Author Hunter S. Thompson writes about adrenochrome in his book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In this book, the drug comes from the adrenal gland of a living donor and is therefore considered foreign and intense. In the DVD commentary, director Terry Gilliam admits that his and Thompson's images are fictional.

"Adrenaline red," he said. "You don't need much. Just a little taste."

I picked up the bottle and dipped the tip of a match into it.

"Pretty much," he said. "This stuff makes pure Mescaline look like ginger beer. If you eat too much, you will go completely mad."

He nodded his head.

"Adrenaline in the living." I said. "It's no use taking it out of the body."

The third comment is about Monsters, Inc, which is crazy. QAnon's supporters argue that the more violently a child is murdered, the more adrenochrome is pumped out. It uses the same principles as Monsters Inc., where monsters propel their world with the screams of children. Meanwhile, the Hollywood elite maintain their youth and beauty on the adrenochrome generated by the violent murder of babies.

Let's start with the basics -- adrenochrome is a two-ring chemical with a little nitrogen and some double-bonded oxygen. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with chromium (or chrome) at all.

Adrenochrome is produced by the oxidation of adrenaline. Adrenochrome, also known as adrenaline, is a hormone produced by our bodies that triggers our "fight or flight" response.

When our body runs out of adrenaline, it breaks it down through peroxide. Adrenochrome pigments are intermediate molecules produced during the breakdown of epinephrine.

Scientists did some early work on adrenochrome pigments in the 1950s, hoping to learn whether it interacts with the human body. Some early evidence suggests that an excess of adrenochrome may be part of the mechanism that triggers episodes of schizophrenia, but this has not been fully established.
