2022 Q1,Q2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine (ANPP) Cocaine 873 / 1,746 775 / 1,550 515 / 1,030 510 / 1,020 359 / 718 233 / 466 189 / 378 Fluorofentanyl Heroin Buprenorphine delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol Tramadol 10
ANPP (although schedule 2 on its own) is a precursor in the manufacturing process of fentanyl
2022 Q1,Q2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Fentanyl 4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine (ANPP) Cocaine 1,753 / 3,506 873 / 1,746 775 / 1,550 515 / 1,030 510 / 1,020 359 / 718 233 / 466 189 / 378 Fluorofentanyl Heroin Buprenorphine delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol Tramadol
2022 Q1,Q2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Cannabis-Marijuana Fentanyl 4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine (ANPP) Cocaine 2,269 / 4,538 1,753 / 3,506 873 / 1,746 775 / 1,550 515 / 1,030 510 / 1,020 359 / 718 233 / 466 189 / 378 Fluorofentanyl Heroin Buprenorphine delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol Tramadol
Approximately 93.45% (2,269 out of 2,428) of plant material is presumptively consistent with marijuana. Approximately 6.55% (159 out of 2,428) of plant material is presumptively consistent with hemp.
2022 Q1,Q2 5,207 / 10,414 2,269 / 4,538 1,753 / 3,506 873 / 1,746 775 / 1,550 515 / 1,030 510 / 1,020 359 / 718 233 / 466 189 / 378 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Methamphetamine Cannabis-Marijuana Fentanyl 4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine (ANPP) Cocaine Fluorofentanyl Heroin Buprenorphine delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol Tramadol
Drugs to watch Nitazenes Metonitazene Isonitazene Pronitazene N-pyrrolidino Etonitazene Flunitazene
Drugs to watch Nitazenes Nitazenes are potent synthetic opioids from a drug class known as benzimidazole-opioids. Recent studies show that the potency of nitazene compounds varies, with some being 1.5-40 times more potent than fentanyl.
Drugs to watch Xylazine Xylazine, a non-opioid veterinary tranquilizer not approved for human use, has been linked to an increasing number of overdose deaths nationwide in the evolving drug addiction and overdose crisis. Studies show people exposed to xylazine often knowingly or unknowingly used it in combination with other drugs, particularly illicit fentanyl.
