Two of the most transcendent experiences of happiness were when I took peyote or mescaline all those decades ago. I also tried LSD and psyillicybin a number of times and had some very good trips with them, but also some not so wonderful trips. Peyote or mescaline never failed to impress and make me just blissful.
