The synthetic drug, “Captagon”, is said to be used widely by members of ISIS and Al-Nusra to survive pain and to gain courage. The drug is now produced in Syria, where it is exchanged with weapons in the Gulf countries.

Produced in small tablets, the drug is said to have a function for forgetting pain and fear. It has been widely used in the Syrian civil war which has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

ISIS’s drug business has many times appeared in the media, while new evidence recently emerged in the Western media with testimonies of eye witnesses. It has emerged that the drugs are used not only by members of ISIS but also by members of Al-Nusra and the FSA.

Arte TV http://info.arte.tv/de/amphetamine-fur-den-kampf has broadcasted an interview with a drug dealer, who covers his face so as not to be recognised and explains the effects of Captagon tablets which he holds in his hand:
