In fact on our server the 'Use Poison' feat is the key to use poisons in combat. We feel that not everyone and their mothers should be able to use poison on weapons and as announced here the ability to apply poison to weapons has been restricted to those with the Use Poison feat - Assassins and Blackguards. In a setting without internet and publicly available advanced education the secrets of using poisons effectively are well guarded and only the trained in those secrets can use them. Still, you can poison the food and drink of your victim, no training needed for that.
