- soundwave106 10y agoYep! See http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/21cfr/cfr/1308/1308_11.htm http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/21cfr/cfr/1308/1308_11.htm under (f) stimulants, cathinone is there. Technically, barring any sort of breeding modification I doubt was done, those Catha Edulis plants in the US botanical gardens are quite illegal, being a "material" that contains cathinone. Now, in practice, of course, no one is going arrest the Architect of the Capitol for growing Schedule I plants on their property for ornamental reasons. Heck, San Pedro cactii already set a murky, not-quite-defined precedent for this (https://erowid.org/plants/cacti/cacti_law1.shtml https://erowid.org/plants/cacti/cacti_law1.shtml). Then again, despite the relative obscurity of khat, there have been a few cases where people have been arrested for cultivating the plants. Such as this case here in 1998 -- http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Prunedale-Man-Charged-in-Seizure-of-1-076-Khat-2977547.php http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Prunedale-Man-Charged-in-... Of course, in that case, the arrestee's name was Musa Ahmed Gelan, not Stephen T. Ayers. So it goes.
