Does anyone who takes a drug have a problem?

No. There are different ways in which a person could use drugs.

• Trying once or twice is very common. It is typically seen in young people.

• Casual use is the next most common type of drug use. This is especially true of drugs like cannabis. Most people who use this drug do so only occasionally and their daily lives and health are not affected.

• Traditional use is the use of specific drugs, as accepted by the local culture, on specific occasions.

• Dependence is the least common type of drug use but is, obviously, the type you should be most concerned about.
