Not Illegal in Britain

Sir -- I have read an article titled "Fair trade farmers in Ethiopia" by an
anonymous author. Referring to khat, it has been implied that the use of
the herb in Britain is illegal. This is not true. Khat in Britain is not
yet covered under the Misuse of Drugs Act and thus its possession and
supply is perfectly legal. Consequently, khat is imported to Britain and
sold opely by greengrocers, specialist health food shops and "head shops".
Please don't scare those heavy consumers from your neighbourhood.
