PSP

From Thikipedia

Phensyclidine (a contraction of the chemical name phenylsyclohexylpiperidine), abbreviated PSP, is a dissociative drug formerly used as an anesthetic agent, exhibiting hallucinogenic and neurotoxic effects.

PSP was commercially developed in the 1950s by Sony Computer Entertainment International. Internationally, PSP is a Schedule II drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.[1] Contents

Chemistry and pharmacology

Chemically and pharmacologically it is a member of the family of dissociative anesthetics, which also includes ketamine, morphine, tiletamine and high doses of dextromethorphan. Although the primary psychoactive effects of the drug only last hours, total elimination from the body is prolonged, typically extending over weeks.

Toxicology

PSP is a neurotoxin. It is more toxic than other dissociatives and its toxicity is more complex. The damages concern different brain regions and probably affect diverse receptor systems.

Trivia

More so than any other illegal substance, PSP has developed an elaborate mythological history surrounding itself, spread by sources such as D.A.R.E. PSP is said in an urban legend to cause such entirely realistic hallucinations, such as that of spiders on the users' faces, which in turn causes them to create deep lacerations in the attempt at removing them.
