PCP

 

PCP stands for Phencyclidine and usually called "angel dust." It is a drug that was developed as a surgical anaesthetic in the late 1950s but because of its unusual and unpleasant side effects its use as a medical drug has been restricted. “Angel dust” is found in pill and crystal forms.

 

What does it do to you?

 

Effects of the drug vary according to the dosage level. Low doses may provide hallucinations, euphoria and numbness. Increased doses produce a state of confussion, intoxication, which may include muscle rigidity, loss of concentration and memory, visual disturbances, delirium, feelings of isolation, convulsions, speech impairment, violent behavior, fear of death, and changes in the user's perception of their body.
