I know that when we're faced with imminent danger adrenaline is recruited from the adrenal gland. Its a "fight or flight" hormone we use when danger threatens us. And I was just wondering can anyone access adrenaline at will, I don't quite remember but I think someone said that it's very rare that someone can access adrenaline at will but some have.

No, adrenaline cannot be accessed at will. Adrenaline is a hormone, so that should answer your question there.

However there are supplements for instance that affect epinephrin(which is basically the same thing).
