There are concerns about the effects of khat on health, including:

* Sleeping difficulties
* Loss of appetite
* Depression and anxiety
* Mood swings
* Hallucinations
* High blood pressure
* Oral infections
* Sexual problems, including impotence
* Exacerbating pre-existing mental health problems
* A longer-term risk of development of mouth cancers

There are also social consequences of khat use, including:

* Family difficulties or breakdown
* Domestic violence
* Economic difficulties as a result of expenditure of family income
* Keeping jobs and remaining in education

Yet the government is happy to provide guidelines and help, while criminalising users of cathinones.

Don't worry, once the Daily Mail gets onto khat they'll ban that too.
