Seems most people I tried to ask about this in-game have little or no information around this.
I know two things for certain;
To manufacture drugs, I need a BPC and a Drug Lab.
The questions though:
1) Where can I get these BPC's (other than contracts)?
2) Can a Drug Lab be installed in a hi-sec POS?
3) Where do I get the materials needed for the BPC (common minerals, such as megacyte, aside)? Someone mentioned gas mining? Where can I find this gas?
Hope any of you know more about this than the corp mates, friends and random people I've been asking in-game.

1) I believe they are dropped from 0.0 rats or come from 0.0 missions. I'm not sure on that one.
2) Only in 0.3 systems and lower.
3) Either from market, or yes, you can use Gas Harvesters. The gas is found in LADAR sites, those are found by using a Core Probe Launcher.
Everything you need to know is here
 Quote:
Manufacturing boosters is set into a few phases. Phase 1 is extracting the material from the gas cloud. Phase 2 is using a starbase with the appropriate structure to process the chemicals and create reactions. Phase 3 is using a station that allows booster manufacturing, stations known as Outposts would work, to process the reaction and create the booster. This will result in the creation of a fairly common booster. With additional work, and the right blueprint and combination of low quality boosters, one can create higher quality versions in the Outpost or starbase laboratory.

I remember when I first started looking into Drug Manufacture a few of years ago, back then there wasn't the wiki explaining how to do it and the people who had worked out how to do it kept it a very closely guarded secret and there were drug cartels (I'm not joking).
Anyway, to make it profitable don't buy the gas off the market you need to get it yourself. It comes from Ladar sites, (nice thing about these in lowsec/0.0 is most people looking to do plex's ignore them completely so you can be relatively safe in them. If I remember rightly a Hurricane is good for doing them cos you need turret slots to fit them and lows to expand the cargo (BS would work as well, though to be honest its been a long time since I've done it and I can't remember what I used, and cant remember if you need to be able to tank anything). You can fit a maximum of 6 (with Gas Cloud Harvesting 5, which is a must btw). Can't remember exactly where the BPC's come from but my guess would be from certain plex's in lowsec and 0.0, which ones I have no idea though, maybe the hacking/archaeology ones!?
Anyway, good luck.

To get started with low-sec drug manufacturing.
1) Serpentis Medium POS and Structures (low-sec/null-sec)
1xDrug Lab
2xBiochemical Silo (Gas Cloud)
2xHazardous Chemical Silo (Reaction Output)
2xGeneral Storage (garbage for reaction)
2xReactors
2) Get BPC's from Null-sec agents or buy them off the mission runners
3) Get Reaction from contracts or hacking sites
4) Courier or transport the gas to your home system
5) Courier or transport the POS fuel to your home system
6) Set up the reaction process
7) Unload the pure drug and put it into your druglab
8) Manufacture drug(s)
9) Sell the drug(s)
I'm getting out of the game, if you like I can sell you the entire setup for 1.5B.

As one of the above posts mentioned, there are Drug 'Cartels' which specialise in the manufacture of boosters.
'Es and Whizz' are probably the longest standing manufacturer/smuggler of narcotics that I know of. Doubt they will give much info up unless your part of their corporation though.
Good luck anyway, always nice to see more chemists out there bringing the people what they want!

Hasn't Es and Whizz mostly joined up with Rooks and Kings? Are they even that active anymore now that booster prices have crashed?

It doesnt work like that, the gas has a certain market value and only the market value determines whether or not booster production is profitable. If you "get it yourself" to make it profitable, it just means you're undervaluating your resources.

I have been dabbling in synth booster production for some years now handling everything on my own. Not because of profit, but because I can.
Feel free to contact me ingame and I will happily answer any questions you might have.
