Happiness is just a evolutionary adaptation to try and get the organism to do what is deemed to be best.
It is impossable to achieve lasting happiness. It is an illusion that you can, thats why most of us are here, that is what keeps us going, the hope that you can gain control over ones own hedonic capacity. The illusion of free will.
The brain is so fundimentally flawed. It is wired with feedback loops on its feedback loops, it knows every trick in the book, it is always one step ahead, it cannot be outsmarted.
The brain will adjust to whatever you give it.
The only guarente in life is that whatever gives you happiness will eventually fade away. Happiness is only to "keep you going" just as an orgasm is to get you to procreate. Apparently, it is not in an ones best interest to remain happy.
I am not going to sit here and try to convince you that any drug will ever make you happy because I don't believe it is possable.
