It seems like it's aimed at people who would have terrible outcomes without it, e.g. terminal diseases that can be cured but for more money than a person can afford. Unfortunately, an unregulated diy pharmacy looks a lot better than current systems to many people. There's a ton of risk in this, but desperate people will find that risk acceptable.
