    Cocaine is directly cardiotoxic, ie, kills or impairs cardiovascular cells and caffeine is not/doesn’t.

    Khat can cause vascular problems and damage the heart by effects cause by the former, but it isn’t directly toxic to cardiac cells. Big difference. I’d rather chew Khat leaves my entire life than coca leaves. Its not that cathinones are saint level healthy but atleast it doesn’t damage the heart at any amount like cocaine holding products do
