It can act as a hallucinogen, stimulant, depressant, and anesthetic all at the same time and it used as a horse tranquiliser. A powerful psychedelic known for its dissociative effects.
The most common way to use PCP is in liquid form or by lacing a cannabis joint or cigarette. PCP is a white crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water or alcohol.

"PCP (phencyclidine) was developed in the 1950s as an intravenous anesthetic. Its use in humans was discontinued in 1965, because patients often became agitated, delusional, and irrational while recovering from its anesthetic effects. PCP is illegally manufactured in laboratories and is sold on the street by such names as angel dust, ozone, wack, and rocket fuel. Killer joints and crystal supergrass are names that refer to PCP combined with marijuana. The variety of street names for PCP reflects its bizarre and volatile effects.
PCP is a "dissociative drug," meaning that it distorts perceptions of sight and sound and produces feelings of detachment (dissociation) from the environment and self. Dissociative drugs act by altering distribution of the neurotransmitter glutamate throughout the brain. Glutamate is involved in a person's perception of pain, responses to the environment, and memory."
