Abstract
Khat is a benign substance with an excellent medical
safety record. The paper by Corkery et al. seeks to
present it as a ‘killer drug’ but can only do so by
redefining the term drug related deaths from one of
causality to a loose association. In the process,
scientific rigour is sacrificed and both the evidence
on khat use as a cause of harm, and khat as a
culturally integrated psychoactive substance, are
grossly misrepresented
