These terms are often used interchangeably in the non-medical realm. There is, however, a thin but clear difference between these two words. According to Barret (2008), prescription misuse has many definitions based on the type of drug prescription, uses without prescription, and intentional use to achieve intoxicating effects.

Barret states, “Gun-control advocates, meanwhile, are sending signals that they, too, expect Obama to take action” (qtd. in Barret 48).
