Phencyclidine and Related Drugs

In the 1950s, phencyclidine (PCP) was investigated
as an anesthetic but, due to the side effects of
confusion and delirium, its development for human
use was discontinued. It became commercially
available for use as a veterinary anesthetic in the
1960s under the trade name of Sernylan® and was
placed in Schedule III of the CSA. In 1978, due to
considerable abuse, phencyclidine was transferred to
Schedule II of the CSA and manufacturing of
Sernylan® was discontinued. Today, virtually all of
the phencyclidine encountered on the illicit market in
the United States is produced in clandestine
laboratories.

PCP is illicitly marketed under a number of other
names, including Angel Dust, Supergrass, Killer Weed,
Embalming Fluid, and Rocket Fuel, reflecting the range
of its bizarre and volatile effects. In its pure form, it is
a white crystalline powder that readily dissolves in
water. However, most PCP on the illicit market
contains a number of contaminants as a result of
makeshift manufacturing, causing the color to range
from tan to brown, and the consistency from powder
to a gummy mass. Although sold in tablets and
capsules as well as in powder and liquid form, it is
commonly applied to a leafy material, such as parsley,
mint, oregano, or marijuana, and smoked.
