Cigarette Dipped in formaldehyde?

[louiset]

My fiance's sisters boyfriend "disapered" from 2pm friday afternoon until 7pm this evening. Last she heard from him he was going over to a girls house, then never called or gave any indication were he was. The other thing is this guy is that he is a chronic liar. He tells some of the dumbest stories to make his life seem so amazing.

This evening he came home and said he had been out all night and didn't call because his friend dipped a cigarette in formaldehyde and he didn't know about it. He said that he was so out of it that he couldn't make a phone call for the past 24 hours.

My fiance's mom says he is talking like his jaws are clenched and his eyes are a little bit red and moves like it hurts.

Could his actions be fake? Could this drug have effects on him 24 hours later? If he did smoke it, would that cause him to have the inability to pick up a phone and call?

Any help is great. thankyou

Formaldehyde is a common name for phencyclidine (PCP), most likely derived from another term for PCP, "embalming fluid."

Use the search engine for further information on PCP.

wait, but just dont get this wrong, formaldehyde istn actually pcp, isnt it ? (what a great joke...) sry but SWIM is not familiar with dissoziatives

No. PCP and Formaldehyde are totally different compounds with no relationship whatsoever.

As Paracelsus mentioned, one of the slang words for PCP is "embalming fluid", and the main active ingredient in real embalming fluid is formaldehyde. It's likely that someone made the erroneous link and assumed that PCP = Formaldehyde. Like many myths, it just won't die despite being easily proved wrong. Part of the problem is that some anti-drug campaigners help to spread it.

Unfortunately some ignorant people are soaking weed in actual formaldehyde thinking its a drug.Swim knew someone personally that did this.

[0utrider]

well i asked because of this, cuz it sounded too ridicolous to be true

[Orchid_Suspiria]

This person swim knows probably misinterpreted hearing pcp called formaldehyde as slang and actually thought it really was formaldehyde.Horrible smelling stuff,the guy and his friends that somehow seemed to enjoy this stuff said it made them feel weak and hear whomp whomp noises.Doesn't sound like much fun.

methanal is very reactive. what's to say that there isin't some rxn between tobacco components and the aldehyde, producing a compound(s) which is(are) either active, or a precoursor(s), which, when heated, become synthesized to an active(s)? don't rule anything out unless you know for sure. heard it called dank. oh, and, the aldehyde would pretty much evaproate once those cigs. are dried, so no biggie there. formaldehyde is a really god crosslinker (nucleotide wise), which partially explains its carcinogenic potential.
