Adrenochrome

3-hydroxy-1-methyl-5,6-in doline-dione

adrenochrome is an oxidation product of adrenaline (ephinephrine, norepinephrine). the effects and cl-ssification of this drug is said to be controversial because it is debated whether is has any psychoactive or hallucinogenic effects, although some test subjects compared the adrenochrome experience to mild psilocybin and lsd experiences. psychoactive effects of adrenochrome may include euphoria, confusion, a change in train of thought, lack of judgment, poor insight and inability to concentrate.
author hunter s. thompson mentions adrenochrome in his book fear and loathing in las vegas. in the book the drug comes from a living donor’s adrenal gland and therefore it is deemed exotic and intense. in the dvd commentary, director terry gilliam admits that his and thompson’s portrayal is fictional.

“adrenochrome,” he said. “you won’t need much. just a tiny taste.”
i got the bottle and dipped the head of a paper match into it.
“that’s about right,” he said. “that stuff makes pure mescaline seem like ginger beer. you’ll go completely crazy if u take too much.”
…..
“jesus! what kind of monster client have you picked up this time? there’s only one source for this stuff….”
he nodded.
“the adrenaline glands from a living human body,” i said. “it’s no good if you get it out of a corpse.”

adrenochrome

the most powerful drug ever created.
contrary to popular belief adrenochrome is not fictional. it is very real indeed.
literally meaning blood stopping.
otep’s song, “adrenochrome dreams”.
adrenochrome or andrenichrome is a made up drug by hunter s thompson used in the movie fear and loathing in las vegas.

near end of this film, duke takes too much “andrenichrome” and has a nasty experience. andrenichrome was a substance that hunter s. thompson made up for the book when he originally wrote it, and was kept in the script by terry gilliam. after showing a rough cut of the film to a test audience, gilliam was approached by a group of young men, one of which complimented him on the film in general, but said that his favorite scene was the andrenichrome scene. he said that he had used the drug and that gilliam had captured the effects perfectly. gilliam didn’t have the heart to tell the kid that it was made up, and went along with his story.
during the scene in which duke is tripping on adrenochrome, he mutters “el llama es un quadrupedo.” this is a quote from a sketch in monty python’s flying circus.
