Do you think drug abuse would be considered a form of self harm?

If I'm "abusing" drugs or any substance then of course I'm abusing/harming myself

To me it is. The key being abuse i.e. something that is endangering your physical, mental or emotional health then yes it is self harm

Yes, of course. The minute you insert the word abuse it is harm. If the person is abusing drugs and doing harm, it is definitely self harm.

Using drugs responsibly isn't, but ruining your life with them is self harm indeed.

Yes.

Most people who take drugs are already aware of their effects and to then get themselves in that situation willingly is a form of self harm.

Of course it is. Most drugs are dangerous as it is let alone if there abused. So yea you are indeed harming your self if you abuse drugs, legal or illegal.

the drugs are a petty substance to imprison the defeated souls who pursue to feel good with themselves.

yes, you could even go as far as saying it's a form of masochism, damaging your body for pleasure.

yea, willingly committing a silent suicide

Yes , it is.

😷Hell yeah, that one is a given taken into account the numerous amounts of death and destruction hard drugs have introduced to all creatures as well as humans!🤓

Abuse is, by definition, self harm, recreation is another matter.

yes it is so is smoking and drinking. its just its become acceptable.

I think that's too simplistic.

Depends on the drug.

Of course. Any unnecessary action done to oneself likely to shorten life---drug abuse would qualify---is self-harm.
