asked:
When the narrator takes "adrenochrome" are we supposed to assume it is real adrenochrome or does he merely believe it is? (This matters because I'm trying to figure out whether all the details that diverge from reality represent the narrator tripping or if some are how the author sees the world)

Of course not! I suggest you read up on the origins and meaning(s) of gonzo when it applies to journalism. Also Tom Wolfe, a contemporary of Hunter Thompson who wrote and described the nature of the New Journalism. Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool Aid Acid Test is also a good book to explore the myths and reality of drugs and how they relate to a unique genre of writing.
