PCP is an illegal, common street drug. It has other names, including angel dust. PCP can cause a feeling of being high as well as depressed.
Recreational users experience numbness and an altered sense of reality and time.
PCP abuse often leads to physical injury to the user or those who come in contact with him. In an emergency, an overdose of PCP can be confused with schizophrenia because users show marked withdrawal from other people and the outside world and become totally self-absorbed. PCP acts on the body's biochemical systems and on brain cells to create an imbalance that causes distortions in the user's perceptions of reality. In this procedure, electrodes are placed on your head and attached to a device that records the electrical activity of your brain. The first and most important step is to prevent respiratory arrest and convulsions.
