Syrian Drug Trade

[donkiez]

Captagon, ever hear of it? Its a particularly nasty form of speed that is really popular in the middle east. Syria has become a major manufacture of this drug, ISIS and other rebels are major consumer but Europe and the rest of the middle east are driving demand for this drug and funding ISIS by doing so. Guess who the biggest captagon market in the world is........ drum roll please........ its Saudi Arabia. Not only do they put like 50k people a year in rehab for this drug, but one of their princes was caught trying to smuggle 40 suitcases full of the stuff into SA on his private jet. This might be all well an good if SA was doing anything to help resolve the Syria issue, but instead they are just funding it.

tl;dr: Fuck Saudia Arabia

Never heard of it, but not surprising. The hypocricy of drug use and cultivation among supposedly devout Muslims is legion. And let's not forget the etymology of the term "assassin".

They should behead that prince, it's only fair.
