idk wtf I did but I woke up 2 days ago with this pain in my shoulder right inside where the shoulder itself meets my chest and man it hurts. It's so bad in the morning I can't lift my arm over my head. But as the day goes on (and taking some nsaids) it lessens a bit.

What did I do to myself?

Does adrenochrome actually do anything? If I were to break open an EpiPen/Auviq and drink it, would it affect me?

afaik based on a trip report I remember hearing on the QAnonAnonymous podcast it's a mild euphoria so maybe?

That seems like weaker epinephrine in that case. I find it hilarious that a key component of the qanon mythos is a less potent form of a drug that your body produces and is easy to produce (I have no idea if this is true or not, I don't know how drugs get made)

As I understand it, it's not very euphoric. Think about how sick adrenaline dumps feel very soon after. I've been advised that if I ever need to administer epinephrine to myself that I will feel like absolute shit and likely vomit.

That said, there was a crew moving in the periphery of my social circles growing up that were straight up addicts/regular abusers of epinephrine (or rather that class of drugs/chems, I forget what it's called.) Me thinks they enjoyed Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas too much and took it too litereally.

and now that I think about it, a lot of drugs I enjoy also commonly come with regurgitation side effects. Hmmmm.

Anyway the shit definitely is not good for your longevity, QAnon myth: busted.
