ISIS fighters are taking cheap, easy-to-make amphetamine pills that help keep them awake for days, which is fuelling the civil war in Syria.
The small tablets of the highly addictive substance Captagon are produced in Syria and is widely available across the Middle East.
It is thought that the trade of the drugs brings in millions of dollars in revenue to Syria, providing funding for weapons and ammunition.
.......A drug control officer in the central city of Homs said he had observed the effects of Captagon on protesters and fighters held for questioning.

Great post... I guess this is already here too.
I couldn’t take that stuff. My heart would explode.
I didn’t know 55% of the world’s meth is coming out of the middle east. Who knew the civilized world was actually in a war with, not just ragheads, but methheads?
They need oxygen to keep going. If captured, waterboarding works best. Outside of anything coherent one might get from one, a single bullet ends their misery of the crash afterwards. And there always will be a crash.

Damn, where was this stuff when I was in college?
O yeah. ISIS is a whole new type of narco terrorist. They’ll be sharing their “product” with the BLM fools in America’s cities and college campuses, whom they’ll be working overtime to recruit.
The Sendera Luminoso terrorists of Peru were funding their activities in the 80s by flooding US ghettos with cocaine.
But AFAIK, they didn’t actually use the stuff.
Hitler kept many of his troops jacked up on amphetamines.
Some rumors that he was also a user himself.
They are all the same, crap.
Sendera Luminoso....group backed by China, coincidentally.
