Common Concepts in Drug Education

The following are the usual words you will encounter in studying substance use and abuse:
Drugs are any substances or chemicals which when taken into the body either though nasal, oral,
transdermal or intravenous way have psychological, emotional and behavioral effects on a person.
Drugs of abuse are drugs commonly abused by users. In the Philippines the three drugs of abuse are
shabu, marijuana and inhalants.

substance.
Drug misuse is the use of a substance incoherent or inconsistent with the prescribed dosage or
frequency of use.
Drug Abuse is the use of a substance for non-medicinal purposes. Abuse leads to organ damage
like brain damage and liver damage, addiction and troubled behavioral patterns.
Drug tolerance is the condition of the body to adapt to the effects of the substances to the body thus
requiring an even larger amount of the substance to experience the same physiological and mental
effect experienced when taking the smaller dosage.
