The analysis of the current criminogenic situation in the field of illegal distribution of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues among minors was carried out. It is argued that in the context of the development of information and telecommunication systems, the ways of involving minors in non-medical consumption, as well as the distribution of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues, have changed significantly. It is noted that new technologies have greatly simplified the communication carried out for criminal purposes. It is concluded that a highly efficient and extensive logistics network for the distribution of drugs has been created and is functioning, catalyzing the drug addiction of the population. Recommendations are formulated for improving the legislation and the system for the prevention of drug crimes among minors.
