Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Khat, a plant native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, contains the stimulant cathinone, which can alleviate fatigue and decrease appetite. However, chewing khat has been associated with increased risk of death in those with heart disease. Salvia and skunk are not related to cathinone and do not have the same effects on appetite and fatigue.
