More about the programme

Traditionally used by some in the Yemeni and Somali communities in the UK, khat is a leafy plant that has a stimulatory effect when chewed.

Μύ

Back in 2012, Eye on Wales visited Butetown in Cardiff to canvas the opinions of community leaders and users on calls to classify khat under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

The drug was subsequently outlawed in 2014 and this week presenter Selma Chalabi returns to the streets of the capital to find out what impact the ban has had.
