WHAT IS A HAPPY LIFE?

I hate to bring up a common philosophical question HOWEVER I will do it anyway
If I gave you a drug that made you reallll happy, but functional, and is really addictive BUT i gave you a lifetime supply, enough to compensate for tolerance increases, would that be a happy life? Or is the happiness just "fake" Is natural happiness necessary if you get a rush every morning and every night? You get to hedonistically please your cravings for artificial bliss every time you want, but its never "real", and never "worked" for. Never for any reason aside from "lol im high af boi" Would that be a good life?

Sancho will get out his funk eventually. If he survives.
BUT if he were to die tonight, will his life have been good? I mean, the dude has been higher than 99.999% of everyone who's ever lived ever. Probably experienced levels of euphoria that none of us can fathom. Is that considered the ultimate level of life experience? Or does it have to be real?

To be honest I dont buy that "levels of euphoria" stuff. Theres a point of diminishing returns. Even with unlimited supply, your body would give out well before you could live a reasonable amount of time on insane doses of your DOC.
Not to mention that theres more to life than drug induced euphoria. There needs to be struggle or shit gets depressing quick.

No, I dont believe drugs alone could make a good life, anymore than I view samadhi as an end goal in life.

No things get difficult with a struggle, upsetting. Ive met a few spoiled kids who absolutely hated their life and their family, because they had no adversity and where miserably depressed.

i think that COULD be a happy life because drugs are not all of life, it depends on what the rest of your life is.

I feel like happy and euphoria are similar yet happy has some strange ego attachment associated with innocence and youth.
Where euphoria is the grown up version when you should know when too much of a good thing will end up no longer being a equally good thing.

Having a happy life is such an individualized experience that even you won't know how to live a happy life for yourself until you really get to know the real "you"

We aren't supposed to be happy all the time. Negative experiences help us to grow and develop as individuals. We need to have really bad times to appreciate the good ones, otherwise we'd just be hollow 'happy' zombies. how mundane.

I mean, it's still just a drug, not a magic happiness serum. If your dog dies while youre high youre still sad. If someone rear ends your car,youre still pissed. If someone kicks the shit out of you, it still hurts. If your ex fucks a better dude than you, you get jealous. Just a little easier to cope. Cuz youre high, and get to go home and get more high

“For what prevents us from saying that the happy life is to have a mind that is free, lofty, fearless and steadfast - a mind that is placed beyond the reach of fear, beyond the reach of desire, that counts virtue the only good, baseness the only evil, and all else but a worthless mass of things, which come and go without increasing or diminishing the highest good, and neither subtract any part from the happy life nor add any part to it? A man thus grounded must, whether he wills or not, necessarily be attended by constant cheerfulness and a joy that is deep and issues from deep within, since he finds delight in his own resources, and desires no joys greater than his inner joys.” ― Seneca, The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca: Essays and Letters
