A former drug runner has recounted to The Free Press his terrifying experience, indicating that Hezbollah traffics in and makes its own members consume a psychostimulant called Captagon in order to make money and fuel its terrorist operations.

Known as the "jihadist drug", Captagon induces euphoria, reduces pain and numbs the human consience. It was also widely used by ISIS terrorists and was found in the bodies of many of the Hamas terrorists who carried out the October 7 atrocities.

But its main function is to keep the jihadist machine up and running.

The former mule described how when his poor family had nothing left to eat, Hezbollah agents offered him a car and a great salary to transport Captagon to several cities in Syria. They once asked him to transport the drug over the Jordanian border but he was caught and narrowly escaped. He then tried to cut his connections to Hezbollah but they started to kidnap members of this family and torturing them in order to convince him to remain.

The US State Departments states that the Captagon trade spans 17 countries, from Italy to Malaysia, and that Hezbollah is the main smuggler of this drug all over the world. The trade in Captagon thus finances much of the operations of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. Putting an end to the manufacture and trade of this drug is crucial to the fight against the Axis of Evil.
