I used to take Midazolam, brand name Versed, to sleep. And I've been sedated with it several times (the so called Versed Cocktail). Like all benzodiazepines, it's not particularly lethal on its own. Midazolam's use in end of life care to is calm people the fuck down while they're dying. It's merciful.

Didn't watch the video yet but I wanted to point out this seems misleading.

    The LD50 in the rat and the mouse is about 1600 mg/kg (oral administration) and 75 mg/kg (rat) and 50 mg/kg (mouse) on intravenous administration. Subchronic oral studies over 13 weeks in doses of 5, 15 and 45 mg/kg/day in the dog and 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day in the rat have demonstrated minimal toxicity for midazolam, as for other benzodiazepines.

    A 100kg male would take FIVE GRAMS intravenously to hit the LD50, assuming it's as low as rats which isn't a given. Orally it would be ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY GRAMS not that it's usually given in pill form. It's IV form comes in a max 5mg/ml strength. You'd need to pump IV bag after bag of midazolam into someone to hit those crazy amounts.

    Your lack of common sense and critical thinking skills is amazing

    It would have cost you nothing not to act like a bitch here.
