Data Disclaimer: Substances identified by Federal, State, and local laboratories are included in the raw counts of drug reports received by NFLIS-Drug. Raw counts have not undergone any adjustments to account for laboratory nonresponse. Data for this publication were exported from the NFLIS-Drug database in April 2021 and include drug reports received by NFLIS-Drug through March 2021. Data in the Newly Reported Drugs and Snapshot of Drug Reports Received by NFLIS-Drug sections include only drugs submitted to laboratories on or after January 1, 2020. Data in the Percentage of All NFLIS-Drug Items Containing Fentanyl and at Least One Other Drug section include all drugs submitted to NFLIS-Drug in 2018, 2019, and 2020, and retrieved from the NFLIS-Drug database on April 4, 2021. Because of the time it takes for a laboratory to analyze seized material and transfer the data to the NFLIS database, the data in this publication—unlike those reported in an Annual or Midyear Report—are not comprehensive and do not reflect total counts of drugs analyzed over the period.
