This sounds like dangerous clickbait. It's entirely expected that someone whose job it is to study the effect of drugs would have a much better understanding of how to not become addicted
His assertion the 70% of all drug users including alcohol and prescription users aren't addicted if anything seems extremely low to me. I'd say the vast majority of my friends drink alcohol and are more than likely on prescription drugs but I don't think any of them are addicts
Which means that the other less common drugs must be a lot more addictive to bring the number down to 70%
I get the point the article is trying to make, but its headline and opening paragraphs frame it more as a "decriminalise all drugs" article
