why is khat used
If the Police catch you with khat, theyâll always take some action. This could be a police warning, a Â£60 penalty notice, or arrest and possible conviction. Having khat for your own use (called possession) could result in being arrested and facing up to two years in prison and/or an unlimited fine. Selling khat or giving khat away for free, even to friends, (called supplying) could result in up to 14 years in jail and/or an unlimited fine.
