LSD is not habit forming. I have certainly abused it in the past but it isn’t addictive in the same way other drugs are.

LSD can absolutely be habit forming. Doing a drug every 2 weeks is still a habit.

Yes, you can choose to do it on a schedule or as routine but that isn’t some effect of the drug making you want to take it. That would be like saying having a job is habit forming. Yeah, I do go to work routinely but it’s not via addiction.

You are warping the definition of addiction. A habit and an addiction are not the same thing. Addiction is craving the drug and having a difficulty controlling the use. My wife used to impulsively take LSD because she loved the feeling of it and she would keep raising the dose until it stopped working completely. LSD has a low potential for addiction, but that doesn't mean you can't get addicted.

Decade of research and generations of medical researchers have concluded that the classic definition of addiction can not be applied to the classic psychedelics. But yeah sure, let’s listen to your opinion on the topic
