If I take more than the prescribed dose of vicoden, or drinking a bottle of vodka, I'm not abusing those substances, but inviting them into my body with warm, open arms.

Abusing it would be to pour the vodka and pills down the drain.

Thats why they did it, to discourage you from smoking, not to make it illegal.

Well, to use it is kind of abuse, seeing as you are setting it on fire. Chewing it would be abuse too. DAMN, I cant think of a use that isnt abusing the poor thing

Abuse is an interesting term.  Medically it means taking more than the prescribed amount or when you don't need it.  The psychological definition means any time a substance interferes with your daily activities.
