Why would anyone do PCP?

[cra$h]

saliva? haha, simple typo makes things a little weird sounding. but swim would like to do the same, or just go all out. still havent decided, but is leaning towards a nice low dose, after trying ketamine first.

hey n00b here. but anyways pcp is a great drug when you have good product. if you go to the ghetto's your prob gettn "wet" which isn't a great form of pcp. SWIM has a friend who makes his own chems and he makes a version called "dust" which used to be around the rave scene back in the 90's. it's kinda like being fucked on K but being able to walk around which is kinda dangerous cuz your pretty fucked up lol. anyways it can be a great drug if you can get the right kind.

SWIM's brother smoked PCP a couple times. He said basically that it is an awesome feeling. He felt very euphoric and good; except the downside is that you really lose control of your actions.

SWIM's opion of pcp is that very similar to ket and some people really like the effects Dissociatives have on the body, for SWIM anyway pcp produced interesting effects that helped further his knowledge of Dissociatives and exploring the mind.

SWIM wants to try PCP only once or twice though because is very neuro-toxic SWIM is led to believe. It is certainly an intriguing drug but it seems that Ketamine is a safer drug to use.

EDIT - SWIM was completely off with his post (below), as the posts of Rainbowzz and TheBadMan suggest. A Little research shows ketamine is still used in human medicine, and does not have reported high neurotoxicity.
Until reviewing this post and looking into it further SWIM was still under the impression his statements below were correct, Thankyou for putting him right!

Original post -
From SWIMs memory ketamine also has a high neurotoxicity in comparison to other drugs of abuse. SWIM thinks this and the hallucinations it can cause were why it was withdrawn from use in human medicine.

NP, Geeza. There is one thing SWIM wanted to mention though - there is apparently research being done into whether or not LONG TERM CHRONIC ketamine use leads to lesions on the brain. So SWIM would not TOTALLY say for sure just yet that its not neurotoxic at all - of course one receiving it as anaesthetic in a hospital once is not the same as someone insufflating it daily multiple times..

Swims probably favorite drug is K. But swim never found PCP that great to begin with? Kind of boring if you ask swim.

Would I do it? Not bloody likely.
Would Alf do it? Oh yes, he would.
Why? Alf's desire for new altered states is insatiable.
Would Madlab approve any prolonged exposure/chronic usage?
Not bloody likely.

Oh, Alf has just recalled that some 15 years ago he actually stumbled upon an occasion to purchase a PCP blotter. It looked just like a typical LSD blotter but with no graphics whatsoever. And the story went that it came from a Soviet military laboratory. Well, there actually might even be some truth in it - at that time Empire was collapsing, Soviet Union was across the fence and the corrupted Soviet army was in fact selling varied "stuff" to people. So, the blotter was acquired and shared with a friend. Alf read somewhere something about PCP before, but neither him nor his friend had really any idea what to expect. And the friend got "high" but was generally unable to describe the experience in any useful way. And poor Alfie felt just nothing. It looked as if an active substance was not evenly distributed over the blotter and all the goodie went to Alf's buddy. Bad luck struck.

SWIM was a frequent user of pcp.. most times cut to hell though so not that strong.

SWIM used it while partying for maybe about a year. The very last time SWIM and swims partner SWAM used it, they both proceeded to become violent and agressive. Never happened before that, but it happened that time. It was enough to make them both quit.

If swim is not mistaken, is ketamine still not used for people who have issues with anasthesia, such as young children and older folk? Thought i read that somewhere.

I have no clue as to why anyone would decide to smoke PCP, other than perhaps having an exceptional amount of ignorance or carelessness to their own well-being and mind. A person's decision to use PCP is definitely far from rational.

Why do you say that? What is it about PCP that you are assuming is inherently damaging or dangerous?

Most PCP users don't tend to get up and walk around and become violent. As with other dissociatives, PCP users tend to like to sit still in the nothingness.

Actually geezman, ketamine is still used in medicine on human beings and is not demonstrated to be neurotoxic to humans.

That really doesn't sound like PCP. Ketamine was invented to replace PCP as an anesthetic and to make it more appealing, the chemistry of ketamine introduce a polar functional group to make oxidative metabolism of ketamine simpler than PCP. PCP has a half life of like 6 - 8 hours. PCP is notorious for lasting a long time (like 12 to 24 hours, depending on dose, even when smoked).
If what you were smoking was wearing off in only an hour, it was likely not PCP.

SWIM has noticed that lately the local market has boomed with PCP, he may be interested in trying it. He knows that almost any guy in the area that has ever done hard drugs can track it down very easily.

[RX420]

my friends have done pcp a few times. all be it, lose doses and laced with weed. but from what my friend as told many, it was a great time. very trippy and nothing violent. of course it was a low dose...just a dipped joint. but he spent a night out looking at xmaz lights and watching witching fly in brooms ha..

nothing violent. but i cant totally see how someone can get violent on it. Since my friend has seem some people go wacky on the stuff...my friend assumes its all about setting and the person consumin...

im not for it nor woul di even try it, but my friend doesnt think it would be the bad rap it gets. ofcourse there is much safer and more predicable drugs out there....
