British Somalis dread ban of ‘herbal high’ khat

“When Britain bans the herbal stimulant khat, Mohamod Ahmed Mohamed will lose his livelihood. But he fears most for his small Somali community without the leaf that fuels its social life.  ‘I can switch to another business but what about the youth, where are they going to go — the street, the mosque, to hard drugs?’ he says at his khat warehouse near London’s Heathrow airport.  ‘You are taking away their freedom. Why target us? You will never find somebody falling over on the street or fighting from khat like they do when they are drunk.’ Mohamed supplies khat to many of Britain’s 100,000 Somalis, Ethiopians and Yemenis, for whom chewing the bushy shrub is as normal as going to the pub.”
