Cathine or Cathinon or simply Katy in Malagasy. These are these soft drug leaves whose effect is nevertheless close to amphetamines. We love it, especially in the north of the island where people are almost dependent on it without knowing the harmful effects. This wave of Katy consumption has started to reach the Capital. Sellers are beginning to swarm in the neighborhood of the 67-hectare city. Last Tuesday, three people were arrested following a police operation based on the grievances of neighborhood residents. After being referred to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, these people were immediately placed under arrest warrant for trade and possession of psychotropic substances. An unexpected situation for this type of trade which is carried out in full view of everyone, not under the radar, and which consumers think is legal. An awareness campaign is needed on this subject.
