see    heres only one source for this stuff, the adrenalin glands from a living human body. that bit of misinformation found in hunter. s thompsons 1971 psychedelic classic, fear and loathing in las vegas, likely planted the seed that grew into one of the most outlandish and repugnant of all conspiracy theories. that would be the ludicrous qanon claim that hollywood celebrities and liberal elite politicians are kidnapping children to harvest their blood. qanon is a not-so-fringe, baseless theory that a government agent, q, is a source of continuous information about deep state secrets such as the existence of a global cabal of pedophiles who thirst for the blood of children. why? the farcical qanon rationale is that they are using the blood as a source of adrenochrome, a chemical that supposedly has psychedelic properties and also holds the promise of immortality.  how did thompson come to involve adrenochrome in his story in the first place, describing it as making pure mescaline seem like ginger beer? somewhere along the line he likely came across the work of canadian psychiatrists abram hoffer and humphry osmond who in the 1950s had noted a similarity between the symptoms of schizophrenia and the effects of mescaline, a naturally occurring hallucinogen found in the peyote cactus.    seudoscience/qanons-adrenochrome-qu ackery
