these people have created a diy lab reactor you can synthesise medicines with, but I can’t find how to make it anywhere. can anyone find out, or share from their own knowledge?

EDIT: this is a lab reactor for organic chemistry, not a bioreactor with bacteria

Well if the pharmacy refuses to sell you a decongestant or is closed, you can make your own

Honestly, Chinese ephedra has pseudoephedrine in it, as w well as ephedrine which can function more effectively as a bronchodilator. Just don't take it if you're taking NDRI antidepressants.
