Will a search warrant contain what the investigation is about?

For example if an investigation is for distribution of marijuana will that be listed in the search warrant?

Generally, a search warrant is supposed to say what they are searching for, not what the investigation is about, but often times they will be the same thing.  So, for example, if the investigation is into distribution of marijuana, one of the things they would be searching for would be illegal drugs.
