I think that largely depends on the class of drugs and their addictive potential. Generally psychedelics are viewed as having lower potential for addiction or abuse than other classes of drugs, such as opiates or even alcohol and, I think most importantly, steps such as decriminalization may help with broader arguments that would allow for more research in to the medicinal uses and effects of these drugs.

Psilocybin in particular shows great promise in helping people cope with addiction to other substances in rather productive ways. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/201705/radical-n... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6007659/
