LSD is not a drug that you can develop an addiction to. Habit is one thing—some people take it regularly—but it doesn't work very well if you do take it frequently.

Which is not to say that LSD can't potentially be harmful. Of course it can. But it's not very analogous to the typically destructive drugs (alcohol, amphetamines, strong opiates) and it's not going to mess with your dopamine the way they do.

You can develop a psychological addiction to any experience, and some like LSD.

Once every week or so for a while is perfectly doable.

Agreed, very different kinds of substances.
