    Mate the first line of that publication is flat wrong

    This review is on lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), which has a halogenic effect and is addictive.

    LSD is not addictive. I’m not going to bother reading any farther after such a ridiculous claim.

      Couldn’t help myself, this is 2 sentences later

      The final decision about whether it is addictive or not is undecided.

      How do these people take themselves seriously!?

      Well literally anything can be addictive. People are addicted to gambling, to buying things online. To buying action figures or labubus.

      But because lsd does not cause euphoria effects, it’s not typically considered chemically addictive. But there is not a complete consensus on this in the scientific community. Because it can still be behaviorally addictive. But as I said. Literally anything can be behaviorally addictive so that’s almost a moot point.
