What Are the Differences Between Drug Abuse and Drug Misuse?
Question by SweetAngel: What are the differences between drug abuse and drug misuse?
My opinion is that drug abuse is taking prescribed medication constantly, being addicted to the medication. Drug misuse i think is having prescribed medication and taking in ways that your not supposed to and taking more than the prescription says to take. I also think that one leads to the other.

Drug abuse is knowingly taking drugs that are in no way helping you and possibly not even prescribed to you.
