On an annual basis the Psychotropics Control Section of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) secretariat publishes a technical report that provides an overview of the worldwide licit manufacture, export, import, stocks and consumption of substances controlled under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971. In addition to providing specific figures for movements of many scheduled substances the report includes commentary on emerging and ongoing trends in the licit market for psychotropic substances under international control.
