PCP
PCP
PCP (phencyclidine) is a dissociative anesthetic that was originally developed for medical use but is now widely abused due to its intense and unpredictable effects. The drug induces a trance-like state, often causing users to feel disconnected from themselves and their surroundings—commonly described as an “out-of-body” experience. PCP is frequently referred to by street names such as angel dust, dippers, mint leaf’s, hog, and killer grass. It can be consumed by smoking, snorting, injecting, or swallowing.
