Drugs last a finite amount of time and then you are back to exactly who you are now.

To the contrary, the best evidence shows that some drugs can cause permanent (or at least very long-lasting) changes in brain chemistry or brain structure.

I read that line as : "if you're not enjoying your experience at all, don't worry, it'll wear off after a few hours".

I don't think anyone will claim here that the worst drug abuses won't cause long-term damage, but it's not the point.

Having a new experience also doesn't leave you back where you were before the experience.
