Syrian authorities have launched a crackdown on the notorious Captagon trade, with anti-narcotics units conducting raids on homes and businesses across the country. The operation, aimed at combating the widespread production and distribution of the highly addictive amphetamine-based pill, has resulted in the seizure of large quantities of Captagon pills. Captagon has become a major concern for the Syrian government, with the substance fueling addiction and violence in the war-torn country. As the government seeks to assert control over the illicit trade, residents are bracing for the impact of the raids, which have raised questions about the effectiveness of the crackdown and the root causes of the Captagon epidemic.
