Angel Dust, supergrass,
PeaCe Pill. Those,
words don't sound bad,
but they mean "bad"
when used by human beings.
These are nice
sounding names of a particular
tranquilizer, but it
also has names of Killer
Weed, crystal cyclone,
elephant grass, and hog.
This tranquilizer is PCP or
more specifically, phencyclidine.
In action by the N.(J.
Drug Commission May
25, PCP was placed in
schedule two, which
means that in North Carolina
the illegal possession
by anyone of more than
one-half gram of PCP will
face a maximum penalty
of 10 years in prison and a
fine of SI0,000 for each
offense upon conviction in
the courts.
PCP was first developed
in the late 1950's. Originally,
PCP was used as an
anesthetic agent in surgical
procedures, and, although
it was found to be
generally effective, the
drug often produced unpleasant
side effects. Because
of the bad side
effects, in early 1967 it
was removed from the
market for human use.
