Most hallucinogens are not addictive. Ketamine is one notable exception, as this drug is known for having a fairly significant potential for psychological addiction. Drugs such as DXM can also be psychologically addictive in certain individuals, but in general, hallucinogens are much less likely to cause addiction than other classes of substances.
