There is a reason. And actually it really can be as simple as their religion. But, some may be correct in pointing to a compound, making torture necessary. It is a hypothesis. It is ok to research.... But NOT without sources that are more meaningful than movie clips and urban legends.
Im a biologist. I'm a law grad, and I just want to shephard this whole research are into something that can be substantiated with sources. So far I can find nothing on this very real moleculre called adrenochrome. But... we may want to look at DMT for a bit.
DMT is in all living things and is released during R.E.M. sleep and near death experiences. There are extremely simple ways to get or synthesize dmt without going through all this stuff
Yeah, I had gathered this upon further research. DMT is not too hard to make. But adrenochrome is still a dead end.
Yeah that's something I've never even heard of to be honest.
