Somalia-Ethiopia announces measures to curb illegal Khat trade
September 28, 2008 - mareeg.com
 Ethiopia,Adisababa-The Ministry of Trade and Industry issued a public notice stating the toughening of measures on illegal traders of Khat, a mild herbal stimulant, across towns and localities into Djibouti or Somalia.
The public notice signed by minister Girma Birru said no one is allowed to enter across border areas up to 50 kilometres into Djibouti or Somalia carrying Khat to sell.
It said the amount of Khat allowed is not more than a kilogram per person. The public notice is effective as of Friday 26 September.
Those Khat exporters should bear customs, bank and other formalities on their Khat freights so that it would enter or shipped via the reported regions, the public notice said.
It said the Ethiopian army, customs and federal police have been entrusted with the task of enforcing the public notice.
It said the amount of Khat consumption at towns and localities across these border areas would be determined in the future and publicized.

I understand that khat is a euphoric stimulant, but i wonder how it compares to cocaine and amphetamines.

In the cultures that use khat, it is more compared to coffee than to more powerful drugs like cocaine and amphetamines. As with any substance, moderation is key.
