2. Synthesis and/or Cultivation of Abused Substances, their
Issue:
Precursors, and Essential Chemicals
Forensic chemists must maintain familiarity with existing and new clandestine
syntheses of abused substances, their precursors, and essential chemicals, and
with the cultivation of abused natural products, in order to assist enforcement
activities, to ensure safety and effectiveness during enforcement operations, and
to provide expert testimony in legal proceedings.
Solution:
Illicit drug seizures, clandestine laboratory operations, and illicit grow operations,
are continuously monitored to maintain a comprehensive overview of the field. In
cases where new drugs are synthesized, or new methodologies are utilized, case
reports are generated for the forensic and enforcement communities.
