Khat and life in NYC

Substances: Catha edulis


This is not exactly a trip, and khat is definitely not an entheogen. That having been said, the first experience was very satisfying. I would call it a mind enhancer.

Quality of experience: Steadiness. Feet on the ground kind of experience. Enormous reserves of patience discovered. Quiet lucidity, not transcendent, subtle but undeniable. Cuts through the speediness of daily mind. It is how I imagined coca leaves would be.

Source: Any Yemeni restaurant in your area should either have it or tell you where to find it.

Method: Place bunch of leaves in cheek. Nibble away. Spit out when you have to, swallow when you have to. Repeat. Keep on doing that for several hours.

Price: $20 - $30 per bundle. Must be fresh and mildly aromatic. One bundle enough for two people.
