Let's see.
i. Pharma industry is enraged at the potentially massive loss of profits as people can just synthesize drugs at home without paying for a license.
ii. Pharma industry lobbies regulators to lock down the devices; since hungry billionaire interests aren't a very good enough reason, use War on Drugs pretext instead.

Probably.  It's not legal, but considering how it's an inherently private and victimless crime (unless you start selling it to other people like the greedy ferengi you are), it would probably be impossible to enforce.  It could also cause a moral panic thanks to the large concentration of idiots in the general population.
