            Sorry be a stick in the mud, but I think the reservations were more about the implicit QAnon references than concern for Lizzy’s honour.

                Yes, a drug-addled writer mentioned it–as an intoxicant, not a magical life-extender--in a fictional novel. Not exactly a reputable source. He would be horrified that people have taken it literally and twisted it into such dangerous nonsense.

                All the Qanon thing is a rehashing of the old blood libel myth used to demonize Jews as baby killers that has incorporated another myth in adrenochrome to give it a veneer of plausibility for the easily duped. It is sad how susceptible so many people are to such a hamfisted psy-ops campaign.

                Think it, be it.

                  I’ve read HST. As a (former?) post punk fan you may be interested in this, if you haven’t heard it before:

                  Sort of funny that the guy who published this video has had to put in a note to distance the video from QAnon’ers.

                      Wasn't the adrenochrome part in F&LILV (in the movie with Johnny Depp) when Duke was wearing the lizard tail and wading around in knee deep water one of the hotel rooms the rented out? Wild stuff…I didn't read that book but I did think of the movie when I read @vaquero357 's comment.

                      I did read Thompson's Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs a couple of times and it was one of my favorite reads. The Rum Dairy was a great novel but the movie was not so good in my opinion. I also read a large chunk of Fear and Loathing in America which was pretty dry in some spots but rich in others.

                      Anyway, carry on…I miss reading I used to.

                            I think that's right @Oaktavia –the adrenochrome thing in F&L in LV was a IMO nothing but a great device to underscore the macabre side of many illicit mind-altering substances (or more precisely, the organizations behind manufacture and distribution of such) ... As John Perry Barlow put it "shipping powders back and forth. black goes south and white goes north." The shadow markets that prohibition creates (or at least exacerbates) make for a lot of human suffering and the rise of ruthless cartels unbeholden to regulators or law enforcement. The adrenochrome thing about it (falsely) having to be harvested from living humans took that darkness and amplified it even further. FWIW, adrenochrome is just oxidized adrenaline--you can create it in a lab. And it will get you high, but it is the opposite of a life-prolonging substance.

                            Despite the adrenochrome shit as far as Q's story is concern being clearly false, there are very real things going on with human trafficking and harvesting organs from sometimes living human beings. This Q bullshit introduces a bunch of confusion on what is actually going on and who is actually responsible for it. That makes it much harder to stop it, and much easier to make bad decisions on bad intel, and that's why it pisses me off.

                            If believing in obviously false and easily falsifiable fictions is a "great awakening," you can call me Rip van Winkle 😃

                            Think it, be it.

                                            The wind is still strong in Portsmouth. Today while cycling home I was hit hard by a gust of wind that knocked me off balance enough to have to bail and lay the bike down. The impact twisted the seat around, bent my pedal, and tore off bar tape. Got home and found road rash scrapes on hip, ankle, and elbow that were a little bloody. The whipcord on my N1 has a tiny scuff mark on the elbow that I could barely find, and my 21oz jeans look no different at all. Glad I had clothes on that can take a bit of a beating, might have been worse without them.
