addictive is quite a loose term, things like weed and acid may not cause a chemical addiction - but they are extremely habit forming.

  LSD is habit forming? ...and although many people (myself included) use cannabis in a habitual way, I don't think it's "extremely" habit forming. If cannabis represents the extreme in this metric, then it is a very flat extreme since it also has to include sugar, crack cocaine, nicotine, etc, users of which obviously develop much more dire habits much more quickly. I don't know that either of these are habit forming so much as that people realize their benefit and choose to use them in some sort of routine.

    sorry i was referring to microdosing lsd. everyone has their experiences, personally i know a few people whos smoking habits have been detrimental to themselves. i think theres this mantra of "its not addictive - legalise it!" when there are other qualities of these substances that may cause issues, however it's very hard to place weed on a scale of consumption benefit compared to other substances. For me, smoking a lot of weed deprecates my memory significantly, something which i value quite highly, things like sugar and nicotine to not do this. dire effects of these habits are also hard to quantify - i value mental health over physical health... i'd rather be addicted to cigs than be addicted [sic] to weed!

  Not in the same manner of alcoholism or stimulant/opioid addiction. Especially the psychedelic drugs. They punish harshly for trying to "trip" multiple times in a row. You'd have to take an absurd amount to abuse it in the same manner as the classical "hard" drugs. It's incredibly easy to restrain oneself to a 1xweek usage. It's like a incredibly cheap Friday night trip to the movies in that context. t. Someone who's tripped hundreds of times with no ill symptoms PS: Sunrises are so godamn beautiful on the comedown. If only one could bequeath the beauty of such moments as a shareable gift.
