before i start ill have you know that i am not sober and i am not accountable for the actions of anyone who reads any of this content
khat/miraa is a plant which contains the mild stimulant cathinone which oxidises to cathine , cathinone may sound familiar to some of you as it is the nattrually occuring variant of the drug MCAT or methcathinone which is waht happens if you oxidise ephedrine instead of reduce it to methamphetamine , khat/miraa high(hehe) : the khat /miraa is chewed in the side of the cheek with gum (as i am currently doing, GUM IS A MUST) , the stimulant effects are subtle enough to enable even the first timer to keep it on the down-low yet powerful enough to bring even the most quiet person into a fast paced euphoric conversation . it is an ideal alternative to caffeine for bringing one out of a stony cannabis induced trance as it enables one to concentrate on mundane tasks with an enthusiasm and pay close attention to events happening around them. assessing the quality of miraa/khat : khats quality can be measured by a few methods - the bend test - when purchasing miraa always make sure to bend the stem of one of the sticks, if it snaps it is shit and you should immediately refuse to purchase the batch . -the eyeball- when observing khat/miraa one should look for full leaves and green stems , the stems may have a reddish tinge at the bottom , this is ok but if more than 1/10 of the bundle you are purchasing has red/purple hues on the stem going up more than a 1/4 of the length, refuse to purchase ,
haggling: if you are in the UK/or most other countries you are either buying from a somali or a kikuyu , the difference is that a somali will have some leeway with their prices provided you are not arrogant or aggresive (it is always good to give them an "asalaam alecum" to be respectfull ) a kikuyu is kenyan and all kenyans who arn't kikuyu(or a sub tribe of them) hate them - with good reason- kikuyus drive bargins that will make you want to pull your eyes out , they are extremely arrogant in their manner , the only way you will get a discount is by being extremely courteous and be a good customer yet always complain about prices until they give you a good discount
i digress
enjoying the khat experience : you will need
a) bottle of soda (2 liters per person)
b)many packs of your favourite gum
c) a good friend to talk(VERY IMPORTANT) to and some fun music
d) an empty stomach - eat atleast 5 hours before for energy) first take a leaf and put it into your mouth , chew the leaf , it will come to peices and make you feel like your tounge is peeling, it should taste slightly bitter (over time you will learn the differences in potency by taste) , now put the gum in your mouth with the leaf matter , the matter should be clumped into a ball and put in the side of your mouth and chewed like gum , sip your soda from time to time , you may swallow your leaf matter with the soda and gum if you are so inclined (i do occasionally ) but i like having something to chew whilst buzzed , the trick is not to focus on the flavor : the typical reaction to a person from the first world chewing it is to spit it out , that is why you must adopt the mind set of a somali -" i have no food so this grassy shit will have to suffice for now" - , continue to add leafy matter to your gum wad as it will slowly shrink as you sip your soda , the stems may be saved for later so you can strip the skins with your teeth , if your friend is with you you should start talking as soon as you feel even the slightest difference in mood , WARNING: DONT TALK ABOUT SUBJECTS THAT MAKE YOU ANGRY AT YOUR FRIEND
-dose and duration-
step one: open your right hand
step two: fill your hand with miraa , that is your dose for the night , miraa is a slow drug the duration of which starts 30 min after you start chewing(chew for the thirty minutes to pass time) and stops around about 2 hours after you stop .
-the /u/080997- remedy for plebs who dont like the taste : get miraa , put in blender , now have paste , get a table spoon and a nice sweet drink , put paste in mouth and chase with drink
prehaps the best description i use for the high is: like very strong coffee that gives you extreme verbal diarrhea and no comedown or after effects apart from cotton mouth and maybe an aching jaw no nausea is felt by me but the taste makes my homosexual friend feel sick but that is more down to him being an effeminate girlboy ,
tldr: is there a market on the dark net for this? sorry for uncoordinated spiel ive been up for a long time
A small one as a novelty item maybe. Most people into the khat scene already have a connection and people who aren't already users probably prefer "real" drugs.
