Description: An analysis of criminal law practice suggests that when considering criminal proceedings of various categories (homicide, rape, theft, production, acquisition, storage, transportation and sale of drugs, etc.), material evidence is often represented by narcotic drugs of both illicit manufacturing and those produced by the pharmaceutical industry. Narcotic drugs are a group of pharmacologically active substances of plant and synthetic origin that can selectively affect the central nervous system, resulting in the complete loss of consciousness, loss of all types of sensation and relaxation of skeletal muscles (anaesthesia), or a special psychological and physiological state of the human organism, at which the absence of the habitual poison (drug) causes a number of disagreeable sensations requiring periodic drug use [1]. This reaction is explained by the fact that drugs are quickly included in the metabolism and become indispensable to life. Meanwhile, they are not called poison for anything, since they lead to the physical weakening of the organism, and then to inevitable death. Drug use causes the development of drug addiction (from the Greek narke E" sleep, numbness and mania E" passion, mania) is clearly recognized morbid impulse and addiction to drugs that produce pleasant sedation or agitation (and some drugs E" also illusions and hallucinations) followed by the central nervous system depression.
