Qat (pronounced cot), also referred to as khat, quatt, kat, and tchat (in Ethiopia), is a leafy narcotic popular in certain areas of Africa and, more recently, Britain.(1) Qat, from the Catha Edulis tree, originated in Ethiopia and spread to Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Arabia, the Congo, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Madagascar, South Africa and Yemen. Yemeni qat is the most often discussed, and reportedly of greater quality than that from other places, in part, due to the high terraces on which it grows in Yemen. Other reports suggest Kenyan and Ethiopian qat is equally good due to the "loose volcanic soil" found in those countries.(2) When chewed, qat leaves produce feelings of euphoria and stimulation.
