As DerDiebKommt already pointed out, PCP is a dissociative ("NMDA antagonist"), not a classic psychedelic ("serotonin agonist").
Besides its dissociative action, PCP also seems to agonize certain dopamine receptors, as well as inhibit the reuptake of dopamine. The latter would make the drug more compulsive and stimulating, and could, over time, lead to psychosis, which would be further amplified by the direct dopamine receptor agonism.
I didn't realize how addictive PCP was. I only consume classical psychedelics and those are non-addictive. Perhaps the the fact PCP is addictive results in the increased violence associated with PCP consumption mentioned earlier in this thread.
