What are the effects of recreational PCP use? For smoking, PCP is typically sprayed onto leafy material such as mint, parsley, oregano, or marijuana. The liquid form of PCP is actually PCP base often dissolved in ether, a highly flammable solvent. Smoking is the most common route when used recreationally. PCP is available in a variety of tablets, capsules, and colored powders, which are either smoked, taken orally or by the intranasal route ("snorted"). Pharmacologically, PCP is a noncompetitive NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist and glutamate receptor antagonist, but also interacts with other receptor sites, and may have effects with dopamine, opioid and nicotinic receptors. On the illicit drug market, PCP contains a number of contaminants causing the color to range from a light to darker brown with a powdery to a gummy mass consistency. In its purest form, PCP is a white crystalline powder that readily dissolves in water or alcohol and has a distinctive bitter chemical taste. Ketamine ( Ketalar), an anesthetic used for surgery and painful procedures was developed instead and is structurally similar to PCP. PCP was developed in the 1950s as an intravenous anesthetic, but due to the serious neurotoxic side effects, its development for human medical use was discontinued. It is considered a dissociative drug, leading to a distortion of sights, colors, sounds, self, and one's environment. Phencyclidine (PCP) is a mind-altering drug that may lead to hallucinations (a profound distortion in a person’s perception of reality). Supergrass, superweed, whacko tobacco, and killer joints refer to PCP combined with marijuana.

Repeated exposure to embalming fluid can also lead to the development of cancer. Long-term problems associated with smoking cigarettes or joints soaked in embalming fluid or PCP include upper respiratory system inflammation, bronchitis, pneumonia, partial or complete respiratory failure, disrupted growth and development in teenagers, muscle tissue loss, heart attack, brain damage, deterioration of your spinal cord and the non-responsive form of unconsciousness known as a coma. The long list of potential problems includes unpleasant or terrifying hallucinations, paranoid or delusional thinking, angry outbursts, aggressive or violent behavior, depression, vomiting, vision problems, loss of normal body balance, reduced memory function and unconsciousness. Use of a wet joint or cigarette can damage your short-term health in a number of ways.
In addition, only the manufacturer of one of these drugs knows its true content. It’s worth noting that some users smoke a dipped joint or cigarette without having any idea what they’re consuming. In addition, a cigarette or joint dipped in embalming fluid burns at an unusually slow rate and provides users with a prolonged drug experience. This effect combines with the already-potent chemical impact of nicotine and marijuana/THC. Wet drugs have gained popularity because both PCP and embalming fluid have a mind-altering, hallucinogenic effect when burned and inhaled. Use seems to be centered among young adults and teenagers. Additional terms for the same illicit product include Illy, Fry, Wet-Wet and Purple Rain (a PCP reference). Some sources believe that this fact eventually led to the actual use of embalming fluid as a PCP substitute in the manufacturing process. During that time, PCP had gained the street name “embalming fluid” among parts of the drug-using and selling community. Researchers trace the origins of the wet phenomenon to the 1970s, when some marijuana users began dipping their cigarettes or “joints” in a liquid form of PCP. Consumption of these drugs can have a serious, severe or even fatal impact on your health. Public health officials use this term to describe tobacco or marijuana cigarettes dipped in one or both of two substances: the hallucinogenic anesthetic PCP (phencyclidine or “angel dust”) and formaldehyde-based embalming fluid.
