This post is for the doubters that this substance is used to get “high” or can actually be extracted and consumed by a human.
https://erowid.org/chemicals/adrenochrome/adrenochrome_info1.shtml
Entry in Adam Gottlieb's Legal Highs (1973):
ADRENOCHROME SEMICARBAZONE -- 3-hydroxy-1-methyl-5,6-indolinedione semicarbazone.
Material: Oxidized epinephrine (adrenaline) with semicarbazide.
Usage: 100 mg is thoroughly dissolved in just enough alcohol, melted fat (butter), or vegetable oil and ingested. Because of its poor solubility in water these must be used to aid absorption.
Effects: Physical stimulating, feeling of well-being, slight reduction of thought processes.
Contraindications: None noted.
Acts as a systemic hemostatic preventing capillary bleeding during injury. Adrenochrome causes chemically induced schizophrenia. Its semicarbazone does not.
Supplier: CS.
Emphasis mine.
More from the same link proving that the body produces more adrenochrome when it is either under stress or cannot properly breakdown into by-products. Also, the substance is also considered a hallucinogen which is a commonly sought after “high”.
In Diet & Neurotoxins, by Gabriel Cousens, MD (2000):
Connection To Schizophrenia
For example, two of these metabolic neurotoxins--adrenolutin and adrenochrome--breakdown products from the body's own epinephrine. Both are associated with biochemically based schizophrenia. Adrenochrome is a hallucinogen which also inhibits nerve cell transmission. If the body is making an excess of adrenochrome, from either stress or a poor biochemical ability to break it down into harmless by-products, we have the potential for brain dysfunction. A slowly emerging awareness from the scientific literature suggests there are a number of brain disturbances that are related to the accumulation of various neurotoxins in the brain.
Again, emphasis mine.
Note that the last quotes section is from a study in the year 2000.
This relates to Pizzagate because adrenochrome is allegedly extracted from victims of abuse. This link and studies prove that the substance can be used to become “high” and is also created more abundantly when the subject is under stress.

I don't think your posts give any evidence about its extraction. Adrenochrome can be made it a test tube by oxidizing adrenaline. You can just mix it with something like silver oxide. It's also widely available in the medical research market. Here's one of the places that sell it http://www.chemical-pharma.com/pharma-material/Adrenochrome.html
Adrenaline was synthesized in a lab well over a 100 years ago. It's a myth you need to extract it from the human body and it would be very difficult to do. It breaks down very quickly when exposed to moisture or heat or light. If you have a solution of it and you have it in the freezer, it lasts about half a day.
ADRENOCHROME SEMICARBAZONE is a derivative of Adrenochrome. it's different from pure adrenochrome. Semicarbazone has a specific meaning in chemstiry. This substance is also known as Carbazochrome.
Carbazachrome is an anti-hemorrhage agent. It's used in research right now and may in the future be used in humans.
On the same site you link to other folks detail their experiences with it and it's not really a good high. There are much more widely available drugs you use and get a better experience from. Mescalin, LSD, Peyote, etc all come to mind.
I believe the connection to schizophrenia is no longer believed to be true.

You're an ass kicking shill. But, don't you think it is odd that you know so much about the subject? Like knowing that skippy was a common nickname in the 70's. A trivia expert you are.

“trivia expert”
I have been pondering this as well. There is something incongruent about these comments, yet they all conform to a standard.

Do tell.

Who is the more interesting character; Sherlock or Moriarty? Personally, I identify more with Mycroft (from the old series with Brett, not the Kareem Abdul Jabbar stuff).

more an opinion than a trivia question and I have to say I'm only up on the recent reboot of Sherlock, never read the originals. Thought just last month of listening to the audiobook of one.

The cumberbatch stuff is good. I’m not into the other one with Lucy Liu.
As to the trivia, it’s partly due to the miracle of the tech that puts all human knowledge at our fingertips. However, your comments seem to go past what one would expect with recently google searched knowledge. Also, the snarky manner in which you regularly debunk the weaker arguments attracts a response. From what I’ve read, you are likely an extreme skeptic. I am not prepared to consider you a shill or a troll. I seem to remember that I have even read a couple things from you that one would call ‘contributions’. I’m not sure if you’re part of the team or not, frankly. I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt, though, knowing I am equally open to being judged. Your space to speak is equal to anyone else and subjec5 to the same rubrics. The fact that you have not been repeatedly been down voted to oblivion speaks to the fine tuning of your writing and to the discernment of the general voater. Don’t be too hard on us. We are trying to do what we think is right.
However, we ARE opposed. I truly believe we have powerful enemies, and that we are exposing real depravity. I’m open to hear and adjust the errors found here, and there is a need to eschew the elements that don’t comport with the justice we seek... there is a fine line on the approach to that task. Not many are up to it. Not many are mature enough to look so closely and own our errors. The obvious shills and trolls don’t get close enough to cross it.
