Syria, a Western Asian Country has been announced as the biggest narco-state in the world.
The nation is reported to manufacture and even deal in an illegal drug called Captagon.
Many countries have banned these hazardous pills owing to global smuggling.
This Captagon substance is a hard and addicting drug used as a replacement for amphetamine which is a synthetic illegal stimulant.
Moreover, this drug is typically notorious for its fillers and elements that it consists of. It is also known as “poor man’s coke”.
A German pharmaceutical company first launched Captagon drug in 1961.
During that phase, it was only created for the treatment of various health conditions such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy.
