Khat in Paraguay: not individually verified

Also known as: qat, miraa, quaadka

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that Khat specifically is scheduled in Paraguay, 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. This substance was not found in Paraguay's controlled substance schedule as at December 2025, and the search did not settle whether it is controlled by another route. The khat plant is not named anywhere in the schedule, and Catha edulis returned nothing.

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

What Paraguay HAS confirmed for related substances
