Phencyclidine is an arylcyclohexylamine that was originally used as an anesthetic agent and a veterinary tranquilizer. Phencyclidine can produce hallucinations, lethargy, disorientation, loss of coordination, trance -like ecstatic states, a sense of euphoria and visual distortions. It has many street names, such as “angel dust” and “crystal cyclone,” etc. phencyclidine can be administered orally, by nasal ingestion, smoking, or by intravenous injection. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted through the kidneys in urine in unchanged form and oxidized metabolites with a half life of about 12 hours. Suction and urinary acidification in the treatment of overdose typically reduces its half-life from three days to one day.
