Interesting. I suggest air drops with this stuff all over Gaza. If it gets occasionally tainted with Fentanyl, so be it.
It has long been known that German soldiers used a meth-amphetamine called Pervitin in World War II. But tales of Nazis on speed obscured the other side of the story: the massive use of stimulants by British and American troops. (Secrets of the Dead)
All is well.
::Sounds to me that someone is trying to ‘rehabilitate’ Hamas.
Based on my understanding of Hamas, they don’t need to take any drugs to do what they did, as they’re taught from kindergarten that Israelis are not human.
~~~~~~
My thoughts, as well.
Sounds that way to me as well. The headline starts it with “Hamas fighter”.
Fighters... really? Those were women and children and unarmed people they slaughtered, oh wait “fought”.
Physical combination of theophylline and amphetamine. The body breaks the chemical bonds of the two freeing amphetamine and theophylline.
Theophylline is chemically closely related to caffeine, so expect a little pep from that... amphetamine...well you know.
Poor man’s Captagon: strong coffee and ephedrine.
That crap has to be here too.
Not New, ISIS did too. All the time.
My Kurdish friends who eliminated ISIS with our help knew full well that they were constantly doped up.
Captagon is the commercial name for fennethylline.
What exactly is Captagon and why was it banned?

No doubt the “Captagon” used by ISIS or ISI, and other extremist groups, to enhance their soldiers abilities today is far removed from the Captagon of the eighties. Instead of just two main ingredients, illegal manufacturing likely combines several highly addictive stimulants with compounding actions into one destructive little pill. This “new age” Captagon, as with any highly addictive substance, is likely to cause irreversible changes in brain circuitry that govern impulse control and judgement, taking away a person’s ability to reason or think rationally.
Captagon has been touted by media as “The Amphetamine Fueling Syria’s War” or “The Jihadists’ Drug”.
Syria has been supplying it to ISIS at least since 2014. Before that it was being made in Lebanon’s Bekaah Valley, reportedly.
I had read somewhere (can’t remember)that Luftwaffe pilots used to take morphine by injection before taking off for missions.
Supposedly the word ,”assassin” is the derive of an Arab word “hashasin”...meaning hashish eater. Supposedly an 11 and 12 century secretive cult of political murderers would get zonked on hashish and that would allow them to do the evil that they did better.
So using psychostimulants is not new at all.
Doesn’t stop shrapnel or modern bullets, however.
Assad did not supply ISIS. (Assad is Evil. But did not harbor ISIS)
” it was being made in Lebanon’s Bekaah Valley”
Likely true, by Hezbollah.
I couldn’t find any either. I thought my drug dealer may be holding out on me but I guess it really is a Middle Eastern drug.
Just what I was thinking.
Same old story.
Having had morphine, it’s something I would definitely NOT want to have on board while piloting an aircraft!
Arabs are the ones we have to thank for out of control killers on another drug:
“The word “asas” in Arabic means principle. The “Asāsiyyūn” (plural, from literary Arabic) were, as defined in Arabic, people of principle. The term “assassin” likely has roots in “hashshāshīn” (hashish smokers or users), a mispronunciation of the original Asāsiyyūn, but not a mispronunciation of “Assasiyeen” (pronounced “Asāsiyyeen”, the plural of Asasi).”
Another:
In the ‘History of Alamut’ there are at least four etymologies given for the word assassin.
1) User of hashish
2) Follower of Hassan
3) Rowdy people
4) Asas
Angel Dust
Those are the two I've read about. I'm sure a military historian can cite many examples of soldiers taking drugs of some sort or another over the centuries.
