Hate to break it to you, but LSD isn't addictive....
In fact, the way it works, it is in fact counter-addictive.

You see, when you take LSD, you build up a tolerance to it.
If you took the same amount the next day, you'd have a much reduced effect.
Take double the abount and it'd give a similar effect.
This tolerance continues to build, until it has no effect whatsoever, no
matter how much you take...

In order to have a trip of the same intensity as the first, with the same
amount, you have to wait a couple of weeks for the tolerance to wear off....
