this is "khat", illegal all over the world except Eastern Africa. i haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking about it, add another "notch" to my inventory of used drugs. lol. I've read it's a stimulate somewhere between coffee and cocaine. Causes hallucinations. Using it in Kenya is no big deal, nobody cares. in the USA it's considered to be the same level as heroin, I guess. I did find a news article about a woman who was busted trying to bring 54 kg of it into Canada. She "won" her court case by saying, although it's illegal here there is no proof that it is harmful to anyone.
