Question

Explain the differences among the definitions of drug misuse, drug abuse, and deviant drug use

Answer 1

This should be in biology, however this is the answer:

• Deviant drug use is drug use that is not common within a social group and that is disapproved of by the majority.

• Drug misuse generally refers to the use of drugs or chemicals in greater amounts than, or for purposes other than, those prescribed or intended by the manufacturer.

• Drug abuse is substance use in a manner or amount or in situations such that it causes social, occupational, psychological, or physical problems.
