I'd rather make my own that way I can determine the strength of it. I'm not going to waste my strongest, most expensive ingredients on some skinny arse elf. Either way, it seems pretty silly that an assassin can create a dagger with damaging poison but a poison thief can't.

You may have missed my point. From my experience, a drow whip will poison sooner and more often than my dagger with neurologic on it.

Don't want inhaled emetic. Since it would no dobut be impossible to do in combat and could only be used to initiate combat, it would negate backstab. I'd much rather drive my dagger between their shoulder blades and watch them heave lunch all over eastern road.

There are ingredients available for sale at lvl 15 other than hillcrest, it's just a matter of looking for them. Dropped ingredients have recently become accessable to lower levels (Thanks Amaranthe). Both are fortunate since some thieves can't even get to Eryn Galen at lower levels.

Another thing that would seem to make sence is some sort of resist poison. I think it would be the ultimate embarrasment for a poison thief to die from a pre-poisoned weapon.
