Would you rather:
1) be on LSD for the rest of your life, or
2) be on heroin for the rest of your life?
However you put it - option 1 is way more attractive, because it makes you a god, whereas option 2 makes you - essentially - a vegetable.
The problem with "maximum happiness" - or indeed any level of sustained happiness - is that one you reach it you quickly become desensitized to it. That's why heroin junkies spend most of their short lives desperately chasing the feeling of that first hit.
This is theoretical, as I wrote it, you wouldn't get desensitized.
