    "content": "is a plant whose fresh leaves and soft twigs are chewed to release the juice containing cathinone and cathine. Miraa is a cash crop since is it planted and marketed for commercial purposes. It has deep root and cultural and economic importance to the community concerned particularly the producers. Any effort to regulate its production, sale and consumption will call for the involvement of key stakeholders, including the community, political and civic leaders. The Government is aware that the main challenge that farmers and traders of miraa are facing is that the local and international drug control agency is pushing for the ban and control of miraa consumption. To mitigate these challenges, the Government will form a taskforce to conduct an in-depth study on the production, sale and consumption of miraa. The taskforce will facilitate dialogue with the relevant stakeholders, including the affected communities and policy makers in order to come up with sustainable interventions."
