Answer by Sportsgamer123
Drug abuse is the intentional use of a drug.
Drug misuse is the unintentional incorrect use of a drug.
People who have drug misuse or drug abuse sometimes use a high dosage of the drug. Regardless, when people are drug abusers or drug misusers, that means that they weren’t following the directions of a drug label.

Hope I helped.

Misuse is accidental, like taking too much by mistake or using a drug for the wrong problem, (most often by mixing up similar drug names).
Abuse os intentionally taking a drug for something other than the prescribed intention. Like taking percocet when you’re not in pain to feel euphoric.
