I have done my fair share of drugs and as much fun as they were, the experience was nowhere near close to the peak moments of my life to date. YMMV
Proposing to my fiancee, attending my brother's wedding, holding my nephew for the first time, winning my first boxing match, winning life-altering over-leveraged bets on the stock market; these are all experiences that not even the greatest of great trips can hold a candle to, and none of them came with comedowns. I've come to realise that drugs are the fast-food of experiences. You get that great sugar salt and fat rush but it's not really healthy and doesn't taste as great food prepared with love sweat and thought (IMO).
PS if you really love drugs, for me the best of the best is your own adrenaline (again YMMV)
"I have done my fair share of drugs and as much fun as they were, the experience was nowhere near close to the peak moments of my life to date."
That's not what they are saying, though. They said that they've had the happiest moments in their life on it. It might not be the best moment of your life, but you'll be freaking happy about it. There is no real comparison between a chemically-induced happiness and the enriching happiness of big life moments, and the chemically induced happy is definitely its own happy. It makes those big life moments even happier in retrospect, more so in the moment with some lasting long-term effect.
