PCP (angel dust)
PCP, IT'S SYMPTOMS, EFFECTS AND ISSUESby john carceranoPhencyclidine is the medical name for the drug known as PCP or "angel dust". PCP is used as a recreational drug for its hallucinogenic effects. PCP was originally developed in the 1950's as an antistetic but it's side effects of halucinations and euphoria made it a drug worthless of medical use. PCP is most commonly snorted through the nose. It also can be taken orally or shot up with a needle. Heroin addicts will sometimes mix PCP with their heroin for a two fold effect. It is well absorbed by the body following all routes of administration concentrating fastest in the fatty tissues and the brain. Unchanged PCP is excreted in the urine in moderate amounts (10% of the dose). The terminal half-life for PCP varies considerably with a range of 10 to 60 hours depending on the amount used and the weight of the user.EFFECTSThe effects of PCP, as with all hallucinogens, are unpredictable and variable. Symptoms include euphoria, extreme relaxation, increased strength, time and space distortions, anxiety, panic, hallucination and extreme erratic behavior.Whack, Rocket fuel, Dust, PCP, these are the most common street names for this wicked drug. PCP is not an addictable drug. It is mostly used as a recreational "escape from total reality" drug. Each use is always a different and unpredictable effect. Often times their is an anxious paranoia associated with use. At times their will be a more potent mix of the drug than at other times. I personally used PCP twice monthly for about a year and a half from the ages of 18 to almost 20. I found that I was able to build a up a tolerance to PCP. PCP is a drug that is mostly used by those who are not being very responsible with their normal day to day responsibilities. When I used the drug I was also able to observe other people around me who also took PCP. I noticed that those who rarely took PCP would get more paranoid with their existence. Most would get all depressed about their life and really seem on the brink of self destruction or even talk of suicide and dying. This was not a drug to take lightly. I witnessed others who would take one third the amount that I would take, and yet they would often times "freak out" from the effects. At times it would take assistance by me or someone else to help prevent another user from getting too paranoid and despondent because of their PCP use. I did experience some good distorted realities on the drug too. It's not all paranoia. But each PCP use was always an unpredictable time. I ate it a few times and I got just as high as if I would have snorted it. I also experienced highs on the drug that were very mellow and subdued. I had several times where PCP would just relax me so much that I would sit in a chair and be unable to move for 1 or two hours. All I could do would be to observe those in the room with me, I couldn't even talk at times. I also remember taking too snorting too much one evening of some veryy potent PCP. I thought I was going to have to call an ambulence for myself. To try to shake off the drugs effects I went outside for a long brisk walk. Walking was difficult because my legs were going numb, and I felt like i was three inches tall. It was scary and bizzare. I always knew the potency of the drug by it's smell. When I would score(buy) a more potent batch, as soon as I would open the wrapper a strong smell would fill my car. When that happened I was happy, I knew it was gonna be good. I was always told that PCP is sometimes cut with heroin or even Drano. I personally had a few times when I was sure my PCP was cut with something poisonous because I would have a very anxious and sick time from the drug, it would not be the normal feel, and it would take me days to feel well again.If you know that a loved one is taking this drug, you should be concerned for their safety. Anyone who uses this drug with some regularity should be getting immediate counseling and support to assist them through their troubling life issues.
