The amphetamines, called captagon, could now be bringing the jihadis more money than their oil revenues.
As well as flooding the illegal drugs market with the new high, ISIS maniacs are popping the pills to find the courage to perform beheadings or throw prisoners off high rise buildings.
The drug, produced in Syria and Lebanon, also has a Viagra-type property according to authorities, which has made is big hit in other Arab countries where men use it to boost their sex drive.
A number of drugs busts have brought to light the scale of the new drugs war, as the amount seized in Syria in just one year are worth $250m (£177m), a report by Syria’s Drug Enforcement Agency said.
General Maamun Ammuri, head of the agency, said authorities had stopped shipments amounting to 24million captagon capsules in 2015 alone, with one pill selling for up to $10.
He said: “Our documents indicate that drug traffickers are terrorist groups with two goals: first, to spread this poison in areas under the control of the Islamic State group to fund themselves and buy weapons.
“And second, for its fighters to use so that they become numb to their own criminal activities, like beheadings and executions.”
