Well, the substance itself is certainly real:
Early research

So, as we have learned with everything else, someone out there with no ethics whatsoever, may have experimented with it further, after learning the effects.

Considering how many evil people are out there?

I would guess yes, it is being harvested in horrible ways.
And personally, I believe the people doing it, should be put down like rabid dogs.

Im a bit skeptical of the substance when I read that article. First of all I think its no coincidence this book came out just 4 years before Fear and Loathing released, which doesnt just mention Adrenochrome, but also Mescaline if I remember correct. Seems like Hunter Thompson got some inspiration from this book, or just a big coincidence.

"As a part of his research, Abram Hoffer reviewed a list of hallucinogenic compounds including mescaline, peyote and ibogaine. His book, The Hallucinogens, published in 1967, makes fascinating reading for anyone who wants to know what sorts of compounds can cause people to hallucinate, become delusional, psychotic, depressed and/or anxious."

Secondly Hoffer tested Adrenochrome himself and found that it causes psychosis and depresion in very small doses. Would that really be the high someone would actively seek or get addicted to? Doubtful, but maybe used/obtained differently it could have a different effect.

Thirdly how did he obtain it, if there is a way to obtain it without killing someone then why would anyone do that other then for somekind of ritual?

Im skeptical the Adrenochrome is the reason behind child trafficing/torture, I think it kind of distracts from the fact there are people torturing and sexual abusing people for sport.

For sport makes less sense than for a belief system. Just saying, for sport is LESS believable to me than magick. There are hundreds of thousands of satantic ritual sex abuse cases; in which case, the motivation here is satan will keep you young if you do evil things....

People do terrible things for what they believe, and people will do anything to live forever. It makes less sense that Satanic ritual sex abuse magick stories would be misinformation created by those that do it?

Like you not hearing what you sound like? People do things for sport, but they usually don't risk riches and entire livelyhoods for sport. For eternal life -- that might be worth risking a fortune of billions.

If that's the case through then you have to wonder why the likes of Steve Jobs did not get a hold of the stuff to solve his medical dilemmas.

As to what people would be willing to risk for eternal life, my guess would be everything.

But the fact of the matter is that chemistry and biology have proved what Adrenochrome is and does, none of which has anything to do with prolonging longevity.
