Khat in Kiribati: not individually verified

Also known as: qat, miraa, quaadka

We have not confirmed that Khat specifically is scheduled in Kiribati, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record

Not confirmed. Neither khat nor the names cathinone and cathine are printed in any list read, so no entry exists to quote for the leaf, a preparation of it, or either named substance. The Poisons List Part I page 28 entry 'Amphetamines (beta-aminopropylbenzene and beta-aminoisopropyl-benzene).' does not name them, and whether it reaches them is open and is not claimed. Absence from the schedules read is not a finding that khat is uncontrolled: the Minister may modify Schedule 2 by order under section 13(2) (page 8), the Secretary may add to the Poisons List by order under section 53(3) of Cap. 70, and no order made under either power was read. The Dangerous Drugs Ordinance was read as in force in the 1977 Revised Edition as amended to the Acts of 1995 and 2001, and this text does not rule out a later amendment or a later order under section 13(2).

Confirm directly with Kiribati’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
