Hedonism like anything else can be done poorly. The first and most important step is to optimize for what you actually enjoy and not just use the greedy algorithm of what feels good this second. The goal is to align effort with actual reward and not maximize meaningless numbers like total income.
Do you enjoy taking a lazy morning with 30 minutes of quiet reflection each day? Great, but don't assume that means you would be happy maximizing that and living in a monistic life.
The cost benefit on drugs is really complex for example, but so is having a committed relationship, or any other major life choice. That does not mean you should ignore the actual complexity of life, rather you should actually consider the cost benefits of where you live, what you do etc etc.
