Half a Million 'Captagon' Drug Tablets Were Found on Syrian Border
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201803071062326423-syria-border-captagon-drugs/

During Syrian conflict, 50 percent of the world's amphetamine seizures happened in the Arabian Peninsula, it is known that Daesh terrorists are addicted to the 'chemical courage.'

A Jordan Army official said that the eastern military command, in coordination with the Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) and the Military Security Department foiled an attempt to smuggle a huge amount of Captagon drugs into the Kingdom, according to local media citing a source in the Armed Forces.

The military source stated that they have to apply rules of engagement after the border guards spotted a car that attempted to enter the country, which led it to retreat to Syria.

After searching the area, a number of bags containing 497,705 Captagon pills were seized and transported to the authorities, the source of the Armed Forces said.

Captagon is a psychostimulant which is made of a combination of amphetamine and theophylline in order to bolster physical strength. In the 1950s, when it was created, it was used for treating depression, attention deficit disorder, and narcolepsy. It was banned in Western countries in the 1980s when scientist found out that it was highly addictive.

Amphetamines raise energy, allowing users to stay awake for longer times and increasing the belief that one has a greater pain threshold.

Since 2008, 50 percent of the world's amphetamine seizures happened in the Arabian Peninsula-and Daesh* may be linked to that business, like the Taliban has done with opium, to drive income. Syria and Lebanon were the top countries for amphetamine seizures in 2016, the trade was partly fueled by the Syrian conflict.

It was found out the terrorist have taken the amphetamine-filled Captagon immediately before many assaults that took place in Syria.

*Daesh (ISIS, IS, Islamic State) is terrorist organization banned in Russia.

The Need for Speed
Though it had been synthesized in 1887, amphetamine, or speed, first hit the market in 1932 in the form of a  decongestant inhaler called Benzedrene. Besides helping asthmatics breathe better, it also had notable stimulant effects, which is why amphetamine "energy pills" became attractive to soldiers and pilots of both the Axis and Allies during WWII. Flyboys could pop a pill and suddenly be able to cruise unhindered for another four, six or eight hours. Notably, the frenzy and fearlessness of Japanese Kamikaze pilots has since been attributed to their being utterly cranked on speed. (Also: Hitler was a celebrity-level junkie, with a vicious methamphetamine habit.)

Researchers eventually picked up on the notion that amphetamines, which weren't initially considered to be addictive, were creating serious health problems — a somewhat serious issue since US and British forces consumed some 150 million speed pills during WWII. For instance, at one US military prison in 1945, a quarter of the population was found to be strung out, agitated and hallucinating, due to a habit of eating the amphetamine strips from Benzedrine inhalers (which were five times the normal dose).

It's interesting to note that most of Germany was addicted to the amphetamine 'pervitin' leading up to and during ww2. It was as common to them as aspirin or coffee. A lot of people are beginning to speculate The Nazi Party (German Illuminati) were able to commit unspeakable atrocities without much resistance from their populace because everyone was so high they literally didn't care what the party did so long as they got their meth.

Much like the US Military vs US public outweighed by opiate addiction, with less of, but still there, cocaine/meth addiction.
