Captagon A Synthetic Stimulant That Earned Billions For The Assad Regime

File photo dated July 01, 2020 - The Guardia di Finanza of Naples has seized in the Port of Salerno a large quantity of drugs, 14 tons of amphetamines, 84 million tablets with the "captagon" logo, produced in Syria by ISIS to finance terrorism. For years, Bschar al-Assad regime secretly netted three times more money than all of Mexico's cartels with a small white pill that everyone from ISIS terrorists to construction workers chased after. Captagon, known locally as the 'drug of jihad', and 'poor man's cocaine', was originally sold as a cure for attention deficit disorders, narcolepsy and depression when it was first developed by a German pharmaceutical firm in 1961. In 1986, Captagon was banned in almost all countries after it was listed as a Schedule II drug by the UN. Photo by Alessandro Garofalo/Newfotosud/napolipress/Fotogramma/IPA/ABACAPRESS.COM
