The word “Catha” typically refers to Catha edulis, a plant native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The leaves of this plant are known for their stimulant properties and are often chewed for their psychoactive effects, similar to those of amphetamines due to the presence of chemicals like cathinone and cathine. The use of khat, which is derived from Catha edulis, is culturally significant in some regions but is regulated or banned in others due to concerns about health effects and addiction.
