Captagon, the jihadi drug, coming to a party near you?

Party party! Captagon: the drug fuelling the Gulf party scene - and Syria's finances........................

"One of captagon's most lucrative markets is the Gulf region, where party scenes are flourishing, particularly in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Intercepted shipments of the drug are typically headed there, including a recent 10 million-pill transfer from Lebanon.

In 2021, Saudi Arabia put in place an import ban on all Lebanese products over drug smuggling and the issue has become a top concern for Arab countries seeking a solution to Syria's war." www.reuters.com...

Good additional source. Thank you!

From yours: FUELLING GULF PARTIES, AND ANGER

It seems we must discuss Syria and Lebanon with this highly addictive substance as we do with Mexico and China with Fentanyl.

Sooner or later, the civilized world is going to have to move on the producers of these chemical warfare agents.

Probably because it's nowhere near as intense as meth. Lots of college students abuse Adderall. There aren't many abusing meth.

Captagon is a cheap, mild, stimulant that no one else is producing. So it makes sense that someone would cash in on that monopoly and flood the market with it. In this case that someone is the Syrian government.

could it give them the 'courage' or motivation, or rational that these humans beheaded babies?

I'm still waiting for proof that this even happened... it sounds more like just another lie to excuse their own jihad...

a reply to: MoreCoyoteAngels

dont know what you mean by 'dont let the drug fool you'. You say this after you make my point, only about other amphetamine types.

the drug/ drugs which ever kind only enhance already violent tendencies. if you constantly exposes people to violence in any setting as the likes of a jihad and have hundreds, thousand of people chanting at rallies or indoctrination into a belief system that endorses violent culture that believes in honor killing, a woman should know their place, beat your youngins, kill anyone that opposes your belief system then give them a drug that reduces their inhibitions what ever kind it is. your more than likely to see what was seen.

it's not just the drug doing that it's the people, is what mean by don't let the drug fool you.

Usually, illicit drug manufactures want a superior product. Not a milder one. Has to do with packaging more than anything else. Easier to move, hide and smuggle smaller packaging.

It still doesn't make sense that a mild stimulant would have this illegal billion $ network.

There are plenty of youtubes with hysterical, traumatized witnesses to the slaughter.

Do you also deny the Holocaust?

a reply to: MoreCoyoteAngels

Large consumption of methamphetamine did not work out too well for the Germans.

If they all end up speed freaks MoreCoyoteAngels the problem may very well take care of itself.

Amphetamines can be rather nasty if taken over long periods of time and psychotic sleep-deprived troops are hardly an effective fighting force.

As likely to take on each other down to paranoia-induced schizophrenic-like episodes as they are anyone else.

a reply to: hounddoghowlie

Gasoline on a fire makes the fire more dangerous tho'. Right? Accelerant.

I know the drug isn't doing it all by itself.

a reply to: andy06shake

Are you saying Hamas is an effective fighting force?

Id say that large consumption of amphetamines (if this is true during the Oct. 7 attack that they were using this drug) has already not worked out too well for the Palestinians that did this attack. They have pretty much reaped a whirlwind.

And I hear they don't get along with each other real well either: see Hamas vs. PA

a reply to: MoreCoyoteAngels

The worldwide heroin market is estimated to bring in $100 billion annually. The marijuana market is estimated to bring in four to five times that.

Milder drugs will appeal to a much wider audience.

a reply to: MoreCoyoteAngels

Are you saying Hamas is an effective fighting force?

I'm just saying If they all end up speed freaks it's going to be problematic at best, and chances are they will end up fighting amongst themselves.

And i don't care whether it is Hamas or anyone else.

Amphetamine is a nasty substance, in all its many guises, and as I've said taken over long periods of time will indeed cause psychotic breaks.

Now like you suggest, they do not like each other at the best of times, make them all paranoid androids and I think that has the capacity to snowball big time.

Look what happened to old Adolf with the speed cocktails and pills?

a reply to: andy06shake

So are they or are they not taking this drug in a big way in the ME? I don't know what point you are making?

a reply to: Threadbarer

Guess you will be ok with a new mild party drug showing up in your neighborhood then.

a reply to: MoreCoyoteAngels

Kids are already abusing Adderall, Vyvanse, etc. at parties. How is this any different?

a reply to: MoreCoyoteAngels

So are they or are they not taking this drug in a big way in the ME?

Not being in the Middle East i can't really answer that question in any sort of definitive manner any more than you can.

don't know what point you are making?

The point i am making is clear, but let me reiterate, amphetamine is a nasty substance that can and will cause short and long-term psychological, and even physiological, problems.

If "Captagon" ticks that box, i don't see the results being any different.

Would the use of drugs by jihadists on a mission that had a high chance of holy/virgins in the afterlife/place in paradise death consider the presence of a stimulant a denial of entry though? If the answer to that question is yes, then that throws up some other questions.

Of course not! All they need do is act as Mohammed did and everything will be forgiven. So just like Jesus would d-…well…just like Abrah…um…just like a notoriously good and caring man from ancient times would, his name doesn’t matter…Mohammed went to bed exhausted one day after he himself cut the heads off of seven HUNDRED men, women, and children who accused him of being a nut job and certainly nobody sent by God!

If you want to know which side is Evil, look to whom they worship.

This is a Holy war and there is good vs bad. We just need to decide which is the "good" side.

And "good" is subjective. I know this, I know which side worships Evil and death.

The "mildness" stories may be a coverup for the real potent form.

Bet there's big profits.

Could be why we see a "neutered" current U.S. Administration !! Think.

Syria produces Captagon and there are many addicts in the region surrounding Israel.

The amphetamine is said to create superhuman soldiers, that are fearless and tireless.

It's not unusual for warriors to take stimulants for battle.

But as in all things modern, seems this is on a new level.

I keep wondering why the gang in Gaza decided the attack was a good idea, and that there wouldn't be fierce blowback.

Maybe they weren't thinking clearly? Maybe this drug has made them psychotic?

Let them take all they want , This is the reason Germany lost the war after a week of no sleep the soldiers had no clue how to fight .
