All the more reason to believe that diplomacy, bargaining or rationalizing with these savages will not work.
Not only are they blinded by their ideology and the meaningless words of their false prophet... they are numbed with mind-altering drugs.
There is no talking to these people. There is no rationalizing. Just kill them. Every one of them.

Fenethylline (Captagon) is just what an army needs. Crystal methamphetamine is a good substitute if supplies of Captagon run low.

I am surprised that every army in the world does not insist that their troops become addicted to amphetamines. It is much cheaper to feed them after their teeth fall out. And, amphetamines also tend to make the troops more mature. I mean, they may be only 17 in years, but soon they look like they are 65.

I think the only decent thing to do is to send ISIS more Captagon.

Why take a pill? They could achieve the same high if they tasted bacon.

I thought it was global warming that was behind this murderous rampage.

Seems to work like aderall another methamphetamine

I took it once and it made me very sociable, I even did not need to speak to people, there was like a glow that made people come to you. I could not shut up either. After it I had a hard time concentrating for about a week, a problem I never had before.

Hence ADHD is caused more by the drug than anything else, just like when prozak turned melancholy into outright depression

Captagon is a brand name for the drug Fenethylline, invented in 1961 by Degussa AG for the treatment of “hyperkinetic children,” or children diagnosed with ADHD.
Fenethylline: RS)-1,3-dimethyl- 7-[2-(1-phenylpropan-2-ylamino)ethyl]purine- 2,6-dione

Fenethylline is metabolized by the body to form the compounds amphetamine and theophylline. Theophylline is a chemical from the Xanthine class, which also includes caffeine.

Smarter Nootropics states that “When Captagon is taken, it becomes in vivo d-amphetamine and theophylline, and these two new compounds are absorbed into the blood stream, and can now cross the blood brain barrier and become centrally active.”

A study however, conducted in 2005 by Alabdalla MA for Forensic Science International of 124 batches of seized captagon, revealed they contained no fenethylline at all.

Rather, these counterfeit captagon tablets contained amphetamine, methamphetamine, ephedrine, metronidazole, caffeine, theophylline, chlorphenamine, procaine, trimethoprim, chloroquine, and quinine. In short, a drug cocktail far more potent than the original name brand version.

Now THAT isa summa gouda speed.

Wikipedia:

Abuse of fenethylline of the brand name Captagon is most common in Arab countries and counterfeit versions of the drug continue to be available despite its illegality.

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. Some counterfeit Captagon pills analysed do contain fenethylline however, indicating that illicit production of this drug continues to take place.

Fenethylline is a popular drug in Western Asia, and is allegedly used by militant groups in Syria. It is manufactured locally in a cheap and simple process and it sells for between $5 and $20. According to some leaks, militant groups also export the drug in exchange for weapons and cash.

According to Abdelelah Mohammed Al-Sharif, secretary general of the National Committee for Narcotics Control and assistant director of Anti-Drug and Preventative Affairs, 40% of the drug users who fall in the 12–22 age group in Saudi Arabia are addicted to fenethylline.

On 26 October 2015, a member of the Saudi royal family, Prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz, and four others were detained in Beirut on charges of drug trafficking after airport security discovered two tons of Captagon (fenethylline) pills and some cocaine on a private jet scheduled to depart for the Saudi capital of Riyadh.

The following month, Agence France Press reported that the Turkish authorities had seized 2 tonnes of Captagon during raids in the Hatay region on the Syrian border. The pills, almost 11 million of them, had been produced in Syria and were being shipped to countries in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf.

The drug is playing a central role in the Syrian civil war.

Good idea. I'd rather take over the manufacture of it and "spike" the punch with something immediately lethal

Can the source of the drug be adulterated? The distribution network is in place. Strychnine? Polonium?

Come to think of it, there is a good chance that Obazma is a frequent user.
