It&#8217;s already having a massive social impact: &#8220;difficulty in sleep, irritability, up to severe psychosis and we also saw some cases of schizophrenia in people chewing khat&#8221;. But just as worrying is the impact it is having on the country&#8217;s resources, which is turning dangerous as farmers give up growing food in favour of khat. According to some estimates, the amount of locally grown food has dropped from 95% to just 8% in recent decades, alongside a worrying drop in the water table to irrigate the growing plants. The group &#8216;Khat Free Nation&#8217; is making a stand against the drug, but in a country so hooked, even they wonder whether anyone will be able to turn the concerns into action. &#8220;It&#8217;s over, brother, the whole population chews.
