This paper investigates, from the discussion of drug addiction, the notion of use for psychoanalysis. It appears that Lacan goes beyond the utilitarian thought of Bentham who points out that the value of use does not necessarily coincide with its value of enjoyment. Lacan introduces the notion of over-the-enjoy, from the added value of Marx and demonstrates that all discourse is articulated to an extraction of enjoyment. Denounces thus the usage value of a particular object is for each subject and thus the enjoyment has a value for the subject, since this puts it into use. This usage value of the enjoyment can be demonstrated by the fact that the subject does not decline to make use of enjoyment, even if this use places him at risk, a fact that the relationship with the drug proves all too well
