The U.S. National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC), established in 1993, was a component of the U.S. Department of Justice and a member of the Intelligence Community. The General Counterdrug Intelligence Plan, implemented in February 2000, designated NDIC as the nation's principal center for strategic domestic counterdrug intelligence.
The NDIC ceased to exist on June 16, 2012. DOMEX functions were transferred to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

At certain hours it haunts the house.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
