Interesting item on tonight's Channel 4 news about the Tories' announcement that they intend to criminalise khat if they get into power. I've heard some persuasive arguments from Somali constituents in support of a ban, although opinion is divided.

With drug and narcotic smuggling on the rise, it should definitely not come as a surprise to any of us that a Utah man was recently convicted of trying to smuggle African ‘Khat’ to the United States of America. He was held guilty of conspiring to import hundreds of pounds of this African drug to the mainland and got sentenced to 18 months behind bars for his effort.
