PCP
(phencyclidine) is classified as a hallucinogen
and has many of the same effects as LSD, but can
be much more dangerous. In the 1950's, PCP was
investigated as an anesthetic, but due to its
severe side effects, its development for human
use was discontinued. PCP is known for inducing
violent behavior and for inducing negative
physical reactions such as seizures, coma, death.
There is no way to predict who will have a bad
reaction to the drug. Maybe this is because PCP
has so many faces--it acts as a hallucinogen,
stimulant, depressant, and anesthetic---all at
the same time.
In its original state, PCP is a white crystalline
powder. PCP is available in tablet, liquid, and
powder forms and is either ingested orally or
smoked by applying the liquid form to tobacco
or marijuana cigarettes or by lacing these and
other cigarettes, sometimes containing herbs such
as mint or parsley, with PCP powder.
