Ezekiel 47:12 "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
Quick disclaimer: This blog is not intended to glorify drug use, nor is it meant to encourage illegal behavior. Khat seeds can be purchased in the US as collector items. They're not legal to grow. Always use a VPN, get a dumb phone, and change your phone often to avoid illegal/legal surveilance by socialist in the US government pretending to be authority figures. They want to steal your property, and your medicine, and help theirselves to it because they feel entitled. They're using something called metasploit in kali linux to hack phones and watch your camera, and listen to your microphones, and monitor internet traffick. They can track you via GPS as well. I want Americans to protect theirselves from fascist government socialist pretending to be real Americans.
What is Khat? Khat is an ethnobotanical narcotic stimulant, and no it is NOT laced. It's similar to kratom and coffee. It produces euphoria, makes people feel good, makes people social, and makes people nicer (while they're on it at least). Those are a observatory set of claims, that's why I didn't cite them. Khat was banned in 1993 by socialist in the US government[2] to prevent Americans from having access to safe, natural, and critical medicines that God gave us all. Then drug-cooks(chemist) free-based the active phytochemical, and chemically converted it into what we know as "bath salts".[x]
Ethnobotanicals are plants that are prized and utilized by various cultures for various reasons, including recreational, medicinal, and religious.[4] A lot of people have a really hard time wrapping their head around how a plant could be psychoactive and NOT BE LACED, but that is because they're uneducated on the matter. "k2" was laced with a synthetic cannabinoid, HOWEVER: There are tens of thousands of plants that produce pharmacological phytochemicals.[4][7] Coffee produces caffeine, Marijuana produces THC, Tobacco produces nicotine, and the list goes on. Plants that produce narcotic effects are medicine, and they're the target of prohibition due to the fact that serpent medical corporations(drug companies) seek to turn them into pharmaceuticals, like they do with opioids from the poppy flower or ephedrine used in cold medicine that comes from ephedra sinica;[4][7] or over the counter fortune 500 products so they can get rich off of you and taint the medicine. Drug companies and chemist take safe plants, and turn them into dangerous pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately police don't and can't think for theirselves or at all, and will blindly go along with whatever the people behind their five pointed star false god says. They're far too submissive and can't think for theirselves, and do what other men want and command of them, and not what they think is best or what God wants.
Is Khat Safe? If not abused or used while pregnant, Yes. A medical rule known as the Arndt Schultz rule tells us that any substance that's a medicine, is toxic in high enough dosages, and any poison in small enough dosages has medicinal properties believe it or not.[8] Arndt Schultz rule dictates how substances behave, and it states that small doses stimulate, moderate doses inhibit, and large enough dosages kill.[8] With the Ardnt Shultz law in mind, we can see that khat can be beneficial or detrimental to health, depending on whether it is used properly, or abused, and the science on how the herb works, tends to back this up as well. The department of justice website is making bold bogus claims about Khat that are totally untrue and not backed by anything. Here's that link: https://www.justice.gov/archive/ndic/pubs31/31482/index.htm Here are some of their bogus claims with zero backing: "Khat abuse causes psychological dependence, and chronic abuse can lead to behavioral changes and mental health impairment. Clinical symptoms include manic behavior with grandiose delusions, violence, suicidal depression, and schizophreniform psychosis characterized by paranoid delusions. Chronic abuse can also produce physical exhaustion, anorexia, periodontal disease, and gastrointestinal illness" Notice that justice.gov and DEA.gov never cite a single source when they say stupid crap like what they spewed on that link I just shared. The DEA has been as bold as to claim that Kratom causes hallucinations, and kratom users across the globe KNOW that this is UNtrue. They're brainwashing Christians and Jews and using them as flying monkeys. The potential negative effects that Khat may or may not induce can easily be avoided, and I can assure you that it doesn't do what those claims on the justice departments website claims that it does. Khat is a stimulant, so if you have heart issues avoid it(same with Coffee, Khat, Cocaine, Meth, or any other stimulant)! Exercise common sense but don't blame botanicals when you do something stupid. There are always idiot sheep who repeat lies they hear everyone around them spewing, and they slander God and claim that all ethnobotanicals are "bad", especially if they produce euphoria(aka psychiatric medicine). Drugs that produce highs are medicine too. You can find insane amounts of contradictory claims in regards to Khat, its safety, and effects. Note that the DEA website is the last place you want to go to learn about a drug. The DEA knows as much about drugs as the Sesame Street Crew knows about quality entertainment.
As far as using it while pregnant, you should NOT do it just to be safe, as any type of drug can be bad for your child. One scholarly source states that: "Detailed studies on the effects of khat on reproduction are lacking. However, the limited available data reveal that chewing of khat has a negative impact on human reproductive health"[9] What is this really saying though? It says that research is lacking, but then it goes on to state that "limited available data" shows that khat has a negative impact on reproductive health. It looks like they through the word "limited" in there to down-play it. but then it goes on to state that "Khat is genotoxic and has teratogenic effects on the foetus if regularly consumed by pregnant mothers"[9] which is more of a bold and definitive statement, and serious at that. Why this sort of back and forth with the conclusion then? "Detailed studies are lacking", so only limited studies are available? On the one hand, it makes it sound like the author is unsure of what they're about to tell you, and on the other hand it seems as though they're trying to down-play the truth. Which is it? The source goes on to end with "the precise mechanisms by which khat may affect the male reproductive physiology have not been elucidated.[9] It's just one back and forth contradictory statement after another. They make it sound certain in one statement, and down play it in the next. I don't care for academic sources that offer this sort of back and forth, paper-clip abused wording and uncertainty, as they often tend to covertly induce a diabolical state of cognitive dissonance.
What The Science Says About B.S. Government Claims: Well we know that the phytochemical that scientist believe produces the majority of Khat's psychoactive properties is called cathinone[6], and its chemical structure is simliar to that of amphetamines. However, a chemical's structure being similar to another doesn't necessarily mean anything about its nature, effects, or potential health concerns, as there's an LSD-like phytochemical produced by marigolds[4], yet the marigold plant produces no psychoactive effects what-so-ever. This is a common method that socialist use to convince people of things that are not true. Another example is how DMT(an illegal psychedelic), is strikingly similar to tryptophan, an essential amino acid.[5] However, the amino-acid known as tryptophan, does NOT get you high.[5] Let's squash the first lie that Khat is a hallucinogen(this is a common lie made about certain plants as a marketing ploy). Khat does NOT cause hallucinations, as it is a stimulant[x], not a psychedelic, not a deliriant, and not a hallucinogen. If the justice departments claims about "violence" and "grandiose delusions" being side effects of Khat abuse are correct, then the majority of the people in Africa, Yemen, Arabia, Ethiopia and other areas where it is chewed daily, should meet these descriptions, but do they? Here is a short documentary on Khat use In Yemen. Socialist in the government lie when they want to ban an ethnobotanical, so they can have it for theirself, and turn it into drugs(pills and research chemicals). While it is not realistic to compare cathinone produced by khat to methamphetamines, cathinone produced by khat is still a stimulant that offers euphoric effects as well.
One study illustrates that depending upon the dosage and whether or not is it consumed long term, it can be beneficial, or harmful. It's neither one nor the other, but whichever you make it. It should be used responsibly. In regards to the study that I just mentioned, it compares the effects of longterm hardcore use, with softer, not so long term use. Heavy consumption is said to be associated with genetic damage, according to multiple studies.[11][x] This is a unqiue ethnobotanical in this sense, as most of the more common ones like cannabis, kratom, etc, are generally beneficial, and do not have the same potential to be toxic like Khat does. Remember that anything beneficial can be harmful in large doses, and anything harmful can be beneficial in small doses, and this rule is known as the Ardnt Shultz rule.[8]
Khat Health Benefits & Pharmacology: There's not enough Americans blogging about this illegal ethnobotanical (FYI: Khat seeds are legally and easily obtainable online! and ship to the USA all day long baby!) I wanted to be the first to actually cite academic sources on the subject. Khat produces the following pharmacological properties: anti-inflammatory effect, antidiabetic, anticancer, immunomodulatory and increased improvement in respiratory diseases.[1] Another scholarly source confirms that Khat produces hypoglycemic effects.[3] Hypoglycemic drugs are used to lower blood sugar levels.[?] Khat only seems to be active when used fresh, as the dried plant is said to be virtually useless.[10]
Phytochemicals produced by the Khat plant: Phenylalkylamine compounds (alkaloids) such as norpseudoephedrine (cathine), and alpha aminopropiophenone (cathinone). Khat leaves also contain considerable amounts of tannins (7%-14% in dried material), vitamins, minerals and flavonoids.[10]
America Didn't VOTE to ban Khat The American people did not vote to ban Khat.. Instead, the prohibition of khat was done so covertly by socialist without our permission. America is a free country that the people decide what they want. The American government was originally setup to be about fairness and equality, and now socialist in the government are ignoring the will of the people and rigging things for their own benefit and everyone elses demise. These socialist groups are the freemasons, neo nazi's, and satanic temple, and they gotta go. Stop going along with everything the government says and does and oppose them when they're guilty and call them out on their lies, b.s., gaslighting, and un-American behavior. Here are some government links on Khat: Keep in mind when the DEA website tells you about a drug, it is NEVER accurate. They straight up LIE, bold face, and fail to cite any academic sources to confirm their claims. None, what so ever. NOTE: The seeds of Khat are not illegal and ship to the USA all day long! Here is a link to purchase them: https://silverhillseeds.co.za/product/catha-edulis/ I'm not affiliated with the shop nor do I get paid by them for the reference.
Here is Bouncing Bear Botanicals KHAT PAGE on the internet archive's that proves they were selling Khat seeds for most of their operation. Even after the DEA barged in, they were never charged with posession of khat or ibogaine because the seeds nor the bark are illegal, only the free-based drugs theirselves are illegal. Bouncing Bear's case proves it. The government didn't charge them because they coulnd't charge them. Khat seeds are legal, and Iboga bark is legal(seeds too), and plants.
