PCP, also known as phencyclidine and angel dust, was originally developed as a general anesthetic but became a popular substance in the 1960s. It’s listed as a Schedule II drug in the United States, which makes it illegal to possess.
Like wide-leg jeans, PCP’s popularity comes and goes. It’s become a common club drug in the last couple of decades and produces effects similar to other dissociative substances, like special K.
To get an idea of how powerful it is, just look at the other slang terms for it:
elephant tranquilizer horse tranquilizer embalming fluid rocket fuel DOA (dead on arrival) lethal weapon Healthline does not endorse the use of any illegal substances, and we recognize abstaining from them is always the safest approach. However, we believe in providing accessible and accurate information to reduce the harm that can occur when using.
How is it used?
PCP can be ingested orally, snorted, smoked, or injected, depending on its form. It can be found in tablets and capsules. Most of the time, it’s sold in its original form: a white crystalline powder.
Most people smoke it by sprinkling it on cannabis, tobacco, or plant leaves like mint or parsley. People also dissolve it in a liquid and dip cigarettes or joints in the solution.
What does it feel like?
It really depends on the dose.
PCP causes psychological and physical effects that can be unpredictable, especially in larger doses.
At a lower dose, PCP makes you feel euphoric, floaty, and disconnected from your body and surroundings. As you increase the dose, the effects get more intense, leading to hallucinations and erratic behavior.
Psychological effects of PCP can include:
euphoria relaxation drowsiness dissociation feeling weightless or floaty feeling disconnected from your body or surroundings distorted sense of time and space trouble concentrating hallucinations agitation anxiety and panic paranoia confusion disorientation delusions suicidal thoughts Physical effects of PCP can include:
blurred vision dizziness difficulty speaking impaired motor skills decreased sensitivity to pain muscle rigidity irregular heart rate slow, shallow breathing changes in blood pressure increases body temperature numbness drooling shivering and chills nausea and vomiting rapid involuntary eye movements convulsions loss of consciousness coma
Rodney King was big fan of PCP.
Kig tested negative for PCP after that incident.His problems aside, I have to say I appreciate Rodney King. He didn’t advocate for violence or hatred towards the police, he said, “Can’t we al get along.” His daughter promotes that message and works to promote accord with the police to this day.
What is this? 1978? Sheesh.
Elephant juice is M-99/ etorphine, a Class 1 drug.
PCP more aptly called Angel Dust. Not used in horses for anything; would likely make a horse run through a wall.

It was heroin, not angel dust!
I’d like ecstasy to be legal in nursing homes. Why not?
It will give you strength and no fear. Dangerous stuff…
My EMS experience shows at least anecdotally that pcp is enjoyed exclusively by muscle-bound urban males. It starts out with police and ems forming a wide circle around the “patient”. After that all bets are off (including tasers) but usually no one is hurt and the objective ends up on the cot in 4 points. Just getting covered in sweat is a best case scenario.
Good old Frank Oz.
Rocket Fuel?
That’s what we called our homebrew apple wine due to the extremely high alcohol content. That stuff would sneak right up on you and kick your butt all the way down the street.
Nobody wants to buy your drugs here, Louie, Why don’t you just go away.
” He didn’t advocate for violence or hatred towards the police, “
Perhaps you never saw the video that I only saw once, on NBC, the morning after the cops were acquitted, of the minutes before the clip that was shown a million times, in which he was pounding off about 8 cops, with a superhuman strength that sure as hell looked like PCP rage to me (and I’ve seen it in inpatient psych wards enough to know what it’s like—absolute hell.) The man was going to hurt a lot of people very badly if he wasn’t subdued, and it was going to take a hell of a lot to do it.
Wide leg jeans? Not what we called them. Idiot.
I suspect pcp is part of what they pump Xiden’s rotting corpse up with every weekend.
Trump speculated it was Adderall.
PCP is BAD stuff...
That drug helped Rodney King win a lot of money in a lawsuit. Can’t we all just get along?
