Although people say they are addicted to the drug, they are actually talking about the feeling of it. LSD isn’t an addictive drug by any means, there isn’t a rehab center for it. If people regularly use it are the people that only do it once a week, as it is if you use it twice a week you are consider a “heavy user.” Every trip is different, and you are gambling to see if you will have a “good” trip or a “bad” one. Other drug users need that stable and consistent trip, hence why they become addicted to their respective drug of choice.
This is a documentary that I saw, super amazing. I warn you it is about an hour long. But if you want to experience a "trip" look at the bottom picture for a minute and then look at the wall.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
