A little bit of context for this story.  We sometimes give our fighter pilots an identical drug[0].  Sometimes we give our children an identical drug.  We call it adderall or amphetamine.  This article sounds to me very much like a scare piece.<p>But I guess &quot;Syrian rebels and government soldiers accuse each other of using adderall&quot; is not catchy enough :).<p>[0] Technically Captagon also has theophylline which is a methylxanthine similar to caffeine that is in chocolate.
 Also we use just one isomer of amphetamine as opposed to both.
 It&#x27;s not really a mixture of the two so much as a pro drug.
