The article is devoted to the problems of etymology of the forensic category “illegal drug laboratory”. The approaches to formulating the definition of this category, adopted by representatives of the scientific com-munity of the Russian Federation, are considered. Criticism of certain, in the author's opinion, unconstructive approaches to the formulation of this definition is provided. Some statistical data are provided on the number of laboratories identified on the territory of the Russian Federation by the internal affairs bodies in which psychoactive substances were produced. An analysis of the historiographical aspects of this foren-sic category is provided, in particular, an analysis of regulatory legal acts of Russia and other sources of law of the 19th-20th centuries. Based on the derived patterns, the author's definition of this category is proposed.
