After a break, the creators receive a package from a cousin containing old diazepam tablets. They explain that diazepam is a benzodiazepine that increases GABA in the brain, producing tranquilizing effects but with risks of tolerance, withdrawal, and potentially severe outcomes if misused. They crush the tablets and attempt a crude extraction to isolate the active compound, ending up with a crystalline solid that appears to be diazepam with some impurities. They discuss the dangerous nature of even small amounts. They test the product with Frode's reagent to see if it would show up on standard drug tests; the reagent behaves with other substances but shows no color change for the diazepam sample. With little further chemical use, they decide to dispose of the remainder safely and sign off, noting editing will resume in a few weeks.
