Israel's Ministry of Health and the Police have issued a severe warning to the public regarding "Khat Drops," a product marketed as natural but found to contain the dangerous drug methamphetamine. The warning, released jointly on Sunday, November 26th, highlights the identification of drug distribution disguised as legitimate sales.
Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of methamphetamine in the product. Authorities emphasized that this substance has a high potential for addiction and can be life-threatening, often exposing consumers to significant health risks without their knowledge. The ministry and police are urging the public to avoid purchasing any products derived from khat plants, including drops, drinks, and capsules, as these are prohibited by law for marketing, consumption, and production.
Both the Ministry of Health and the Police are calling on citizens to report any suspected marketing or distribution of these dangerous products to the authorities. This joint alert aims to prevent further harm and addiction associated with the illicit substances being sold under the guise of natural remedies.
