President Barack Obama has become a symbol of virility in Pakistan, according to popular contraband pills that promise to boost libido, the Independent reports.

The pills are banned in the country but are being smuggled in from Afghanistan and sold in a Peshawar market. The drug is often composed of unknown chemicals and may cause harmful side effects.

Much of the demand for the pills comes from younger people — those who wouldn’t necessarily need it, according to the Independent.
