Journal of Substance Use March 4, 2019 Tamonud Modak, Roshan Bhad, Ravindra Rao 7 citations
A case report describes a person who used LSD continuously for two years as his primary drug, developing craving and tolerance that did not disappear rapidly upon discontinuation, contrary to typical understanding. The individual experienced both physical and psychological symptoms when stopping LSD, factors that contributed to continued use. The authors state this is the first report of physical dependence to LSD, as the literature has previously indicated that LSD causes only psychological dependence and that continuous use is unknown.
