Large stockpiles of the illegal drug Captagon have been discovered in Syria.

A large drug laboratory was located at the headquarters of a military division near Damascus.

The lab contained a pill press and containers of chemicals, the CNN article emphasizes.

In addition, the tablets found had a logo in the form of a double crescent moon or the word Lexus.

Apparently, this sign refers to the drug Captagon. It is also called the poor man's drug or the "drug of jihad."

Thousands of tablets were packaged in pieces of furniture and among bags of fruit.

The drugs, stacked on pallets, were said to be ready for export.

Studies conducted in recent years have estimated Captagon's annual turnover at billions of dollars.

According to the leader of the forces that came to power, Mohammad al-Jolani, Syria has become the world's main source of Captagon.
