These seem to be classified primarily as #RCA chemicals, permitted by the #CWC (the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention) outside of warfare.

Furthermore, the article you link actually says they don't know what exactly #ICE has been using other than #teargas, #pepperspray, and #smokegrenades.
From @opcw :
OPCW releases 5th report to identify perpetrators of chemical weapons use in #Syria
Syrian Arab Air Forces were identified as the perpetrators of a 2016 chemical attack in Kafr Zeita. For the first time, Syria cooperates with an OPCW #InvestigationAndIdentificationTeam’s investigation and provides full access to the country, information, and documentation relevant to the incident #ChemicalWeaponsConvention #ChemicalWeapons #KafrZeita #OPCW

@opcw looking for #SocialMedia personnel:
There are two positions open:
- short term appointment through the summer: https://jobs.opcw.org/job/job-digital-communications-assistant-gs-5-short-term-appointment_478.aspx
- fixed term professional position from this autumn: https://jobs.opcw.org/job/job-digital-communications-officer-p-2-_473.aspx
Both are interesting in a good small team.
There is a lot going on at the #OPCW and you could help the Organisation communicate this to a wide public.

Okay. Here's something to consider.
Not only does #pregabalin have the potential to give a person brain damage. I think it's more than that: it might have potential to bring out that "Savant" characteristic.
In other words: SUPER DANGEROUS.
well. My point is. They discovered that chemical concoction about 20 years ago.
I'm sure they can give you stuff to make you genius by now.
You're just not allowed to have it.
