-- A Saudi Prince gets popped in Lebanon attempting to smuggle a shitload of Amphetamines (speed) the other day. "Speed Kills" and it gang rapes. It was just a few days ago when I was reading about the massive gang rapes of German women by the Red Army. The Germans were manufacturing Pervitin (speed) which the Red Army discovered by chance in underground labs while looting. Amphetamines are known to be a porno-fuck-drug... and when the Reds for the first time experienced the massive rush of their id... they went "Medieval". To say that speed is an Aphrodisiac is an understatement (and it makes Meth almost wrongly seem romantic)... it's not. If I were to use religious lingo, I'd say that speed is Evil!

Captagon: the amphetamine fuelling Syria's civil war
The drug, widely used in the Middle East but unknown elsewhere, is keeping fighters on their feet during gruelling battles and generating money for more weapons

As Syria sinks ever deeper into civil war, evidence is starting to emerge that a brutal and bloody conflict that has left more than 100,000 people dead and displaced as many as two million is now also being fuelled by both the export and consumption of rapidly increasing quantities of illegal drugs.

Separate investigations by the news agency Reuters and Time magazine have found that the growing trade in Syrian-made Captagon – an amphetamine widely consumed in the Middle East but almost unknown elsewhere – generated revenues of millions of dollars inside the country last year, some of which was almost certainly used to fund weapons, while combatants on both sides are reportedly turning to the stimulant to help them keep fighting.

According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Syria has long been a transit point for drugs coming from Europe, Turkey and Lebanon and destined for the wealthy Gulf states. But the breakdown of law and order, collapse of the country's infrastructure and proliferation of armed groups have now turned it into a major producer, Reuters says. Production in Lebanon's Bekaa valley – a traditional centre for the drug – fell 90% last year from 2011, with the decline largely attributed to production inside Syria.
