A psychiatrist was struck by the close similarity, in chemical composition between mescalin and adrenalin. Further research revealed that lyseric acid, an extremely potent hallucinogen derived from ergot, has a structural biochemical relationship with others. Then came the discovery that adrenochrome, which is a byproduct of the decomposition of adrenalin, can produce many of the symptoms observed in mescalin intoxication.In other words each one us may be capable of manufacturing a chemical, minute doses of which are known to cause profound changes in consciousness. It raises all colours to a higher and makes the percipient aware of innumerable fine shades of difference, to which, at ordinary times, he is completely blind. It would seem that the secondary characteristic of things are primary.

Good post

If only we could bottle it

Interesting stuff

hunter thompson tripped on adrenochrome that was bottled.

the doors of perception

that explains why tripping after a jump can be so intense.

alledgedly.

I was taking night classes a few years ago and one of the students was this old hippie type. During breaks all he could talk about were drugs.

He said his wife who was a nurse got him bottled adrenalin and he would shoot himself up with that.

I still prefer getting it the old fashioned way though. I do believe it changes one somehow though and I have to watch myself around my family because I get very edgy after having jumped sometimes. It is a very powerful substance and it has to have some sort of effect.

That sounds like quite an addictive substance

I wonder if that diminishes the feeling of his natural adrenalin when he's in a messy situation?
