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

Well, I was kidding but thanks for trying to take it literally. i r sekz Posted at 7:04 am on Jan. 2, 2009 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. heatherette Posted at 6:13 am on Jan. 2, 2009 Quote: from ElizabethCox at 9:04 am on Jan. 2, 2009 So what's your stand on 'abusing' marijuana?
