Are the pleasures a drug-affected brain feels to be equated with other forms of pleasure?
Sorry about your lost, you mention his mother was addicted at his birth so he certainly had extremely poor capacity for intrinsic pleasure and probably happiness, seek relief in the fact that it is better to be dead than to be constantly suffering.
However you asked a question so let me answer it with my experience. Yes they can be equated (neurotransmitters are neurotransmitters ) and they can also be mixed with other pleasure, example: to me nothing from running 10 miles to skydiving can equate the pleasure I felt when fucking a girl I loved while on 2C-B, MDMA and cocaine; it surpass any pleasure, any rush I had experience otherwise. The thing is I did not to make an habit of it (or anything else that release great quantity of dopamine for that matter) else everything would have lost it's fun.
Now if you are talking about happiness: stability, power over your environment, and emotional fulfillment are a much better sources than what is produced artificially by SSRIs and "shopping therapy" and cie...
That statement was almost true until around 2007-2009 were the processor industry switched from an exponential cpu speed function to a linear or logarithmic one...
Definitions
n : floored integer
s : cpu speed
l : float between 0[ and ]1
p : float between [1 2[
s(n) : speed at month n
The function for Moore's law
s(0) : some number
s(n) : s(n/18)*2
A linear speed function
s(0) : some number
s(n) : l*(n-1)
A logarithmic speed function
s(0) : some number
s(n) : p*(n-1)
That shift is significant, now I.A. researchers must also consider speed and parallelism, they cannot rely on Moore's anymore...
