Even though khat is not specifically listed as a controlled substance
within the meaning of General Statutes § 21-243 (c) and the regulations,
"as a matter of statutory construction, khat may be deemed a controlled

cathinone and cathine." State v. Gurreh, 60 Conn. App. 166, 175,
cert. denied, 255 Conn. 916 (2000).
