It’s considered bad because somebody thought it was bad so they put it on the list. Sometimes politicians want to look like they are “addressing a problem” in order to win political support, and they ban or regulate something that isn’t really a problem.
Elected officials tend to make decisions their voters agree with or care strongly about, not always the “right” decision from a medical or scientific perspective.
Appointed officials like the head of the DEA are not supposed to conform to public pressure or opinion, but they are out in place by elected officials and can often be fired by them, so they are still pressured by what voters and/or a political party feels is right.
