LSD is not addictive in the conventional sense, it does not produce physical dependence or compulsive use patterns

Confirmed LSD: My Problem Child

No evidence of physical dependence (withdrawal syndrome on cessation). Rapid tolerance development means compulsive daily use is self-limiting. Population surveys (Global Drug Survey) consistently find LSD at the bottom of addiction rankings. The WHO ECDD (2019) found no evidence supporting current scheduling on addiction grounds (Source not found; under review). A claim that DEA data rank LSD lowest in abuse potential per capita could not be confirmed (Source not found; under review).
