Yeah, but my point is that I am not against drugs, just drug addictions. Even if it isn't physical I still dislike them.

LSD doesn't have a mental addiction either tho... with some rare exceptions most people need a decent amount of time between trips. Besides, you can't even experience any of the effects if you take it again within like two days.

I don't see how anything can not be addictive. Pretty much any obsession with anything can lead to an addiction and I don't see how a drug could be the exception. I would think that the measure of how addictive something is depends on the person...

I agree with that, but LSD does have certain properties that make it much less likely to become the subject of fixation rather than other drugs, like the fact that even if you took LSD every day you would probably only experience the effects one out of every three times, say, and that the body doesn't develop cravings for it, which is outside of the realm of the user's control.

So the nature of an LSD addiction would probably rest on whatever beliefs the user has about LSD, much like an addiction to Christianity or something. I think the results of such an addiction would probably be rather disruptive, but I wouldn't consider myself opposed to the addiction itself, simply because it is not of a physical nature.

That is very true. Time between trips give you time to basically sort out what just happened, because believe me it is often confusing.

(and not to nitpick or dissagree, but the time is 4-7 days
