It also fits in with the idea that someone who does not know what they're doing will probably end up burning down their home trying to make these drugs, i.e. no chemistry knowledge, no dangerous goods knowledge then you probably should make a better career choice because you'll probably end up killing yourself.
I'm with you on most of this but I'm not sure a skill minimum requirement is necessary. Instead, set the difficulty to Average for "personal use" batches, Formidable for "resale" amounts, and Impossible for "industrial" quantities. Catastrophic failures will take care of those who overreach themselves.
