Detroit— Federal investigators have broken up a PCP distribution ring in southeast Michigan and found more than six gallons of the drug, the largest such seizure by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in Michigan.

Prosecutors charged Eric Mitchell, 41, of Carson, Calif., on Monday for his role in the drug ring. Mitchell, who is free on $150,000 bond, faces 10 years to life in prison if convicted of possession with intent to distribute.

"A seizure of this size puts a significant dent in the availability of a very dangerous drug throughout Metro Detroit," said DEA Special Agent in Charge Robert L. Corso.

PCP, or phencyclidine, causes users to act irrationally or violently and often is used along with marijuana, according to the DEA. The substance is volatile and could ignite, explode or emit dangerous fumes.

Mitchell's arrest started with a tip Friday. A DEA special agent in Louisville, Ky., found a suspicious package at a UPS facility bound for a business in the 19000 block of Livernois in Detroit, according to records filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit.

Don't you just love how they always associate PCP with violence and erratic behaviour? Of course noone behaves violently or gets really erratic while on the very safe legal drug alcohol now do they? 8)
 
PCP is completely demonized by the media..... Ive smoked dust plenty of times and never ended up running in traffic naked or doing anything else stupid
 
3-Meo-PCP is supposed to be a cleaner, nicer version of PCP. Maybe with science, we can have neither street nor regular, just a healthier, cleaner, safer analogue.
 
^lol that stuff has landed a few of Our Friends in the psych ward
 
I was unaware, I saw that someone had posted about it somewhere in bluelight. They had said they knew people who enjoyed it, though my poor short term could have played a factor in my error. I'm sure you're right though, you are obv more experienced than I :)
 
Even after trying tons of RC's, I still have this thinking that PCP=bad......this is the only leftover my mind holds on to from DARE. I can't even imagine it has a massive market with all of the improved dissociatives available now.
 
PCP is great, but that is when you are taking known quantities of a known purity, and are aware of the effects, duration, do's and don'ts, etc etc. It is no surprise that peeps in the ghetto sometimes freak out on it. But really, even that is grossly exaggerated. I am sure it happens, but it is pretty hilarious how PCP now forever has that stigma attached to it.

3-MeO subbed has just as much abuse and crazy potential as plain PCP. Different drug, sure, but also very similar. But the set and setting in which 3-MeO PCP would likely be consumed would be much more conducive to a good experience than the random, uninformed, and unknown dose/purity issues that more often than not accompany PCP use.

PCP production in the USA for the last few decades has been dominated by inner city black gangs, mostly from South Central Los Angeles. It is then distributed to various Crip cohorts throughout the US. Sounds like more stereotyping and propaganda I know, but it is the truth. Fascinating story in here somewhere...
 
It didn't help that in the movie Hannibal the guy was cutting his face off on it.

I've smoked a joint laced with PCP before and went into what seemed like a K hole but it was less enjoyable. I don't see really how people are walking around on it doing crazy stuff. But I think K or DXM is a better choice if you want to dissociate.

No there really is a fascinating story in there! How and why PCP became the only real "psychedelic" that is really available in the 'hood, and how actually it's not available many other places ... I would love to know more about the ethnographic/cultural aspects of that.

PCP has added stimulant/dopaminergic qualities and is less sedating/chair locking than K, which is why people tend to act on their bizarre states of mind when on it,hence it's bad rap ...
 
I wonder if he had any ties to the crips out here in LA. Carson is a crip territory here in LA, and the crips tend to run most of the PCP distribution rings around the country, so it wouldnt surprise me if there was a connection here.

probably like people on lsd jumping out of windows
 
Um... the bit about PCP being volatile and potentially causing explosions doesn't quite jive...

The numbers against the two are so totally out of range, you sound completely uneducated trying to compare both. The number of people who freak-out on wet vs the number who actually use it completely dwarf that same comparison with alcohol.

It's usually dissolved in pet. ether, right? That would explain it. That would also make more sense of them seizing "gallons" of it.
