Ccat, Qat, Khat defamation not supported by science

Post by Dama » 14 Sep 2024, 16:19

Most entertainment consumables come with certain health risks plus crimes at the same time they are elements of the national economy. For example:

1. Cigarettes, addictive nicotine forming habit, lung congestion in long term use, smell and appetite loss. A regulated business. Revenue source for individuals and gov.

2. Alcohol, addictive, high cholesterol, thought-alteration, poor judgement, unhinged, erratic and emotional behavior, associated with crimes and car accidents. A regulated business. Revenue source for individuals and gov.

3. Cocaine, deadly to the user and individuals related to the addict. Theft, burglary, prostitution, suicides, homicides. Illegal. Underground economy. Not taxed. Only the criminals benefit from it.

4. Ccat, Qat, Khat. Its effect on human body has been compared to the effect of coffee. Just like coffee, appetite and loss is attributed to it. Not mind-altering, not judgement influencing as alcohol or cocaine or cannabis
A regulated business. Taxed and a source gov revenue.

The news of terrorist Fano banning Ccat, Qat in Arabic, by stopping a a mini-bus, without prior announcement of a shifta decree, without any respect for private property an individual doing business that is legal in Ethiopia, is a crime the bandit group should held to account and pay the entrepreneur for his losses.

So if a drug dealer comes to your neighborhood and the police take away the drug and burn it would you tell the police to repay the drug dealer?

My lord you are such a brainless head

The police would be enforcing a law. Growing and sale of Ccat, Qat is legal, has forever been legal in Ethiopia. If Ethiopian laws do not apply in the cursed lands of tiny Agews controlled by Fano, they have to codify new law, announce it to the public about it,give a period of time after which they would enforce their law.
What they did in the video, if it's real, is injustice, thuggery, a real explainer to their nature of lawless shiftas.

You, Noble Agew, so a retard low IQ moron, have no idea about which you say.

Would you say the millions of families who are victims of this destructive and relatively new culture have representatives that legislate laws?

Always, in public policy, review complaints, gather scientific evidences, consult communities and secure consensus, then draft a law. Debate the proposed law. Majority vote makes it a law. In lawless lands controlled by bandits, not surprising this happened. Innocent people suffer. But, if Fano claim they are people's liberators; Amara has endured similar injustices.

No scientific evidence that ccat(Qat) is more addictive than Coffee is. UK and US scientists studied the plant and compared its effect after consumption to that of coffee. It's legally sold as cigarettes and its closest match coffee. Deadlier beverages are also legal substances sold such as tej, tella, areqi, beer, whisky, vodka.

Muslims, Christians, Jews in Israel and yemen chew khat. Its no doubt addictive, as its mild effects but less destructive than tejj, areqi, rum or whisky.
Control your consumption of it. Don't overdose.

do you at least support some restrictions? like age limits, qat free zones, ban selling across regions?

would you support high sales tax to cut consumption and use the tax revenue for education and health care of affected communities?

I would first support education, and counselling services for addicts, rather than punitive measure because its not as dangerous as tobaco or alchohol or drugs.

There are many fun things that cause dependence such casino games and sport bettings. Harmless enough to the larger society to make them illegal. Only education and counselling will troubleshoot the problem than criminalizing the addicts.

Most probably, Fano supporters will be saddened than withdraw their support for it. I wouldn't know.
Few dumb supporters who associate Ccat with Islam, they would be elated. These kind of characters are very negligible minority.
Some, ignorant of the science on side effects of Ccat, may like the restricted use of it but condemn for the arbitrariness and illegality of this 'seize and destroy' action of a private property protected by law by an individual wearing a military uniform.

I hope it's fake.
