Psychedelics won't hook you. You will be very overwhelmed the first time and you will think about the experience and if it was pleasurable, you will probably be open to doing it again but it's not an addictive experience unless you want it to be. And even then it will take you a long time to develop an addiction. One hit of LSD or some mushroom chocolates with people you can trust and enjoy being around would should be something everyone tries once. The art of the 60s will definitely have a whole new meaning.
Best time I ever had, doing MDMA and listening to "Surrealistic Pillow" by Jefferson Airplane. I didn't even care that everyone around me was hooking up, I was in it for the jams!
I used to get mushroom tootsie rolls from a friend of mine. They're kinda fun. I've only taken them like 3 or 4 times though, and it's been a couple years since.
Like you said it's not really addictive unless you want it to be. Tbh I think the reason I don't find it addictive at all is that one time I just had a negative trip. Like it wasn't really bad, but it just didn't feel right.
