nelegali narkotinė medžiaga
See my discussion note.
Discussion
1) it is considered harmful
2) its use is controlled by law or made illegal
I'm not sure what expression is used by Lithuanian police, courts, etc. but it seems to me a good translation would need to reflect both aspects, e.g. „nelegali narkotinė medžiaga“.
