What many people didn't realize is that due to the negative publicity surrounding PCP, those that were making and marketing the stuff came up with a brilliant idea: they simply called it something DIFFERENT than PCP. Hence, many people were led to believe that what they were snorting was THC, or simply 'T' for short.
About 95 percent of the PCP in the late 70's early 80's was manufactured in BATHTUBS, (literally), there were many different qualities of this compound. Some purer than others and some downright loaded with impurities.
Some of the best that I remember wasn't even 'white powder' but more of a BROWNISH color.
But you can rest assured that what was being sold with the name "T" was nothing more than PCP or a derivative thereof.
All anyone that's ever done it needs to do to be convinced is watch a nature show where they use PCP to capture a lion or tiger. Immediately upon being shot with a dart of this stuff, the animal starts stumbling and running in to things. Eventually, (within a very SHORT period of time), the animal ends up falling down with his eyes WIDE OPEN and tongue hanging out. This is the exact EFFECT that a decent dose of "T" would have upon an individual. The trick was to NOT DO ENOUGH to end up in this state. If one could do JUST ENOUGH, it was an INCREDIBLE high. But just a TAD 'too much' and one was in for some sort of NIGHTMARE. From talking trees warning of impending doom to sensations of simply fading into oblivion, the effects of an 'overdose' were not TOO FRIENDLY. Yet I have NEVER heard of anyone that even KNEW anyone that died from an overdose of PCP. It was SO POTENT that one would obviously have to do WAY MORE than a 'hit or two', (tiny tiny line), to even become comatose. I personally have witnessed persons INJECT quarter grams of this stuff only to be 'zombi-tised' for a day or so. While many have, without a doubt, THOUGHT they were going to die, I never heard of anyone actually dying from an OD.
So let me assure all those that 'bought in' to the hype of being sold "THC" in a powder form, nothing of the sort EVER EXISTED. What they were buying was actually "PCP". And anyone that ever ate a 'tab of T' or snorted this stuff KNOWS that the effect was NOTHING LIKE smoking weed. Yet if they were actually snorting pure THC, the effects would most certainly be 'recognizable' as being THC. The PCP high was ONE OF A KIND. Nothing else even remotely LIKE IT unless you were to mix cocaine, heroin, acid, speed, XTC together in small enough amounts to make each of the effects run TOGETHER.
Now, how do I KNOW what I am speaking of? Back then in High Times Magazine, you could send a small sample of any substance along with a small payment and and an identification code they would have it analyzed at a lab and you could call in with your security code and they would given you the results. On numerous occasion either I, or buddies of mine, had sent in samples of this "T" only to find that it was IN FACT, PCP or a derivative thereof. Some of it quite pure and others NOT SO PURE. But inevitably each was indeed PCP.
So there you have it. How easy it was back then to DUPE an entire group into believing something utterly fabricated. Just like MOST of what people smoking THAI Sticks were smoking was actually some of the first 'crippy' that slicksters were merely wrapping on bamboo sticks. Weed that was grown in their neighbors garage was being touted as THAI STICK simply because NO ONE EVEN KNEW what THAI Stick actually was. An easy way for a man to take a 5.00 gram and make 30.00 off of it.
