It's possible. The chemicals are not too dangerous, and yes, you can train yourself. Maybe it wouldn't fly in the EU.

May I ask why?

Because Europeans are afraid of everything. I was trying to avoid a comment that seemed politically charged but I don't know any other way to say it.

I was into hobby chemistry for a while -- people trying to do anything in the EU find it almost impossible. Poland and Eastern Europe are better about it, but eh.

Even in the US, chemistry is avoided and even deplored. Where are the Christmas chemistry sets of yore? People are scared to death by anything having to do with “chemistry”, yet they think nothing of jumping into brewing.
