Should I mention doing dangerous home chemistry reactions in my personal statment?

I'm in Y12, studying maths, chemistry, and physics, and planning to study either chemistry or pharmacy at uni. One of my favourite hobbies is dabbling in a little home chemistry, especially making dangerous chemicals (eg, I have made HCN). I'm wondering whether I should include this in my personal statement. My friends say that I should discuss the home chemistry as it shows skill and interest in the subject, but should neglect to mention the more dangerous reactions as it may make universities reject me for fear of safety issues or concerns over my sanity. I disagree: I think that my skill in handling dangerous chemicals safely would reflect positively on me, or at the very least make me stand out amongst the other applicants. Who do you agree with?
I'm currently in year 11 and so I doubt my views should be considered heavily, but I slightly agree with your friends. You could mention your home chemistry skills and how you have become skilled at dealing with dangerous chemicals safely but maybe don't show that your'e overly interested in the dangerous aspects of it. I'm sure that your personal interest and passion will stand out, regardless of you mentioning the dangerous chemicals that are involved in your experiments as long as you manage to convey how keen you are in the subjects you wish to pursue.

IF you mention it on your personal statement, make sure it is ABUNDANTLY clear what safety precautions you took and ideally give a very good reason for why you were making the chemicals in the first place aside from 'dangerous is fun' which I don't think is something they would like to be hearing from a prospective pharmacy student. I don't know anything about this specific area of uni applications, but I can imagine mentioning the home chemistry will be fairly impressive to them, but I don't think they will be all too interested in the dangerous aspect. My suggestion is perhaps talk about a chemical that is difficult to make (i.e. requires a lot of precision to make) rather than something dangerous you made.
