Drug dependence and drug abuse aren’t always the same. When a person is abusing a drug, it may or may not lead to drug dependence. While a person dependent on a drug doesn’t always mean he is taking it abusively. Let me defined the two terms to enlighten you.
Drug dependence is the physiologic or psychologic need of a drug for therapeutic or non-therapeutic purposes. It is often associated with substance abuse but doesn’t always have the same implication as drug abuse. However, drug dependents at times become drug abusers when they unnecessarily take more than what is prescribed.

I’m going to the bank today to withdraw some money that my wife will use for her review in the Nursing Board exam. My bank is the Philippine National Bank in Laoag City.
The problem I usually encounter is the very long queue in this bank because of the number of clients the bank has. At one time, it took me two hours to wait for my turn and I really fell asleep inside the bank. Damn, two hours of waiting is too much.
Now my schedule to withdraw is here again. I’m not sure how long shall I wait this time. I hope the queue is not that long so I can come back early and do my tasks as a blogger.
