Question
drug abuse, drug misuse
scenario 1:
tony has a busy schedule. he goes to school and then works long hours at the local taco bell. recently, the schedule has become exhausting to keep up with. one of tonys older brothers has a medical marijuana card for chronic pain. to deal with the exhausting schedule, tony steals his brothers marijuana even though he knows he is not supposed to.
is this abuse, misuse or proper use?
answer:
Drug abuse refers to the use of a drug in a way that is not intended, often for non - medical purposes. Tony steals his brother's medical marijuana (which is intended for chronic pain treatment) to deal with his exhaustion from a busy schedule. This is not the medical purpose for which the marijuana is prescribed (even if it were his own, using it for non - prescribed reasons like just being tired would be misuse, but since he stole it, it is an even more egregious form of non - proper use).
