The Law Firm of Richard Glen Boire
specializes in the defense of drug cases, especially those that involve
relatively esoteric plants like Catha edulis (aka Khat, Quat, Qat).
Richard Glen Boire was the first attorney
in the United States (and in the world as far as we know) to publish legal
arguments concerning the important legal distinctions between Khat plants
and their active principles cathinone and cathine. (See, 1 The Entheogen
Law Reporter 1-6 (Winter 1993), followed by 7 The Entheogen Law Reporter
59-68 (Summer 1995).)
While cathinone and cathine have been
placed in Schedule I and IV of the federal controlled substances act,
Catha edulis, the plant that endogenously produces these phytochemicals,
has never been expressly scheduled.
According
to the DEA, the plant is illegal because it is a "mixture" that
contains one or both of these scheduled substances.
If you or a loved one have been
arrested or charged with a Khat crime, we encourage you to retain our
law firm to assist in your defense. We can consult with your trial
attorney, locate and coordinate expert witnesses, and preserve all issues
in the event an appeal is necessary. (learn

If you or a loved one have been
convicted of a Khat crime, you may be able to retain us to handle your
appeal, or to seek other post-conviction relief. (learn

You will not find a law firm more
skilled or more dedicated to doing everything possible to resolve your
case in your favor. We guarantee you personal professional
attention.

confidential case evaluation. We will review the information and
