LSD is not addictive. Actually it’s the opposite, I take it way less than I would because I just forget regularly or I don’t want to take it at all. I take it (microdose) maybe once a week instead of once every three days.

I do want to take a bigger dose again because of the healing effects it had the first time but I’ve been procrastinating it for the last 6 months. So I’m stuck with irregular microdosing.

Also the effects are really long, like 12 hours. While it’s not an issue when you microdose (because you barely feel anything), it’s extremely complicated to find the right time to take anything bigger than that.

You need a full day free of any responsibility, in a good place and you need to want to dedicate the day to it. I have a job and I’m a dad so let me tell you that those days never happen :D

And the only time I took a biggest dose (half a tab), I felt very good after it but, hard to describe, I was was satisfied/happy with my experience and with the effects but still I just didn’t want to redo it for multiple months, not because it wasn’t good but because I felt I didn’t need it anymore.
