I recently was asked by a friend to help prepare a stock sterile soln of phencyclidine for storage in a sealed vial and as a thanks he asked me if I wanted any. Well I thought,'I'll give it another go, just for the sake of fairness' as my first experience was a bit er... disconcerting.
So anyway, off I tootle with 4mg (0.4ml of a 10mg/ml sterile soln) to try at some point; last night was the moment. At first it seemed like a slow ketamine onset from an IM injection of the 4mg, but it wasn't quite the same. So, on with the headphones and lie down in a darkened room - all very familiar, but I've had S-isomer ketamine since my first encounter with PCP so that might account for why it wasn't quite as weird (PCP is much closer to the S-isomer in terms of it's effect comparted to plain racaemic ketamine).
First real difference I noted was that I was very much more aware of the strangeness of the experience, not the warm fuzziness of ketamine (I know warm isn't a word a lot of people would use to describe ketamine, but it is in comparison to phencyclidine!). Rather than being at the centre of all the thought processes as I get with ketamine, I felt much more like am impassive observer of what was taking place. The CEV produced by phencyclidine are so much finer and graceful (elegant I think would be a good word), aesthetically much more pleasing, but in their way cold and non-engaging, unlike ketamine that tends to really involve an interaction with the CEV, well for me at least. The effect on music was similar, in that it seemed to separate out all of the individual contributions, but again it was much more clinical in it's feel.
Other than the fact that this went on for about 3-4 hours as opposed to the 45 minutes of ketamine, they are fairly similar drugs - much better than DXM which I found to feel like a poison - only that I now see ketamine (in all it's forms) as being a lot more warm & cuddly than PCP. As I mentioned, I know some people think of ket as a cold, unemotional drug, but if that's the case wait to be astounded by the Vulcan perspective of PCP.
Not something I'd actively seek out again, but if it was offered and the cercumstances seemed right I'd be game!
Forgot to add that the effects on proprioception (where things are with your eyes closed!) were more noticable than with ketamine. With my eyes closed I imagined that I looked a bit like model of a sensory homunculus - well that's how it felt!
The sensory homunculus in all it's glory...
