#1 I was curious.

Saudi Arabia regularly announces seizures of captagon. The drug is known to come from Syria and transits through Lebanon in cargo such as fruit and vegetables.

The vast majority of captagon, which derives its name from a once legal drug against narcolepsy, is produced in Syria and Lebanon and smuggled to its main consumer market in the Gulf.

#3 An early version of Speed, no less.

It’s made everywhere in the Middle East by everyone who needs money — the process is about as complicated as meth, I believe. So ISIS, the Syrian opposition, drug lords, etc. They all use their own product and sell the excess. ISIS fighters lived on the stuff, believing it gives fearless courage and prevents hunger. As far as I can tell, it’s as common over there as beer is here.
