#4 just thought as the amphetamine was mainly for fighters in Syria, and the supply chain to ISIS isn't really studied by the MSM...

#6 There have been reports of use by Islamic State fighters. However, as BP alluded, most of the media-reported use of Captagon is by non-IS Syrian rebels.

#7 An alternative non-WOT explanation is they need the amphetamines to stay awake and study for final exams. With two tons of speed, you can stay up a *really* long time.
