Annotation: The purpose of the article is to consider the relationship between the conditions in which drug crimes are com- mitted and the content of the criminal situation that inevitably arises. It is noted that this category has not been practically studied in the forensic context. However, it is the existing conditions that affect not only the completion of illegal actions but also the mechanisms of trace formation, which reflect both the criminal’s personal charac- teristics and the subject of the offense. This, in turn, determines the choice of technical means and tactics when conducting investigative actions; direction of the investigation; and also identification of all circumstances that allow us to find out the full picture of the occurred criminal event. The emphasis is placed on the dependence of the conditions existing at the time of the crime on the place and time of the criminal intent. Understanding them in a forensic manner is crucial for conducting a complete, comprehensive, and objective investigation. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
