Is there a meaningful difference between drug use and abuse?

howhigh @howhigh (757) • Canada 24 Apr 07

Do the legalities of the situation come into play? How much? I think i could defend that any sort of drug use is like a crutch, but then a lot of things can be fashioned that way. What becomes abuse? Or am I way off...

Is it okey if the woman will take the first move to court?

robert19ph @robert19ph (4577) • Philippines 23 Apr 07

In a way, why not if the guy is not brave enough to do it especially if you both know that you like each other. In this way you'll get to know each other more.
