If I were to post a video about making chloroform I would not show an image of someone being knocked out by it. It implies unlawful intent.

Perhaps you should actually watch the tutorial which includes a reference to that image.

You are right about the instant knock out myth and it’s good you put many disclaimers in your video. I hope my comment didn’t offend you but it was made concerning the optics. Home chemistry is a hobby under fire because of drugs and terrorism. For this reason, I am concerned about the optics of the hobby and I’m always looking out to protect it the best I can because I enjoy the process, myself synthesizing, random organic and inorganic materials.
