ISIS fighters have been using a drug called Captagon, dubbed “chemical courage,” to stay alert in battle.
What is Captagon?
Captagon is a psychostimulant which is made of a combination of amphetamine and theophylline.
It is just one brand name of a group of drugs known as Fenethylline.
The drug came into the mainstream in 1961 and was used for around 25 years as a milder alternative to amphetamines.
It was used to treat kids with ADHD and, less commonly, for narcolepsy and depression.
Unlike amphetamines, Captagon does not increase the patient’s blood pressure – meaning it could be used to treat those with cardiovascular conditions.
However, it is highly addictive – and became illegal in most countries in 1986.
You’d struggle to get your hands on it in the US but Captagon is a popular recreational drug in the Middle East.
It’s made cheaply, with a street value of between $5 and $19, in countries including Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria. Fake versions of the drug are also widely available.
In October 2015, Prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz, of Saudi Arabia and four others were arrested in Beirut on suspicion of drug trafficking.
Two tons of Captagon pills and some cocaine were allegedly found aboard a private jet scheduled to fly to the Saudi capital of Riyadh.
Suicide bombers, like Manchester terrorist Salman Abedi, are said to be pumped full of drugs before they are sent on a mission, giving them red eyes and a distinctive look of confusion.
The drug turns the terrorists into “unforgiving killing machines,” Arab News reports.
The drugs often leave extremists suffering from a crippling addiction, further boosting their reliance on their cruel jihadi masters.
According to reports, a growing number of demoralized Syrian citizens have also resorted to taking the drug.

Just like their American buddies, the DNC, their MSM and voters!
Cart in front of horse there.
Or drop them in front of an Antifa rally.
*slam does that to them too.
Your news of you and your friends requirements have lightened my heart this day. Thank you, my FRiend.
What makes ISIS dangerous isn't what drugs they take, it's what the first initial 'I' in their name stands for.
A form of this is given by doctors in the US to young boys with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. It is no wonder we have school shootings when this killer drug is widely given. That’s why the military does not accept recruits who have taken these drugs in the past. They, along with the opioids, prescribed by doctors and sold by the billions by Big Pharma, have destroyed thousands of lives.
Wait a tick! Isn’t this the same religion that bans alcohol?
Yeah, it would be much better if'n they got all hupped up on Jim Beam.
Just like the ‘Antifa-Crats’
You do not realize just how close to the truth you are.
Drugging warriors has been done for centuries. The Germans drugged their soldiers for higher performance without fear.

Norman Ohler documents the ways the drugs drove the German Army during World War II, in his book Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich.
German soldiers during the early part of WWII were known to use Pervitin, a form of methamphetamine. (U.S. National Archives and Records Administration)
Ohler argues that some of the German army’s early triumphs — victories that would shape the course of the war — were thanks in part to the use of an over-the-counter form of methamphetamine called Pervitin. A doctor named Otto F. Ranke was tasked with improving the performance of German soldiers. He had seen studies that showed Pervitin reduced fear and fatigue, and realized it was the perfect combination for soldiers.
Pervitin helped keep the army marching past the breaking point when Germany invaded France by way of the Ardennes mountains. But the drug also helped the soldiers fight.
