Is drug use or drug ABUSE the gateway for other types of abuse?

Question by Heavy Pen: Is drug use or drug ABUSE the gateway for other types of abuse?
Could I be on the correct track?
Fact! People are going to take drugs. Good drugs: medical purposes,
So-so Drugs: recreational drugs, Alcohol, Marijuana.
Bad drugs: Abuse, Addiction.
Alcohol is a drug and is legal, a depressant actually.
There will all ways be drug use, and for some drug abuse and addiction.
So to redefine the question:
Is drug use in general, or the abuse of drugs that are one of the leading causes of child abuse, sex abuse, power abuse, and other negative forms of abuse?
Not the only, very unfortunately for the rest of us, there are people that abuse others that are not on drugs.(Mental Issues) I’m thinking there would be a lot LESS abuse, if people did not abuse drugs. The world does have all kinds of people.
The real question is: Shouldn’t the parents teach their children about drugs and drug abuse to help reduce other types of abuse?
Drug abuse is just the Band-Aid, for the real problem isn’t it? The gateway is trying to remove yourself from some inner pain.
For the most part, drugs are good, used in the wrong way/abuse, drugs are bad. Then there are a lot of other ways people deal with that same kind of pain. Go shopping, eat, laugh(the best), and more ways than I want to try and define.

Use, Jesus made some wine I hear; I would have liked to have tasted that wine.

People work hard, study hard, nothing wrong with a slight separation of the daily pressures of life. Meaning that having a couple of beers or drinks, smoking a joint (Pro-choice) to RELAX is all good. Stepping over the line to abuse is not. Thus, drug abuse is not a gateway, only a vehicle for other abuses.

I think you need to clarify your question. My grandmother takes drugs (medication) and not abusing anything.

Abuse goes hand in hand with addiction. There are many people who are addicted to one substance and nothing else. However, there are some personalities who are proned to addiction and abuse many drugs.

I think there is a far stretch with drug abuse and non-substance abuse – physical abuse for example.
