re:"This has something to do with drugs?"

Yes. There are medications - drugs, that are derived from blood products.

My point is, why shouldn't a guy cooking meth face the same hurdles and requirements as a legitimate pharmaceutical company making amphetamines? Why shouldn't someone selling "Columbian" cocaine not face the same safety and marketing restrictions as someone making an antibiotic (or for that matter, a legitimate company making Cocaine)?
