That's the point, it's not. At least not any more than other drugs. Plenty of people try heroin or opioids and hate it.

I was spiked with heroin once. It didn't impress me - it made me feel a bit ill.

I've tried coke - good stuff, in good company, for an evening. It didn't impress me much.

I guess I was just lucky. I have an "addictive personality" - I drink way too much, and I'm a heavy smoker. I could easily have fallen into one of those holes, if I'd actually enjoyed those drugs. I found psychedelics much more engaging; but they're generally not addictive - after 3 days of continuous LSD use, no amount of LSD will get you tripping again. It's anti-addictive.

Where did I state that?
