ISIS fuels itself with meth.
This definitely explains some of the weirder behavior. These guys are all high on it all the time, I’d imagine.
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.
Meanwhile the drug itself helps ISIS fighters stay alert and on their feet for days at a time during long, gruelling battles.
The drug was first produced in the West in the 1960s to treat hyperactivity, narcolepsy and depression, but by the 1980s was banned in most countries because of its addictive properties and no longer has a legitimate medical use.
Its active ingredient, fenethylline, is metabolised by the body into the stimulants amphetamine and theophylline.Lebanese psychiatrist Ramzi Haddad says the drug has the typical effects of a stimulant.
He explained: ‘It gives you a kind of euphoria. You’re talkative, you don’t sleep, you don’t eat, you’re energetic.
‘Production is cheap and simple, requiring only basic knowledge of chemistry and a few scales.’
Syrian state media regularly mention Captagon pills, which sell for between $5 and $20, as one of the items government forces seize alongside weapons when they capture rebel fighters or raid their bases.
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.
He told Reuters news agency: ‘We would beat them, and they wouldn’t feel the pain. Many of them would laugh while we were dealing them heavy blows.
‘We would leave the prisoners for about 48 hours without questioning them while the effects of Captagon wore off, and then interrogation would become easier.’
It isn’t just ISIS that uses this. Arabs generally are obsessed with meth. All of these riots and protests you see, you can be sure that meth plays a role. Not that Arabs wouldn’t riot either way, but naturally they would eventually get tired and go home.
Thanks to meth, the Allah riot never ends.
