>I was reading the Wikipedia article on euphoria and it says that children can generate euphoria in themselves by playing. We don't really want to regress to this state

I wouldn't mind it at all. To actually get pleasure out of play.

>- it's just the emotional neutrality and sense of hope and freedom that I think that we miss. I used to wake up every morning wondering what the day would bring. Really this is most of what I really want from my meds.

Children play naturally. There is no reason to stop but it often happens. Perhaps humour is a kind of play? Play can come into many things and the lack it it is a loss. I am just thinking out loud, but sex minus play is just regimented performance?

That sense of emotional neutrality you mention is valuable. It is what I notice with emotionally healthy children, and is also similar to the state I recall from productive psiloscybin experiences. In one of those I felt consciousness to be, in and of itself, really pleasurable, rather than being a calamity.
