You're right, it's certainly more difficult. Still, individuals can't mass produce drugs like marijuana, cocaine, mushrooms, or acid. It is cheaper to mass produce and that leads to lower prices passed on to the consumer as well as quality control. My guess is that the same reason that factories won out during the industrial revolution would similarly lead to mass production winning out over the individual (for the most part) in this case.
Look at it this way: how many people grow their own food?
