Deniability.
Euthanasia is still illegal in most of the world (and yet is the moral thing to do at times). To avoid tangling with the long arm of the law, the medical staff overseeing a terminal patient will hint at what a deadly dosage would be, and leave the dosage control with a family member. So what if the coroner finds morphine - it's supposed to be there. 5-MeO-DMT (or any other non-medical compound), is far less innocuous, and could potentially open a legal can of worms for everyone involved.
