I think the UK is just protecting its people from future effects of khat....here no one really wants to talk about it..I understand that it can be processed to make a drug and 'good' as cocaine...

Amphetamine actually. The active ingredients in khat - cathinone, methcathinone and I think merucanthin or something like that - are structural analogues of amphetamine, a potent drug of abuse. Link for the news article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23163017
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

This has been in the news for too long now. Khat is big business, as part of perishable exports. What will happen to Meru farmers and cartels since the somalia market is well supplied.

China's population is 21 times that of UK. I think we should teach them how to chew miraa as they are building roads at night.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
