The Atlanta Police Department's Narcotics Unit will be featured on tonight's episode of "Drugs, Inc." on the National Geographic Channel at 9 p.m.

The hour-long program features the drug Molly.

According to the NatGeo description:

Molly, a powdered form of the drug MDMA, is exploding in popularity across the United States. Formerly marketed in pill form as Ecstasy, Molly is a total rebrand. Marketed as purer, cleaner and "without the additives," this powder has become the most fashionable new drug for young people. But as the consumer demand for Molly has exploded, the production of pure MDMA has struggled to keep up with supply. As a result new, dangerous chemicals are finding their way into the market.

"Drugs, Inc." is in its fourth season on NatGeo. During its first two seasons, the focus was primarily on particular drugs. The past two seasons have looked at drugs in particular cities. This is the show's first visit to Atlanta.

Here's a teaser with a reference to downtown Atlanta:
