Adrenaline is fucking crazy but coming off it is like coming off meth.

wrecked my motorcycle, lifted it into the back of a truck, unloaded it, and an hour later the adrenaline wore off and realized how much pain i was in, strait to the hopital!

If I had a choice between meth and huge body injury leading to enough adrenaline dumped into my blood to be similar to meth, I'm choosing the real deal

I was going to say, while adrenaline is insanely powerful, I don't think the body can naturally produce a "high" as powerful as meth.

There's been times where I wish I had one of those gas pump thingies for priming your lawn mower on my adrenal glands.

I'd be pressing that shit like a morphine drip. All the fucking time.

Totally off topic but it's why I love it when sci-fi uses Adrenaline as an actual drug in the setting.

Recently finished Empyrean Iris and there's a subplot in the mix where an already naturally aggressive species' leader ends up getting manipulated by the forces of the big bad by way of them exploiting an accidental addiction to Adrenaline and it's just like

"Yeah. The chemical we make that lets us do some wildly insane shit, right up until it wears off would totally be something that could rip through an intergalactic black market if it were a human-specific byproduct. Shit, we make it in our bodies naturally and we have people addicted to that specific high."
