Description
Phencyclidine (PCP) is a synthetic drug that was developed in the 1950s as an anesthetic. It is a dissociative drug, meaning it produces feelings of detachment from one's environment and self. It is also known as angel dust, ozone, wack, and rocket fuel.
PCP is a powerful hallucinogen and can cause a range of psychological and physical effects. These include confusion, agitation, paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations. It can also cause impaired coordination, slurred speech, and an inability to think clearly. In high doses, PCP can cause seizures, coma, and even death.
Brand names associated with PCP include Sernyl, Sernylan, PCE, and Phencyclidin.
PCP is a highly dangerous drug and can have serious long-term effects, including memory loss, depression, and anxiety. It is illegal in the United States and is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance.
