Captagon is a highly addictive drug ravaging the Middle East: Investigative journalism network OCCRP, alongside BBC News Arabic, has uncovered new direct links between this multi-billion dollar drug trade and leading members of the Syrian Armed Forces and President Bashar al-Assad's family.

Haha absolutely correct. They can't even handle real drugs

Very very interesting and illuminating program. I took two main threads away from the show. Firstly I always wondered why America was interested in Syria, usually they get involved with the politics of a country that has a commodity the global elitist criminal families can exploit for massive profits, Vietnam/Thailand/Laos for the Golden Triangle drug trade, Afghanistan for the poppy/heroin trade...etc etc. So when I heard that Saudi Arabia was the biggest market for these tablets, and the long and nefarious connection the Bush crime family has with the House of Saud, suddenly the skies became clear! It's Mena Arkansas all over again! Wonder how many Captagons wild Billy Clinton can put away in a session. The other disturbing topic that hit me was the footage of surveillance cameras/drones/aircraft/satelittes being used by the Jordanian armed forces. Of course we know this technology exists, we see it when drug mules are entering the US from Mexico, when we're tracking the movement of Soviet armoured brigades in Ukraine, yet we are still expected to believe that the most sophisticated surveillance/spying country in the world, Israel, was caught by surprise by what would have been a huge convoy of vehicles/militia/microlites! Absolute nonsense.

Interviewing and going all these places needs someone with nerves of steel.

the dealer in the interview wouldn't recognize himself even if he has seen himself in the video.

It's like aderol. If you up the dose. It's just as addictive as aderol for someone who doesn't have ADHD. It''s dirt cheap. As a point of reference it's comparible to speed. You can also compare it to cocain without the need to take every 30 mins. Compared to other hard drugs it's quite mild. It's also used by many who work over night and truck drivers who want to get to their destinations faster by not sleeping. Only trying to give an idea of what it is. Still, it's a dangerously addictive substance and can lead to health issues and create dependability. Like all other illegal drugs, don't take it. Have a drink and enjoy a drug free life, nothing is worth messing with unregulated drugs. It's a gamble for your health and potentially a long time in prison in the middle east.
