Re: What's that thing that somalis chew on?
It's called 'khat' and Somalis call it 'qaad' in their language. It's a plant whose leaves they chew to get high...and since it also causes loss of appetite, some use it to lose weight. WikiComment

Re: What's that thing that somalis chew on?
Yep its a drug although many try to "justify" it saying that they don't get affected. It is amongst those things that break down households etc etc etc
But all due to the lack of Islam i guess.
lol(The hypocrites) will call the believers: "Were we not with you?" The believers will reply: "Yes! But you led yourselves into temptations, you looked forward for our destruction; you doubted (in Faith); and you were deceived by false desires, till the Command of Allah came to pass. And the chief deceiver (Satan) deceived you in respect of Allah."57:14Comment

Re: What's that thing that somalis chew on?
Yes, Somalis pronounce it as qaad, Arabs pronounce it as qat, some choose khaat. However, it's a percentage of Somalis that are addicted to the drug, which surprisingly isn't actually cultivated in Somalia to begin with. It comes from Ethiopian farms and is also cultivated in Yemen, as Yemenis (not all) love it as much as Somalis.Comment

Have you seen the way somalis defend the use of khat even the 'sheikhs' eat itBy the morning brightness and by the night when it grows still, your Lord has not forsaken you [Prophet], nor does He hate you, and the future will be better for you than the past; your Lord is sure to give you so much that you will be well satisfied.
