A tangle of conflicts, with different actors: veterans of al-Qaeda, Iraqi insurgents, Arab jihadists, Western volunteers. This is today Syria, territory where they mix and overlap ideologies and political programs and where is the biggest production of Captagon on the planet.

Available throughout the Middle East, is a compound derived from the link between amphetamine and theophylline. Known as Fenetellina, the psychostimulant is better known as Captagon. It produces a euphoric frenzy and lets you stay lucid for days without sleep and eat. The wide use of Captagon is now established throughout the Middle East.

Took Captagon not know most fear - says a terrorist in a documentary broadcast on BBC Arabic a few weeks ago - nothing could stop me.

That Captagon has become the drug of terrorists is now a fact. A few days ago, the French police raid in search of the perpetrators of the massacres of Paris, in a hotel in Alforttville, were found large doses of Captagon. That sort of "divine fervor", is none other than the effect of this drug.

Synthesized in the 60s and administered to treat hyperactivity disorder, narcolepsy and depression, the fenetylline was then banned by most western countries and included in the "Convention on Psychotropic Substances" but is easily found in the Arab countries. Just in Syria, the production of Captagon would recover to industrial levels, placing the country on top of the list among those (Libya and Lebanon) where he summarizes the fenetylline.

The Captagon is cheap and easy to synthesize with legal substances at a competitive price. A tablet can be bought for less than four euro up to a maximum of 15. It 'very popular with Syrian fighters and among those who do not follow strict interpretations of Islamic law. Although it can cause psychosis and brain damage, the stimulant is very famous for its ability to make "all-powerful". Not eating, not sleeping, but it is full of energy and courage. There are no brakes inhibitory or issues that are moral and ethical.

Finished effects, the body returns to be "human", with all its weaknesses and limitations. From that moment, he is looking for that "energy medicine", on pain of being a victim of all the feelings and needs of a living being. Who would not agree to return such, it becomes a slave of Captagon.

Drug production is closely linked to the smuggling of weapons and cash.
