It would probably be helpful to define abuse of drugs as not being able to function in society as a result of use. The clinical definition of using more than the prescribed dose isn't very helpful. Depending on the drug a higher dose can be desirable for different reasons.
If somebody wants to check out of society I don't want to stop them. That is their choice. But if they are trying to participate in society and struggling with drug abuse we should try to help them.

- tastyfreeze 6y agoSome, not all. You can see escapist users with nearly all drugs that provide it. I have encountered users that are consuming because they dont want to feel anything at least for a little while, to "check out". But most users of a variety of drugs are doing it for entertainment or experience, to enjoy living.
