Drug abuse has a wide range of definitions related to taking a psychoactive drug or recreational drug for a non-therapeutic or non-medical effect. Use of these drugs may lead to criminal penalty in addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm, both strongly depending on local jurisdiction. Other definitions of drug abuse fall into four main categories: public health definitions, mass communication and vernacular usage, medical definitions, and political and criminal justice definitions.
