analog, 10 milliliters of a liquid substance containing phencyclidine
or its analog, two grams of plant material containing phencyclidine
or its analog, or five hand-rolled cigarettes treated with
phencyclidine or its analog, may be destroyed without a court order

section until all of the following requirements are satisfied:
(1) At least one gram of a crystalline substance containing phencyclidine or its analog, 10 milliliters of a liquid substance containing phencyclidine or its analog, two grams of plant material containing phencyclidine or its analog, or five hand-rolled cigarettes treated with phencyclidine or its analog have been taken as samples from the phencyclidine or analog to be destroyed.
(2) Photographs have been taken which reasonably demonstrate the total amount of phencyclidine or its analog to be destroyed.
(3) The gross weight of the phencyclidine or its analog has been determined by actually weighing the phencyclidine or analog.
(b) Subsequent to any destruction of phencyclidine or its analog, an affidavit shall be filed within 30 days in the court which has jurisdiction over any pending criminal proceedings pertaining to that phencyclidine or its analog, reciting the applicable information required by paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subdivision (a), together with information establishing the location of the phencyclidine or analog and specifying the date and time of the destruction. In the event that there are no criminal proceedings pending which pertain to that phencyclidine or analog, the affidavit may be filed in any court within the county which would have jurisdiction over a person against whom these criminal charges might be filed.
