Description
Captagon, known as "poor man's cocaine," is the drug of choice among young adults in the Middle East and North Africa. Originally manufactured in Germany to treat attention deficiency disorders, Captagon is now illicitly produced and widely used for its euphoric and stimulant effects. However, it carries risks of cognitive impairment, cardiovascular issues, and addiction. Illicit production, particularly in Syria, has made it a significant issue in the region. Syria has become the largest producer of Captagon globally, with estimates suggesting that 80% of the world's Captagon is made there. The drug serves as an economic lifeline for the Syrian government, with an estimated worth of $5.7 billion in 2021. Its production and smuggling have become a major concern, leading to strict measures in the Middle East and the EU.
