Bet the UAE doesn’t monkey around when it comes to sentencing drug dealers.
Captagon: Patpong party drug. Went well with Mekong whiskey
Probably sold to the resident workers who are often paid peanuts.
RE: smuggled in furniture.
When the blues rock band Canned Heat was in their prime their manager made secret deals they didn’t know about. Thousands of dollars of drugs were hidden in their new speakers and other sound equipment arriving in crates.
The manager kept telling them they got new equipment every few months as a perk of deals he negotiated.
Another time the band was being carefully watched and targeted by local police for drugs. At night the cops swept the hotel rooms and made some arrests for small amounts.
One young woman was alone in a room with a large brick of brown hashish on the dresser, its aluminum foil opened. She thought she was going to jail for the musician’s dope. The inexperienced young officer spoke to her about how she seemed to be a nice girl and she should go home to her parents and stop thinking hanging out with these bearded hippies was cool because they will only get her in trouble. She should avoid them and not ruin her life.
As he started to leave he turned and said “And we’re taking those guys to jail now. You’re gonna have to eat that big chocolate bar up there all by yourself. Good night.”

CIA must be really pissed.
Captagon is a drug product which contains a molecule which when metabolized by the enzymes in the body produce amphetamine and theophylline. Theophylline is a chemical brother of caffeine but has less psychostimulant effect than caffeine. Has good bronchodilation effect which is why it was used to treat asthma for a long time. Amphetamine effects are well known.
It is illegal in many countries but made by Syrian producers. Supplies big cash for Assad. Sometimes the counterfeit pills have extra caffeine. Overdoses of caffeine and theophylline can cause cardiac rhythm disturbances and if levels are real high, the seizures they cause are difficult to control...
Theobromine, a compound found in cocoa ,chocolate, and cola, is a sister of both caffeine and theophylline..has mild psychostimulant effects. Dogs and cats metabolize it slowly and dogs can eat lots of chocolate...and can die if not treated aggressively. Cats usually don’t eat much chocolate but it is toxic to them also.
Aren’t drugs (or chemical compounds) just wonderful?
Good thing people are really careful of what they put down their gullet or shoot into their veins, or inhale.
