A tangle of conflicts, with different actors: al-Qaeda veterans, Iraqi rebels, Arab jihadists, Western volunteers. This is Syria today, a territory where ideologies and political programs mix and overlap and where the largest production of is found Captagon of the planet.
Available throughout the Middle East, it is a compound derived from the link between amphetamine and theophylline. Known as Fenetellina, the psychostimulant is better known as Captagon. It produces a euphoric delirium and allows you to stay lucid for days, without sleeping and eating. Extensive use of Captagon is now established throughout the Middle East.
Taken from the Captagon you no longer know the fear - says a terrorist in a documentary broadcast on BBC Arabic a few weeks ago - nothing could stop me.
That the Captagon has become the terrorist drug is now a fact. A few days ago, in the raid of the French police in search of the authors of the massacres in Paris, at a hotel in Alforttville, large doses of Captagon. That sort of "divine fervor" is none other than the effect of this drug.
Synthesized over the years' 60 and administered to treat hyperactivity, narcolepsy and depression, the fenetylline it was then banned by most western countries and included in the "Convention on Psychotropic Substances" but is easily available in Arab countries. Precisely in Syria, the production of Captagon it would resume at industrial levels, placing the country at the top of the list among those (Libya and Lebanon) where the fenetylline.
Il Captagon it is cheap and easy to synthesize with legal substances at a competitive price. A tablet can be purchased for less than four euros up to a maximum of 15. It is very popular among Syrian fighters and among those who do not strictly follow the interpretations of Islamic law. Although it can cause psychosis and brain damage, the stimulant is very famous for its ability to make "omnipotent". You do not eat, you do not sleep, but you are full of energy and courage. There are no inhibitory brakes or problems of a moral and ethical nature.
Once the effects are over, the body returns to being "human", with all its weaknesses and limits. From that moment, we are searching for that "energy medicine", otherwise we will be the victim of all the feelings and needs of a living being. Whoever does not accept to return as such becomes a slave of the Captagon.
Drug production is closely linked to the smuggling of weapons and cash.
