TBI details most commonly found drugs

Methamphetamine is the most commonly found in criminal cases in Tennessee, according to a recent report from TBI. The list is the result of the 393 Initiative, which brings together TBI and District Attorneys to better target and disrupt drug trafficking in the state. While meth was the most commonly found drug, officials reported its usage is actually down with only 32.2% cases involving meth this year, compared to 36% the last two years. Meth was followed by marijuana/cannabis; fentanyl; a fentanyl byproduct known as 4ANPP; cocaine; flurofentanyl, which is an analog of fentanyl; heroin; buprenorphine; xylazine; and Delta-9 THC. Officials said Tennesseans should also be on the lookout for nitazenes, powerful synthetic opiates that have already been associated with overdose deaths in the state.
