I've never heard of someone accidentally OD'ing in the bathroom at a party from porn they thought was something else. But hey, people do some intense shite sometimes

Fair.

I think that many of the arguments against hard drugs are based on societal costs which aren’t rationally applied to other vice laws like gambling and porn.

Yes and no. Alcohol and cigarette distributors have to make good faith efforts (and sometimes beyond) to attempt to limit minors’ access to their products.

There isn’t the same requirement for porn distributors. Can you imagine a cigarette dispenser that simply had a “Are you over 21? Click yes or no” as its sole way of weeding out minor users.
