I would encourage you to not give in to this fallacious usage of word, even if many people use it that way. This view has arguably created more harm than the drugs themselves.
Here is the definition from Wikipedia [0], which I think is much more appropriate (and I'm guessing you'd agree with it): "Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, is use of a drug in amounts or by methods which are harmful to the individual or others."
