The objective of the article is to attract attention of legal investigators and forensic medical experts to the necessity of a closer cooperation in criminal cases related to illicit traffic in narcotic drugs with the aim of better investigation of such cases. The author shows one of the peculiar features of illicit traffic in narcotic drugs, which means that all crimes in this sphere are closely interconnected, mutually interdependent, and in principle cannot be executed independently. The author underlines the role of a forensic medical examination of material evidences not only in order to determine persons involved in illegal actions with narcotic drugs, but also to determine their functional responsibilities in the structure of a criminal organization engaged in this traffic. There is a conclusion about the necessity of further close cooperation between legal investigators and forensic medical experts on the basis of the forms of cooperation proposed by the author.
