The addictive potential is something that pertains to each organism, not to the drug. Some people can stop smoking tobacco overnight while others lose years attempting to do so.

What drug causes a physical and psychological yearn?

Both alcohol and opiates (opium, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, Suboxone, etc.) are physically addictive. As far as I know, they are the only drugs that are physically addictive. Amphetamines, methamphetamines and cocaine are extremely psychologically addictive, as well as chemically addictive, but not physically addictive. Ecstasy also has a fairly high potential for psychological and chemical addiction, but it is not as addictive as speed, meth, or coke. Hallucinogens (LSD, marijuana, salvia, peyote, mescaline) are neither chemically addictive nor physically addictive. They can be psychologically addictive, though.


What makes LSD addictive?

Before this question is answered a distinction must be made between ecstasy and ecstasy pills. Ecstasy is one of the many street names for the chemical MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) where as ecstasy pills are tablets which are claimed to contain MDMA but may in fact contain any number of chemicals. MDMA is NOT physically addictive. It is not addictive in the way that drugs such as alcohol, nicotine and heroine are addictive. Having said this, it has been considered to be mentally addictive for some people. Ecstasy pills may contain any number of chemicals that are not MDMA and some of these may be addictive. The two most common addictive drugs that are found in ecstasy tablets are caffeine and amphetamines. Contrary to popular belief, Heroin and other opiates are rarely found in tables sold as ecstasy. In tests preformed by the EcstasyData.org, less then 0.1% of tablets tested contained any opiates. In summary, MDMA (ecstasy) is NOT addictive. Ecstasy pills occasionally contain other drugs that are not MDMA and that may be addictive. The dose and method of consumption (oral) of ecstasy tablets do not often lead to physical addiction to these chemicals.


Is ecstasy physically or mentally addictive?

Ecstasy is considered physically addictive but usually only people that take it in large quantities and/or are casual users get addicted physically. People a lot of the time will just take the drug to feel better physically as you don't feel as good when your coming down or have recently come down from ecstasy so because users don't feel good they take more ecstasy to combat the bad feeling they experience, this is why it is considered physically addictive.
