A drug that arguably should be legal: a combined dysphoric / time-release euphoric, that initially causes incredibly unpleasant sensations in the mind, then after a few hours, releases chemicals that create incredibly pleasant sensations. Since humans discount time fairly aggressively, it seems possible to me to balance this so that it creates stronger, and longer positive experiences, while still not being addictive, due to the immediate negative sensations associated with it.
The unpleasant initial effects can include characteristics of the pill itself, being quite spicy and bitter, with an unpleasant texture, as well as chemical effects: large doses of dyphenhydramine, or a similar chemical that wears off faster, will make the product much less desirable to use, meaning the eventual high can be even more intense and sustained without forming habits
