Fun new drug

It's from the Middle East, it's chewable and it's illegal. It's khat (rhymes with "shot"). Strangely enough, it seems the drug is widely unknown in the U.S., but is treated as any other illegal drug, in most of the rest of the world, it's mostly accepted.

There's nothing particularly amusing about this, other than the fact that it seems to be popular with cab drivers. The good news there is that when you mispronounce their name they'll be too stoned to correct you.
