Abstract

The study of narcotic drugs of plant origin and cannabinoid addiction was conducted through multidisciplinary forensic and pharmaceutical, clinical and pharmacological, medical, organizational and legal study. The problem of illegal circulation of cannabis in the world and in Ukraine has been studied. Ways of legalizing cannabis have been researched. Forensic and pharmaceutical practice on the illegal circulation of cannabis was analyzed. Proven combinations of cannabinoid abuse with tobacco (35.71%); alcohol (26.67%); tramadol (40.00%); methamphetamine (pervitin) (50.00%); opium (1.43%). The classification and legal, clinical and pharmacological, nomenclature and legal groups of psychoactive substances abused by illegal consumers were worked out. Normative initiatives have been developed and proposed to increase the availability of pharmacotherapy for cannabinoid drug addicts.
