Is it illegal to take a prescribed prescription in a non-prescribed way? For example, snorting pills.?

Question

As an example, if I am prescribed Vicodin for pain and instead of taking them orally, I chop them up and snort them.

I am not thinking or even wanting to do this, I am just trying to find out the info about drug laws in the U.S.

I would just like to know if it is illegal and where I could find a link to information about the law.

if you're snorting them, it's to get high; so yes it's illegal!

but than you're prescribed them; so that would be abusing them!
