I was reading this article and saw this chart on the most harmful drugs to least harmful and I saw this drug called Khat. Has anyone ever heard of this or tried it? Apparently it's a controlled substance in United States and Canada but I've never heard of it before. What is it and why is it illegal? Also, is there anyone selling it on the darknet?
Cathinone in khat loses potency quickly.
If you reduce ephedrine, you get methamphetamine. if you oxidize it, you get the corresponding ketone - methcathinone. Its a waste of ephedrine compared to meth.
HOWEVER, if you add a methyl group to the 4-position of the benzene ring, you get 4-mthyl methcathinone - mephedrone, which is a great drug.
Buzzy like coke, but doesn't turn you into a jerk. Empathy like MDMA, but less halucinogenic.
