what is angel dust

Angel dust is a street name for the drug phencyclidine (PCP), which is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that alters the perception of what is and isn’t real. PCP was originally developed as an anesthetic in the 1950s but is now illegal in the United States. It is considered a dissociative drug, leading to a distortion of sights, colors, sounds, self, and ones environment. Angel dust comes in various forms, including powders, tablets, or liquid, and can be snorted, smoked, injected, or swallowed. The drug has a distinctive bitter chemical taste. Some common street names for PCP include angel dust, supergrass, rocket fuel, hog, ozone, peace pill, dust, embalming fluid, and killer joints. The effects of PCP can be severe and long-lasting, including vivid hallucinations, excessive paranoia, acute anxiety, loss of feeling in extremities, slurring of speech, and even combative behavior and superhuman strength. It is important to seek help if you or someone you know is addicted to angel dust.
