Abstract
Detectable amounts of morphine are apparently deposited in the hair of the head after long-term abuse. In 10 of 20 drug-induced deaths investigated it was possible to determine morphine values between 0.1–1 mg/100g of hair with the appropriate preparation and application of sensitive, specific techniques. The method is suitable to prove prolonged abuse of morphine or heroin. Morphin lagert sich offensichtlich bei längerem Mißbrauch in den Kopfhaaren in nachweisbaren Mengen ab. Durch entsprechende Aufarbeitung und Anwendung empfindlicher, spezifischer Verfahren konnten in 10 von 20 untersuchten Drogentodesfällen Morphinwerte zwischen 0,1–1 mg/100g Haare erhalten werden. Die Methode ist geeignet, einen längeren Mißbrauch von Morphin bzw. Heroin aufzudecken.Keywords
