i mean to each their own but its pretty hard to get physically addicted to psychedelics because they have such diminishing returns. it usually takes 2-4 months between sessions for optimal highs depending on the dosage. But you do you.

Listen to me. I have been addicted to phone apps, to spending money on collage materials, to substances, as an early teen I was so addicted to being online (largely tumblr and reading fanfiction) that I completely destroyed my sleep schedule, stole a laptop, and learned to hack firewalls so I could circumvent my parents taking my phone away and blocking my favorite sites.

When someone says they have an addictive personality, that they cannot do something for risk of becoming dependent on it, it is NOT your place to "well actually-" them. You come across like a MASSIVE asshole, actually. You do not know my history with addiction, or with substance abuse, or the ways we've justified our addictions by saying "well you can't ACTUALLY get addicted to it". If it triggers dopamine, or adrenaline, or oxytocin, or a million other positive feeling neurotransmitters, you can get addicted to it. Do not come into my fucking house and tell me what our bodies are and are not capable of
