It all starts with Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception, which was the first mention of Adrenochrome to reach the public. Published in 1954 and influenced by Dr. Humphry Osmond.

Humphry Osmond was one of the main adrenochrome researchers funded by the Scottish Rite.

Aldous Huxley is the epicenter of where movies, music and TV will eventually all get their first inspirations of adrenochrome. Another drug mentioned alongside adrenochrome in Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception, was LSD-25. LSD was promoted by Cary Grint as early as 1958 throughout Hollywood.

In 1959, "The Tingler" with Vincent Price is released, a horror movie that implies injecting LSD-25 can induce such an overwhelming amount of fear, a literal monster (pictured below) will manifest in the person's body.

Here we have perhaps the earliest Hollywood movie with this specific theme of fear-based psychedelics.

Also in 1959, a disclosure from William Burroughs in his book, The Naked Lunch.

It's about a fictional Dr. Benway, who uses bulbocapnine to induce a coma-like obedience into victims which he would go on to torture, using a variety of drugs to induce schizophrenia (at the time, adrenochrome was considered a source of schizophrenia by researchers).

Dr. Benway was based on Dr. Robert Galbraith Heath, a psychiatrist at Tulane University, in which he experimented on mostly African American prisoners at Louisiana State Penitentiary via the CIA's MK-ULTRA program. ... (continues)

Back in the early 90s I would occasionally hang out at a club in NYC called The Naked Lunch. I knew the reference but if someone asked about the name I'd just tell them to go to the library and borrow the book.

It's been so long since I read it, I only remember that it was pretty disturbing. I don't even have it anymore.

Edit: There's one more thing I do remember. I gave it to a friend and he later asked me if I was ok. I said, "Sure, why do you ask?" and he said it was because of what I was reading.

Looking back, I don't think I actually was ok.

Seems like Hunter S Thompson only "popularized" it when he wrote Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Thanks for this one, I didn't know it went that far back.

I'd like to download this as a PDF but it seems I need to make an account with something? What kind of bullshit is this?

Would you please post the PDF so we can all archive this information?

I don't have an account but I printed a PDF from the browser. It came out adequate enough, I think. Hope it helps. https://files.catbox.moe/dpndr3.pdf
