What is LSD addiction?

LSDLSD is very easy to get addicted to and has been a problem in the past in Canada and is still a problem today. When you compare 1994 and 2004, the statistics show that LSD addiction rates have gone up and so LSD addiction is a problem in Canada. LSD addiction occurred a lot more 30 years ago but that doesn’t mean we have to overlook and not pay attention to those who need help.

In 1998, a study was made on LSD addiction within the Quebec population and they found that 1.5 per cent of them had taken LSD during the last year. LSD, right behind marijuana, is one of the drugs that people have used during their lifetimes. They also asked students in universities and found 1.8 per cent of them were abusing LSD. Where LSD is concerned, addiction is a very dangerous thing and should be taken care of. In Montreal in 2002, a study was made within the rave community and they found that more than 56 per cent of the young people surveyed said they had used LSD during the preceding year. This shows that LSD addiction often starts in places like parties and raves.

Ontario, especially North-western part, the LSD addiction rate is 4.1 percent. That is a bit higher than the Canadian national average of 1.7 per cent. This statistics for North-western Ontario has been stable for the last few years and unfortunately it isn’t going down. But with the students in the province, the LSD addiction rates have gone down. In 2003, the LSD addiction rates were at 2.9 per cent and in 2005 it decreased to 1.7 per cent.

Although LSD doesn’t really create a physical dependence, the people that use LSD often will develop a strong psychological addiction for the drug. Some people use LSD to escape reality and the high produced by LSD can really get a person hooked on the drug. There’s also another problem linked to LSD addiction, the addict will often develop a tolerance physically. And also the LSD addict will often feel the effects of the drugs long after he’s done using it.
