Most drugs are extremely crude. Pleasure drugs usually work simply by inducing your body to dump all its supply of endorphins into your system at once.
NLP includes a technique for mentally recreating some drug-induced states; I’ve never tried it myself, since I’ve never taken any drugs. But perhaps those people here who have tried drugs might give it a shot and see if it works. It’s in chapter 9 of the book, “Change Your Mind… And Keep The Change”. You might be able to find it in a library near you.
If it works, be sure to report back with the specific kinesthetic strategies you discover for useful or interesting states. ;-)

I think at some point we’ll be able to induce brain states without such crude methods (think of the inducer in The Lathe of Heaven if you’ve read it)
