Italy's financial police Guardia do Finanza, said in a statement Wednesday that authorities seized a 15.4 ton shipment of amphetamines reportedly produced by ISIS in Syria.

The police tracked three containers at the port of Salerno in southwest Italy and found around 84 million pills stored inside industrial paper cylinders, CNN reported. The estimated value of the drugs was around $1.12 billion, the largest amphetamine bust in the world by quantity and value, the statement said.

No, it would seem that they are drug dealers rather than users.

They want a drugged up America in order to make it an easily target. They figure no one will be able to look up and think of a precise defense against them while stoned. A plague should take them all!

That said, all this means is one gang turned in a rival...

Close anyway. But what’s half a ton when it comes to a bunch of pills?

What a lost opportunity, to replace these pills with an equal number doped with Fentanyl.

"The ISIS folks are tweakers too?"

The soldiers are often takers. This was a dealing bust.

Because they really are stupid enough to think that we are all that decadent and immoral to just take drugs if available.
