and ground into powder. However, the stems and leaves of Chattergrass contain cathinone, which will be decomposed into phenylpropanol and norpseudoephedrine, which has obvious structure and stimulant. The effect of amphetamine is similar to epinephrine. The exciting ingredients it contains can stimulate the human central nervous system, make people excited, and addictive. It is a soft drug. Many Western countries explicitly prohibit the inflow of Chattergrass.
In East Africa and Arabia, there has been a habit of chewing the buds and leaves of Chattergrass since ancient times, and the history can be traced back thousands of years. The reason why people there like to chew Chattergrass like chewing gum is because it can resist hunger and fatigue. Modern studies have shown that the stems and leaves of this plant contain exciting cathinone, which is harmful to the human body. The effect is similar to the psychoactive drug Amphetamine, which is amphetamine.
When chewing Chattergrass, the exciting ingredients in it will stimulate the central nervous system of the human body. People will become particularly talkative and excited, making people feel clear and energetic, and feel that they can do everything in the world, but After the retreat of the medicine, most chewers feel depressed, their logic is confused, and they don't want to do anything.
