Amphetamine tablets are extremely popular in Asia
- Scoundreller 5y agoAmphetamine sure, but captagon is a more complicated molecule without any real extra benefit. Théophyllines are meh unless you’re nearly dying of lung disease. However, Wikipedia reports: “ Many of these counterfeit "Captagon" tablets actually contain other amphetamine derivatives that are easier to produce, but are pressed and stamped to look like Captagon pills.” which makes a lot more sense if the chemistry is being done in Syria.

I remember reports about it being popular with IS and Al Qaeda fighters as a combat drug: reduced anxiety, increased stamina and the forming addiction can be used as a tool to keep the fighters in line.
