Edit: Sigh… I got the dystopia wrong. Apparently everyone is apathetic in 1984 of their own free will and just drink, smoke and do morphine.
Brave New World is apathy through euphoria through soma.
Which yeah, drugged euphoria is not happiness.

There are definitely drugs that make you happy.
I love drugs, but, like another commenter pointed out, feeling happy is different than being happy.
I was happy once, some long time ago - nowadays i sometimes make myself feel happy.
I’d love to be happy again, in exchange for never having access to drugs again.
Euphoric. Drugs that make you euphoric.
