It's not. pineeal glands produce melatonin, the hormone that controls sleep.

The pineal gland is significant to occultists because it is the only part of the brain that is singular. You only have one. Every other part is part of a mirrored bilateral set. Thus they speculate that this is the seat of the soul.

It is a common blackhat technique to throw us off whenever we get close to something is by injecting a little bit of disinformation. The best lie is one that is as close to the truth as possible. The factoid about adreanochrome being injected by eating brain bits is some of that. It wouldn't surprise me if they do eat this gland as some sort of ritual to absorb the soul of some poor person. And I suspect that consume the blood of their victims after causing them to die during a massive adrenaline surge, which then oxidizes and has a narcotic effect. But connecting the two concepts makes no sense biologically.

Adrenochrome itself doesn't have any narcotic effect. There was some research done in the '50s and '60s. But it since been determined to have practically no effect. However, there are various neurotransmitters and hallucinogens that are only a couple functional groups away from adrenaline and adrenochrome. It's possible that additional chemical reactions are added to convert one one these bulk-produced stress hormones into something else. This might happen naturally. Or it could be a post-extraction process. The stereotype about witches/warlocks/etc brewing up potions has to come from somewhere.

I once read something about cultures in southeast asia that raise dogs for food sometimes torturing the poor animals before slaughter because they think it makes the meat taste better. This is very close to what it is hinted at that these satanists do to humans. I've tried looking into it for clues as to what happens biochemically in that situation. But, understandably, there hasn't been much scientific research done in this area.
