Судебно-экспертное исследование марихуаны: подходы к установлению принадлежности к ранее разделенным растительным массам

В статье представлены результаты исследований высушенной и измельченной марихуаны с помощью спектроскопии в ближней инфракрасной области и спорово-пыльцевого анализа для решения экспертной задачи, связанной с установлением принадлежности к ранее разделенным растительным массам. Проведена запись БИК-спектров экспертных образцов. Показана возможность интерпретации спектральных данных с применением дискриминантного анализа проекций на латентные структуры. Определены таксономический состав 8 435 пыльцевых зерен и спор, а также количественное содержание каждого таксона.

По результатам проведенного исследования сделан вывод, что применение комплекса независимых и взаимодополняющих методов позволяет получить необходимое и достаточное количество совпадающих признаков, которые могут быть признаны неповторимыми (уникальными), для проведения идентификации. Предложенная схема исследования может быть применена и для других наркотиков растительного происхождения.
