Understanding the perceived benefits of using drugs to achieve specific mental states will provide novel insights into the reasons individuals seek to use drugs. However, the precision of attempts to instrumentalize drugs is unclear both across drugs and individuals. Moreover, mis-instrumentalization, defined as discrepancies between such endpoints, may have relevance to understanding the relation among use, abuse, and addiction.
了解使用药物来达到特定心理状态的感知益处，将为个体寻求使用药物的原因提供新的见解。然而，在不同药物和个体之间，尝试工具化药物的精确性尚不清楚。此外，定义为这些终点之间差异的错误工具化，可能与理解使用、滥用和成瘾之间的关系有关。
