Yeah my feeling is more that due to practical problems, the idea isn't universally applicable. A motorbiker who dies in a crash isn't around to tell us he's cool with it, and his distraught family often won't be cool with it. So the "yeah the consequences are fine" voice often won't get heard. A motorbiker who gets left in a wheelchair might have a change of heart, and sue someone for compensation. Who wouldn't, if millions of dollars are on offer? Drunk driving endangers other road users and I support it being illegal, but some might say a drunk driver hasn't harmed others until they've actually caused an accident. Once you start adding in statistical harms done to society as a whole, that opens up a big can of worms. I feel that legalising the supply of all addictive drugs probably wouldn't be good public policy. However, I'm in favour of beer, porn, gay rights and music with offensive lyrics under the principle that if you're not harming anyone the government should get off your back.
