If we could manufacture happiness, should we accept it?

Imagine someone creates this pill. When you take it, suddenly you become very happy. It has no harmful effects whatsoever. And it is able to be mass-produced. Should we accept it? I'm thinking, a lot of people would say, no, not at all. Because then people would lose the need to go out and create their own happiness. They'd just stay in their room all day high on this drug doing nothing. And then, as we get older, we'll find that we're not really good at anything. Because we never needed to get good at something to find happiness. Could this become reality? Might there be some big debate over this? I'm curious to see what y'all think as to whether or not we should accept it.

This is actually a really complicated issue.  You mention the concern that the contentment the pill provides will result in a lack of incentive to improve as people or develop a means of attaining happiness independently of the pill.  

Now, if we are taking happiness to mean levels of well being, and if we take the stand (as some do) that levels of well being are *all* that matter, and that all our other values matter only insofar as they promote our levels of well being, then it would be morally irrelevant what the source of the well being is.  If they would be happy no matter what, then it wouldn't matter on this view whether they were really good at guitar or not, or whether this happiness is deserved.

However, there is still the concern as to how sustainable this well being would be.  Presumably, since everybody is already at such a high level of well being, they may not seek out reward based experiences like relationships or sex, nor would they have much incentive to develop skills that would move us forward as a civilization.  So, if this pill would lead to the dying out of the human race, or the collapse of civilization, then in the long run human levels of well being would not be maximized by this pill, since it would be eliminating future people who might have had lives worth living.
