Alcohol isn't any better.

what a load of hassle over a drug that has less effect than alcohol or a can of red bull. Its to late to ban the drug they are even selling it on KhatChat.com so...

drop a bomb in Libya and you traumatize far more people than Khat does, you think playing scary music works, Scare mongering - well lets see what scientists have found.. go to wiki page of Professor David Nutt - scroll down to government position, and witness this docu-tainment seeming more hilarious and stupid, rather than serious and truthful.

Tobacco is a far more powerful and addictive stimulant drug than Khat...

Add that to the list of things to ban, Oh and Cake... That makes people happy too.

Why don't they ban alcohol as well... it is creating so much problems.

Sky News is the Fox news of the U.K. Ban any and all pleasure(like the movie 1984). A drug doesn't MAKE a person do anything, it's the person that makes the decision. Like banning guns lowers murder rates, yeah right, go tell that to all that lost loved ones in third-world countries.We need less regulation not more..sigh, some people WANT to get herded(or allow themselves to be herded, like animals). There's a corporation behind every policy change people (in this case Big Pharma), sad.
