Synthetic Adrenochrome was likely a product of CIA/intelligence. Used for controlling addicted people in power and celebrities. Epstein/Ghislane were used as a conduit for sex trafficking as well as the Adrenochrome use. In some cases Adrenochrome could have been used to evoke wild compulsive behaviors to trap celebrities/people in power, so their behaviors could be recorded and so they could be blackmailed. Look at Robert Maxwell's life and death for clues.

An enormous body of data was gathered and published detailing the chemistry of adrenochrome, its synthesis, metabolism, conversion to other products and its reactions with substances like ascorbic acid. Adrenochrome is a member of a class of chemicals known as aminochromes. We also published a large series of clinical studies showing adrenochrome and andrenolutin were hallucinogens. These studies are described in our book, The Hallucinogens (Hoffer, Osmond, 1967).
Hoffer (1981) concluded, “The adreno-chrome hypothesis accounts for the syndrome of schizophrenia more accurately than do any of the competing hypotheses. The two main hypotheses are superfluous since they are accommodated by the adrenochrome or, more accurately, the amino-chrome hypothesis."
i.e. schizophrenia arose in an individual when too much adrenochrome was formed, that adrenochrome then interfered with brain function as would LSD, and that created the essential stage for the formation of schizophrenia.
We find this hypothesis very interesting for it is exactly what we have been proposing since we first publicly discussed our adrenochrome hypothesis in 1952 before the Dementia Praecox Committee of the Scottish Rites Masons in New York.
