Captagon, a speed-like amphetamine, was the favourite of fighters on the frontline, and is now turning both countries into narco-states.

Channel 4 News has obtained footage of an illegal Captagon factory on the Lebanese-Syrian border. It's one of scores of underground labs churning out millions of pills, creating a crisis of addiction across the Middle East.

Filmed and produced by Michael Downey.
