As a chemist myself who would feel comfortable doing some of the synthesis in the video, and who trusts their sterile technique. I would never inject something I’ve made.
I am familiar with drug regulation, and the amount of validation and such needed for sterile injectables is quite intense. That’s why there is the FDA and other organizations who regulate this sort of thing.

Maybe people could do safe margins from a product? Like a really safe dosage of something but that would still be effective? Research could advance on that field, instead of going in the direction of “closing the source” even more. There are more and more safety rules, but what if scientists take safety to heart and research on creating safe medication that could be applied on large or unregulated doses?

I think the issue is that due to capitalism, for some people, their options can be either to take the risk to create these medicines themselves, or suffer and die due to lack of access.
