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.

There are licensed doctors, pharmacists and scientists who spend their lives working on drugs that treat something but also unintentionally cause side effects. What makes you think your average idiot will know better about synthesis than these guys? IMO, if people really want to learn about drugs, why not study pharmacology at university?
