This is interesting how 'Drug' is cognate of 'द्राक्ष' !
द्रु -- द्रव -- द्रावति - दृग (eye) द्रोण (crucible), द्राक्ष (grapes), all have origin in the root-verb 'द्रु' .
Even the 'Drucks' and 'drink' too.
There is yet another word 'RudrAkSha' / रुद्राक्ष meaning Elaeocarpus ganitrus rox (?).
This may also be intriguing how the fruit grape(s) turned into 'RudrAkSha' / रुद्राक्ष or Conversely the 'RudrAkSha' / रुद्राक्ष into 'grape(s).
No wonder 'RudrAkSha' / रुद्राक्ष helps one transcending the transient mundane world of things while 'drAkSha' / द्राक्ष keeps one attached to the same.
Gita (गीता) Chapter 18 tells us there are 3 kinds of 'pleasure'(सुखं).
सुखं त्विदानीं त्रिविधं श्रुणु मे भरतर्षभ।
अभ्यासाद्रमते यत्र दुःखान्तं च निगच्छति।।36
यत्तदग्रे विषमिव परिणामेऽमृतोपमम्।
तत्सुखं सात्विकं प्रोक्तमात्मबुद्धिप्रसादजम्।।37
विषयेंद्रियसंयोगाद्यत्तदग्रेऽमृतोपमम्।
परिणामे विषमिव तत्सुखं राजसं स्मृतम्।।38
यदग्रे चानुबन्धे च सुखं मोहनमात्मनः।
निद्रालस्यप्रमादोत्थं तत्तामसमुदाहृतम्।।39

Toiling in gym is though a lot of physical exercise and one may not want to go through this whole thing, but the results are fantastic and it keeps the fitness perfect.
This is kind of pleasure that is called सात्विकं / sattvikaM.
Playing football is somewhat like this, but there is far more thrill, excitement and ultimately enthrallment or grief according to the result if one wins or loses.
This is kind of pleasure that is called राजसं / rAjasaM.
The Drugs however give one a bout whereby one's sense are made so insensitive that neither the joy nor the sorrow are experienced. The absence of sorrow is taken as pleasure which is just silly.
This is kind of pleasure that is called तामसं / tAmasaM.
