Muslims use drugs in order to have courage to fight.....

Without drugs 'they are cowards'running away to Europe rather than fight for their country.......

I remember kids back in 1961-1962 dropping because of “Pep Pills”.

Sneak in some 1,000 time more powerful and watch them implode.

"Production in Lebanon's Bekaa valley , a traditional centre for the drug , fell 90% last year from 2011, with the decline largely attributed to production inside Syria," the Guardian noted.

Because the 'moderate' muslims in Lebanon only provide material aid and support for known Islamic terrorists.

Put some bath salts in them and watch them kill their buddies.

If I was Israel, I would be dropping Heroine packets from the sky on the Palestinians and letting bales of it float ashore in Gaza.

I wonder how quickly a trial balloon like lumping the Palestinians in with some of the other refuges in NATO or UN camps in Syria.

[right way right]

Great, drug addicted and demon possessed. These Muslims are a rather difficult bunch.

I wonder if it helps people walk for a thousand miles.

Drug induced warriors is ancient technique. Why? Because it works!

“Syria is a tremendous problem in that it’s a collapsed security sector, because of its porous borders, because of the presence of so many criminal elements and organized networks,” the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) regional representative, Masood Karimipour, told Voice of America. “There’s a great deal of trafficking being done of all sorts of illicit goods , guns, drugs, money, people. But what is being manufactured there and who is doing the manufacturing, that’s not something we have visibility into from a distance.”

DSiunds familiar.

‘theophylline’ ... are you referring to the bronchi dilator?

[MHGinTN]

Isn’t there a ‘rave’ drug which causes dangerous body temp increase? How about a mix for effect?

I’m trying to remember but it seems to me that the original caliphate gave drugs, probably marijuana to their fighters while at the same time promising the 76 virgins back in the 8th century

[RKBA Democrat]

Exactly.

[RKBA Democrat]

Hashhish. From which the term “hashishin” or assassin originated.

[EEGator]

MDMA

Like the Black Hawk Down guys were alwTs chewing khat.

I just watched a documentary on Sherman. It seemed quite balanced to me. I can’t remember the name but it was free streaming on Amazon Prime. It showed him as a fighter of a 20th century warfare whereas Lee and many of the generals on both sides were fighting the Napoleonic wars.

[Mercat]

Right. Thanks.

Doesn’t matter what they are on, a solid CNS hit with a .308 and they are done.
