title: [Analysis of active components of evidence materials secured in the cases of drugs abuse associated with amphetamines and cannabis products].
abstract: The study takes advantage of the presently available effective physicochemical methods (isolation, crystallization, determination of melting point, TLC, GLC and UV spectrophotometry) for an objective and reliable qualitative and quantitative analysis of frequently abused drugs. The authors determined the conditions for qualitative and quantitative analysis of active components of the secured evidence materials containing amphetamine sulphate, methylamphetamine hydrochloride, 3,4-me-tylenedioxy-methamphetamine hydrochloride (MDMA, Ecstasy), as well as delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta(9)-THC) as an active component of cannabis (marihuana, hashish). The usefulness of physicochemical tests of evidence materials for opinionating purposes is subject to a detailed forensic toxicological interpretation.
