In this study we report on five higly significant cases regarding drugs of abuse addicts, confirmed either from knowledge of case circumstances, evidence at the scene or the detection of drugs and their metabolites in conventional specimens (blood, urine). We present the importance of adipose tissue analysis, which has gained an interesting significance in forensic toxicology if utilized as an alternative or complement to usual samples to evaluate the pharmacological story. Real samples analyzed in this study were obtained from autopsies performed atthe University of Bari (Italy) from January 2010 to February 2013 and frozen for subsequent analysy
