Here is my theory. Since PCP was invented in search of an opioid analgesic and was determined to have "no medical use"; notably because of the steep dose curve. (someone say that correctly)
Since it was never "legitimately" synthesized; well as alot of you know that increases the chance of a "bad synth" or contaminants etc; perhaps this had a SMALL amount to do with it.
Let me stop you right there and point out that PCP was indeed legitimately brought to market and remains as a Schedule II drug, despite it no longer being manufactured by the pharmaceutical industry… They withdrew it from the market voluntarily. The brand name was Sernyl. Look it up.
Also, it was developed as a cheap and potent anesthesia to be used by the U.S. military in Vietnam where soldiers were getting their limbs blown off in the jungle. Ketamine is what Parke Davis developed on its heels which did not suffer from the same side effect profile as PCP.
THE REAL PROBLEM -- PCP was released as a "feel good" drug. It is very much not. MOST PEOPLE who had access to pcp and were willing to brave the negative media hype: I suspect that ALOT of these people already had PTSD and a host of other mental issues. Disassociates do not lend well to those with mental issues; nor are they "feel good drugs" (for lack of a better term).
PCP feels good, what are you talking about? I mean, it feels good in roughly the same way Ketamine does. It's not an opioid and has never been marketed that way. The appeal comes from the dissociated psychedelia and over all stoned and relaxed feeling it brings on. To me, it's meditative, peaceful and very much music-enhancing.
All of it seems to come from East L.A and is usually sold in liquid from what I understand.
IME, personally, it comes from a variety of sources in different cities across the U.S. All the east coast cities have it, especially DC, NYC, Philly & Baltimore. I have no doubt L.A. is the source for it out west and I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago and St. Louis also had their own scenes, possibly something like Youngstown, OH, too, maybe Detroit or ATL. From what I've heard, LA is more likely to have Angel Dust – that is to say, powdered PCP you can accurately measure. Otherwise there's a tendency for it to be applied to mint leaves.
Dipping your blunt in PCP syrup,
It's not really a syrup. It's wet like water. And typically we pull out the filter of a cigarette, tear off about 1/4 of it lengthwise and discard that, put the remaining 3/4 back in the cig and then dip the tip of, maybe 1/4 inch into the wet. Then, without lighting it, you just draw on the cig and it pulls the wet into the rest of the cigarette. Oh and the taste is
so bad, I can taste it now in fact. Then you light it up and that cigarette can get you and like three to five other people completely destroyed and couch-locked with profoundly blown minds.
How many MG's is that? If you don't know IT IS A PROBLEM.
It works out to be about the equivalent of 50 - 60 mg of the hydrochloride salt by my best estimate. I mean, inhaling a substance is an imperfect route of administration to begin with, you know? I mean, are people holding their hits or just blowing them out immediately? And different ppl have different metabolisms, enzymes, heart rates, body temperatures, body weights, mental dispositions towards things, and experience levels w/drugs. But w/a little logic, reason, accountability, and caution, figuring out the right dose as adjusted through taking hits and pausing for 60 seconds to evaluate how it's hitting you is what I kind of suggest to anyone trying it out for the first time.
All that being said; I would take MXE over PCP or Ketamine any day of the week.
Amen. MXE is my
shit. But 3-HO-PCP is legit AF, too, to me.
If you do dose PCP I recommend a 1. Very measured dose 2. Solid frame of mind and setting 3. A trip sitter.
I mean, it's the same advice for any powerful psychedelic one might try, either on the first few trips at least, or any "hero dose" trips. And leave the stuff alone if your family has a history of severe mental illness and/or psychosis, especially your immediate family. But again, this advice stands for psychedelic and dissociating drugs in general.
I highly suggest you get MXE (if you can) instead of PCP.
That's a pretty big if and the stuff all but disappeared following the Chinese ban on it.
