Millions of Captagon pills have been discovered in warehouses across Syria after toppling of regime

Captagon was the brand name of a psychoactive medicine produced in the 1960s. It contains fenethylline, a synthetic drug. By the 1980s it was banned in most countries because of its highly addictive nature and side effects. It's estimated around 80% of Captagon worldwide was produced in Syria under the command of the Assad regime. Assad is believed to have made billions of dollars from its sale.
