PCP

What It Does
PCP, also called angel dust, ozone, wack and rocket fuel, is a white powder that is easily mixed with water or alcohol. It can be snorted, smoked, or eaten. The effects on the body are different depending on the amount of the dose. At low doses there may be a slight increase in breathing rate, rise in blood pressure and pulse rate, shallow respiration, numbness of extremities, and lack of coordination in muscles. A larger dose may cause the following: drop in blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiration, possibly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, flicking up and down of the eyes, drooling, loss of balance, and dizziness. High doses may also cause seizures, coma, death, hallucinations, and illusions. PCP often mimics the full range of symptoms of schizophrenia.
