khat (countable and uncountable, plural khats)

  1. A shrub, Catha edulis, whose leaves are used as a mild stimulant when chewed or brewed as tea; also a drug produced from this plant.

    • 1967 July 9, Lawrence Fellows, “East Africa Turns On With Khat”, in The New York Times[1], →ISSN:
      They are chewing on khat, a small serrated, bitter leaf with remarkable stimulative properties. [] One of the great things about khat [] is that after a good chew you need to do something—walking, running, chopping wood, vigorously reciting a poem, throwing a grenade, anything that requires boldness and physical initiative.
    • 1974, Lawrence Durrell, Monsieur, Faber & Faber, published 1992, page 31:
      Of course he was an amateur of quat – hashish – which delighted the cops.
    • 2004, Khushwant Singh, Burial at Sea, Penguin, published 2014, page 25:
      ‘And skinny Arab beggars who chew qat all day long to kill their appetites and get high on the weed.’
    • 2011 May 24, Jay Bahadur, “Somali pirate: 'We're not murderers… we just attack ships'”, in the Guardian[2]:
      Habitually munching on narcotic leaves of khat, they are easy enough to spot, their gleaming Toyota four-wheel-drives slicing paths around beaten-up wheelbarrows and pushcarts.
