It seems like there ought to be a difference between my reasons not to self-modify into someone who enjoys something I don't object to but don't particularly enjoy, and my reasons not to self-modify into someone who enjoys something I object to. (Of course, I'm not obligated to object to heroin use, either, but if I don't my response to your hypothetical is "Yeah, so what's the problem?", which I assume isn't the response you were looking to evoke.)

Good point. That reminded me of a LW post I once saw about a three-dimensional classification of desires according to “wanting”, “enjoying” and “endorsing”, which I can't find at the moment.
