Hunter Thompson is (was) a journalist with a flair for, shall we say exaggeration in the process of getting the point of a story across. Humphry Osmond was a psychiatrist who was a leading researcher into psychedelic drugs and their theraputic applications from the 50's onwards.
If you want an accurate description of the central effects of adrenochrome (or adrenolutin), find a copy of the book Osmond co-authored - 'The Hallucinogens'. If you want a good story with little to no clinical pharmacology, look to HST.
Adrenochrome semicarbazone has a clinical use for stopping bleeding from capillary beds; it is NOTHING like the description in 'Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas'.
If no-one has anything more that's relevant to it's central actions, I'm going to close this thread.
The clock is ticking...
Oh and BTW
Look at the dates on the other posts. He WAS a journalist working for ESPN at the time the posts were written.
For fuck's sake. I swear that the number of people putting their opinion in gear without ever engaging their brain on here is getting worse all the time.
