  • beautiful gat

  • Its really funny what kinda silliness khat chewers say about chewing and how it makes them feel."it gives you energy" "it makes you more sharp""it brings people closer"....Well those who live with these people and work with them would tell you otherwise,how come these poeple dont speak of the paranoia that is so common amongst chewers,and the mental health problems which ensue.PLEASE BAN THIS IN THE UK

  • Laziest drug in the world,ironic its called a stimulant when it does the opposite.This kills intelligence and energy,what can a regular chewer contribute to his family,community and himself when he all that time chewing like a sheep.

  • THAT GIrL IS SEXY... I WANNA KISS HER

  • this has destoryed yemen somali and oter countires, men dont feed their children anymore they just want qaat, may allah destroy this evil

  • why is this drug not illegal to take?????

  • since when is the word "source" a verb? and i hate when reporters say, "meet so and so". it should be, "this is so and so", or "introducing so and so." you can only meet some one in person, not through a t.v. screen.

  • i want me some ethopian qaat

  • 03:10 : I was used to use exactly the same kind of car for my heroin/cocaine/crystal meth/grass and pot deliveries. A limousine was way too small...For the booze i used a tanker.

  • الصومال غزت اليمن.

  • @wajdi122 طيزك يا غبي

  • Like anything in excess, substance abuse - ie excess causes trouble. Obviously political/economic issues world wide - USA biggest user of cocaine but ''war on drugs'' rhetoric, building a fence against Mexico etc., doesn't change things. I imagine the EU will ban it once they've won their latest war. Nice bunch of guys in the film, very open and honest, I tried it and it was like grass, but I got stomach ache. There is a speedy element. I hope they don't get busted. Legalise it.

  • شو السالفة ليش مو مترجم

  • @ 0:34 he said cat LOLZ chewing catz

  • Yemen is in a sad state. Depressed, poor, weak and lost. 90% of men chew qat for an average of 5 hours a day. They have given up on life. Qat is their only escape from reality. Qat is also helping a nation die a slow death. My heart is in pain to think of my home country as a dying nation.

  • khat has no positive side, its all negatives. its drugs !

  • Embarrassing not cause they do it but because they let it lead thier lives. I love it but it doesnt dominate my life

  • its doesnt need banning....if it gets popular with white british kids you can garrente they will ban it

  • This is the shit man! My great grand parents have chewed it my grand parents and my whole omani community!!!!! There is nothing wrong with it...I have never heard of somalis, Ethiopians,Yemenis, Eritreans,kenyans or omanis die of cancer like them americans!!!! its just a plant that keeps you awake!!! And no matter what fucking dick head is gonna reply to my post.......am still gonna chew khat and reccomend it to pple who have never tried it!

  • @wahibah990 I agree 100% Am Somali British By the way lol Is not addictive I stopped chewing like a year ago :) after I joined the British Army ..

  • @wahibah990 I think you were high on qat when you wrote this comment loolz because you said you have never heard anyone dying for cancer who is from the qat chewing countries but Americans die for cancer; you are silly because Americans do have hospitals and medicine what do these countries do when someone get sick they get ready to burry him and they will never bather what caused the illness; keep chewing nucle head but keep in mind that you are killing yourself to death loolz

  • @wahibah990 Atleast fear Allah and enjoin good upon the people.

  • the places like the aden social club are place where LAZY men hang out and bitch about their lives and wives... while getting high!

    and these ppl call themselves muslims!

  • @hannaxyz123 oh please! This isnt a religious thing! Its just about khat! Dont be so prejudistic! Look at the individual and not the Isalmic pple as a whole......Christians too chew khat but its the individual not all christians!

  • I better go up north then, get me some.

  • it's sad to see all those muslims intoxicating themselves THIS IS HARAM !!!

  • now i understand why they are the poorest country in the Arab world... its a junkie nation!

  • @GearsFortune fuck you bitch the president never did anything for us america have 10 types of drugs and their not poor you uneducated fuck

  • @salehs313 Wow you are really quite eloquent with your english..... NOT!

    Dude you need some english lessons first, and second face the facts. THEY ARE THE POOREST COUNTRY IN THE ARAB WORLD... So I'm not the uneducated fuck. YOU ARE.....PS its Haraam so I'm only employing the islamic point of view. May God guide you to peace and prosperity.

  • I had used Qat 4 afew time and i kept it in my mouth for long time about 5 or 6 hours but i didn't feel anything . people who use or chew Qat are pretty imagined , unfortunately they think Qat helps them and makes happy or active .

    نــــــــــــاس متوهــــــــــــمــــه واللهي

  • funny I am awake and have no problem talking without it

  • Raghe thank you for saying with full mouth "MY HOME - SOMALIA"

  • it cant be that bad. but im sure the US will convince the UK to prohibit this evil addictive drug. Well if they do they can just fall back on healthy and safe beer and cigarettes

  • Anybody in the UK know of where I can get some?? Now that Methodrones illegal I gotta try some of this stuff. Midlands would be better ;-)

  • @ollylewin Mephedrone is a synthesised cathinone, and cathinone is the active ingredient in khat, but the two aren't really comparable in terms of modes of use. Khat is a ten hour mild high, whereas a line of mephedrone is a much bigger, faster, more efficient. I don't know if you're a psychonaut type or what, but don't bother with khat if you expect to get a quick intense high out of it. If you do take it, chew with some juicyfruit, as khat tastes awful at first.

  • @Reidsan Seems as though you summed me up quite well haha. Thanks for the insight mate, seems as though you know your stuff which is a rare occurance in my book! I'm going to try a bit just out of curiosity more than anything. I'll let you know how it goes :-)

  • omg Yemenis are worse than ethiopians jeez. and Yemenis look exactly like Habesha ethiopians! why???

    and that girl too looks habesha!

  • @ethiolove098

    Why are you Ethiopian Negroes so obsessed with us Yemenis?

    Listen you idiot monkey Ethiopian...We Yemenis don't look like Ethiopian Negroes.. Ethiopian are black African Negroes and we Yemenis are Arabs. White people!

  • viva somalia nd south yemen jsut the same ethiopians like dahabisha !!!!

  • @YemenBoi You are an embarrassment to Yemenis, Muslims and human beings in general. Who gives a crap about the skin colour of Yemenis vs Ethiopians? You might have less pigment but to the so-called 'white' world, you're still a brown skin. Muslims should stick together instead of splitting hairs over who is white, black or whatever the hell. Hell, people should stick together without caring about those things. Read a book.

  • @ethiolove098

    Take the Arab mirror test - if you see an African Negro man staring back , then you are Black African Negro.

  • @ethiolove098

    Are you a stupid person? that Yemeni girl is white NOT BLACK.... Get a life gorilla asshole!

  • @YemenBoi @YemenBoi 1st of all were not ubseesed with Yemeni people, why would we be ubsesed with poor arabs who chew on khat all day??

    and 2nd i said she looks habesha, not black, ethiopians are not negro blacks (Habeshas aren't), we are semetic... you atomatically type in ethiopian and you get a black person, Habesha's make up the 30% population who are not negro blacks, skin color deosnt justify a race.

  • @ethiolove098

    You are a fucking completely uneducated Negro, idiot, Semitic is a language group, not a racial or ethnic group, and you Ethiopians are 100% Black AFRICAN NEGROES, Ethiopian are closely related to Chimpanzees, Goriilas, Aap. Bonobo than Arabs,

    Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. what do you see? Ethiopian Negro or Arab?

  • @YemenBoi WOW your stupid, Amharic and Tigriania are both the main langauges of ethiopia that are semetic. Ethiopians speak a semetic language and are a semetic people?

    your too ignorant for me to explain to you.

  • @YemenBoi Wow is this the way to call people to Islaam? By using foul language and racism supporting the baa6il 'evolution theory' man what is wrong with you?

  • @YemenBoi hey Yemeni fag Ethiopia slaved you remember

  • Comment removed

  • @YemeniSerb another false ass troll i wish i cud catch you bitch boy come to memphis i wud whip ya ass even at the masjid

  • الله المستعان حتى في برطانيا مو تاركينه

  • they are high lool nice

  • wtf .. is this legal?

  • Kat is like coffee, its bullshit about it being addicitive. They got all the cool stuff over in Europe, Kat, Absinith..etc.

    Wow that one bundle of Kat alone she held up can last me for months! Thoese are some thick kat sticks, i would imagine one stick I would be bouncing off the walls.

    It shouldn't be illegal, at least it wasn't a few years ago.

  • a bundle of premium khat is like $6-10 in the UK. in canada and us it costs $80 due to prohibition

  • Its da same in Chicago...Only its like 25...but like 80 for fresh qat

  • this shit is a drug and i cant wait till it really hits america ......so i can get rich

  • Where is the best place to get this from in England? Mail order is terribly expensive!

  • It's actually becaus if the British tht is now allowed in south Yemen

  • IT'S ALLOW IN EVERY PART OF YEMEN

  • yeah but long time ago it was only allowed in north yemen but not in south..

  • u guys r damn lucky ,, we buy the small one with 20e ,,

  • The Qat chewers in Leicester are at it BIG TIME... members of my Family, who are East African Asian's, along with Somali's... They have massive Cafe's / Chill Out places where they get together all day... evryday.. boom at weekends..

  • Tried khat. It was about as strong as a few cups of coffee.

  • they are tolking like from the butt, cant hear anything...

  • khat makes men impotent, hopefully it will stop somalis breeding like rats and aadding to my tax bill, these yemenis seem alright though

  • Agree, you so right, i used to eat (mirkan) myself back in east africa.... after you eat this shit sex is in bottom of my list.

  • that was the shadiest shyt I have ever heard.Were you from?

  • how does that female presenter walk in a room full of men!!! shes a yemenia isnt she?

  • Unlike amphetamine, khat is bulky, which makes it self-limiting and prevents toxic psychosis by filling you up. It also contains cathinone, which is at strongest half the strength of amphetamine, and even then it's got more cathine which is half strength again. Because users take low doses at half the strength it doesn't make sense to compare it to amphetamine.

  • qat should be forbidden;;

  • qat is dirty

  • i can haz cat?

  • i wish we had more yemeni people over here - good people

  • thank you

  • Comment removed

  • Yemen in facing a water crisis right now. 50% of the water used in agriculture doesnt go to the food we eat; it goes to a plant called Qat. If the price of qat was federally regulated and sold for the same price as fruits and vegetables the economic situation in Yemen would alleviate and people would not starve. But this will never happen because of all the currupt tribal leaders and government agents profiting off this drug and using their blood money bribing officers and goverment officials.

  • mirqaamdotcom gangeeta bro allow the harari

  • يعووووووووووووووووووووووو

  • no comment

  • This is to husyem......... khat will always be in the arab and north african society it is not a drug it is like a medicine but if you take too much it becomes one.

  • mmmmn, you cant drink so you chew qat instead.....

  • this shit is good i eat it with my father theres nothing wrong with it after long week of work makes u feel u relaxed and shit

  • hi im from sheffield where can you get qat from in sheffield because i cant get it any where ???? please help me !!!!

  • khat is the shit man i like mine with a bag of ganja and a box of B&H

  • this video takes ages to load

  • US tryed closing down KhatChat doot com But now they have reopened about a week ago. You dont even have to login, just chat. HA in your face KHAT HATERS

  • khat doesnt make your teeth brown, lack of brushing, flossing, and excessive tobacco smoke makes your teeth brown.

    Nontheless, ghat is a negative impact on Yemens economic and developmental wellbeing. It will take years until enough young educated yemeni youths can combat this social drug. It is not part of Islam like peyote is to Native Americans, so it should be easily eradictated in the next century.

    It took China to turn to communism to eradicate its opium problem.

  • @husyem communism and the kicking the drug dealers (the British) out of their country

  • i dont chew kat you shmug and am a yemeni..but you cant just start talking about my homeland and you know nothing about it

  • Chill ...w haddi halak

  • omg are u seris r u nuts lol

  • yaselam, i love ethiopian khat how can i get it in bolten. shefild if far to me can you post it to me please.

  • I'd like to chew this while hitting the bong!

  • i love qat there is nothing wrong with qat my uncle been chewing since he was 13 now he is 77 and he feels great he got 3 sons one is getting his masters in business admin one has 5 corner stores and one is a teacher teaches fourth graders in NYC oh and his wife loves him so none of ya motherfuckers can tell me that qat is bad for you

  • Long-term use can precipitate the following effects: negative impact on liver function, permanent tooth darkening (of a greenish tinge), susceptibility to ulcers, and diminished sex drive. Those who abuse the drug generally cannot stay without it for more than 4-5 days, feeling tired and having difficulty concentrating.[15] Occasionally a psychosis can result. It resembles a hypermanic state in presentation.

  • saeed weyrah

    abubaker from das saying hi to you brother..enjoy qat in shefield...woooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooow.

  • graet story thnks aljazera tv

  • A vote winner if ever I saw one, if we had more Jamicans in the Uk weed would be legal.

  • I hate that Qat and I sure hink it is just so fucking bad to chew.

  • No body Can't ban the Qat/Khat It's Magic! you get me

  • Comment removed

  • khat has positives and negatives. It can become addictive over time.people must understand that although khat is not heroin, its not vitamin c either.

  • u really are uneducated,

  • There is no positive side with khat on the long term. Most of men who chew leave behind their wife and kids. In a world where everybody has a dream to become something, how do you think a little boy will see his father cheewing and beeing lazy 24/7, think and act?

    Chewers are in Denial - They are addicted to Khat and that is why they are defending it. It a like a storm for the socity , At least Somalis know that.

  • dat nigga anwar is funny ass......I flex my ass

  • u better do that mr flex ass hehehe

  • حرااااااام قوووة أبو يمن

  • أكتب عربي لو سمحت.

  • NEYAAAAAAAAAAT LAKOMMMMMMMMM

  • You subsitute all the particulars of this video with footage of American tobacco growing and smoking. It would be exactly as alarming IF WE WERE SANE.

    It's stupid to condone tobacco and alcohol and criminalize qat.

    End the INSANE war on drugs.

  • where ever there is american presence there is drug traffic. the islamic courts had eradicated the "qat", but the americans took out islamic courts and started the drug again. Same in afghanistan the Talibans had eradicated opium growth,the americans came started opium growing again. its the disease of americans, they dwell on nrcotics.

  • lo0olz sheffiled,,you guys should come to brimingham n see, omg the amount of somalies and yemenies that chew GAT.

  • Its disgusting...

  • u shud no haha 90% of yemeni men....

  • is this Qat like weed ? and what are they smoking towards the ending of the footage ?

  • Asalam Alaikum,

    At the end of the footage, the men are smoking an Arabic Tabaco, called Sheesha; it is allot like cigarette tabaco, but much heavier on the lungs, it comes in all flavors, apple, peach, cherry, etc, I think there are none flavored as well, Wa'Salam Most of the time you can find it in Egyptian shops, I have always found it in Egyptian shops in Seattle, as well as the Sheesha Pipes, the pipes the men where smoking from.

  • Some one ban it, in Somalia once banned for ten years at Eighties and showed great development in that part of eastfarica/red sea area, so why we don't banned again and we will have enough money to food hungrying 25 million ppl in that Area.

    It should be banned starting at developed western countries icluding UK islands.

  • Khat or chat causes dependence.I atually did a study on Khat Dependence and Its Sociodemographic correlations in East africa and there is proof that it causes Psychosis, Parnonia, Erectile dysfunction, Hypertension, Strokes, Chirosis, and Loss of Appetitie. IT IS A DANGEROUS DRUG FOR ANY SOCIETY

  • a pack of wasters who haven't got anything better to do except chew narcotic drugs, yeah man let's get high weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yeah babe now i'm high i can see through your bra, but my dick has shrunk

  • straight from Harar I can tell

  • That woman is looking good! Maybe I nned to go to the UK because we are not seeing the international thing here in the US!

  • Is that host Tiger Woods?

  • Seriously, why do some of you ignorant people keep saying KHAT it's QAT..& It's not effin drugs!!! You people need to chill for real !!!!!!! I've chew qat many times when I was back home...it doesn't do anything wrong to your body!! All these lies and crap is making Yemen look bad...Gosh.

  • Goes to show that fiends are al over the eath and even Islam fanatics can't stop it!

  • "even islam fanatics can't stop it!"

    why do you put them on a pedistel. They are just as likely to do wrong as anybody else.

  • khat is amazing i chew like twice or once a week, its amazing init, chilling, talking happy, relaxing, bare stories about back home and shit niggers getting all emotional on you, its great dont think its as bad as fags or crack or cocaine are u mad son its auesome

  • yeah.. bare stories and chit chatting.. hehe.. If you can control your life, keep the money coming in, and little flowing out. With spare time, and dont have wife and kids that really need 24/7 I see no problem in khat chewing. But I think a great dad would wait for chewing, atleast until the kids turn around 18.

  • qat is cracks brother cocains cousin...us yemenys know it but dont want to admite it...think about it cant sleep..cant eat..mad...talkative once on it untalkative after the session...come on now. and it is highly addictive..

  • sum1 help me...what shop in sheffield sells khat?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • Red Sea Cafe

  • the session looks like fun!

  • muawiyah4life

    watch you language son, if you are a good muslim you should not insult and use bad words like the one you have written.

  • srmw yemnyi

  • Ethiopian Qat is the best ... orignal Qat

  • I don't chew khat/Qat but the Miraa grown in Kenya is more expensive and has a better quality according to old time chewers.

  • the somali khat is a BOMB! maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

  • is there ani difference between this one and the somali one??

  • yemeny kat =clean and u can sleep right after u chew it

    somali kat = makes u stay awake. so if u have something to do like studying or u have a show to watch and ur falling sleep just chew somali kat to stay awake.

  • khat is very good I just wish it wasn't banned in america

  • she said "dressed up im my yemeni gear" that dabah doesnt know its a Muslim gear

  • LMAO, I have to say that was funny

  • yes wallah the qat is the problem for people

  • ech min problem ? a hazen al qat , achtahel couli ome,al fajr a goume , a lor bi chorl, ech min problem ,feno al broblem?

  • Khat is good for the mind. Chew it.

  • That comment of yours leads me to believe that you chew qat on a regular basis...it shows how good your mind is

  • I only chew about once a month at most

  • ma uncles is on that hes the 1 with the beige t-shirt in th ADEN place!!!!!!!

  • so many ppl in yemen have died from chewing qat that has cancer causing chemicals. About 20,000 ppl a year die from liver cancer in yemen. It should be banned all over the world, and no it is not like coffee its more like poison.

  • The reason why it is a cancer causing is because they use pesticides(most of the time)!!!; you know in yemen they barely or never clean there qat otherwise they would be fine. Unlike coffee or tea they don't pesticides in order for the protection and growth of their plants(sometimes).

  • boy please what kind of name is belvidere.

  • Yes I agree, it is a poison; it is poisoning our youth and holding us behind in the world. Qat consumes our men so much that they dont spend time with their families; they dont work; they dont read; they dont think...they just sit and chew, chew, chew like a bunch of cattle grazing in a field.

  • Nsah i understand where you're coming from. Qat is haram under certain conditions like what you mentioned, lacking time with family, education, work.

    And if it interupts 1 of the 3 the individual should immediatly cease mastication. On one case or another there are chewers who chew just for a gathering i.e.. me. Remember Nsah there are 2 types ADDICTS & SOCIAL GATHERS.  And in yemen mostly ADDICTS. They abused the drug where in the early 1900's it was chewed on special occasions.

  • This is my point exactly; you are now trying to make excuses in order to make HARAM flexible for you and others. Because you and others are not addicts does not make it halal. If I claimed that I only smoke maraijuana, or I only drink alcohol on special occasions/during social gatherings and I am not addicted to either one, does that make it halal, ie.not HARAM!???! NO of course not! Our "Muslim" countries are legalizing this stuff because they are addicted to it.

  • The very "President" of Yemen can not make it illegal because probably he's addicted to it himself!

    I know that there is no future for Yemenites as long as qat is around the way it is now. For God's sake, villagers are getting rid of food crops so they can grow qat!  Fathers don't have enough money to buy food for their children, but they always have enough for qat.

  • First and foremost Nsah is that yemen has the lowest crime rate in the world. Look at USA or UK or any other country that drink alcohol. Alcohol is an extreme problem in this society which creates problems, at least your husband isnt coming home beating you cause he's piss drunk. LIKE I SAID IT IS THE PERCEPTION YOU SEE AND HEAR, NOT FEEL

  • It probably has the lowest crime rate in the world because it is not all documented
