Homonym: Angel Dust (PCP)
Angel Dust is a powerful synthetic drug that belongs to the class of substances known as dissociatives. It is chemically similar to PCP (phencyclidine) and can cause feelings of detachment from reality, hallucinations, and altered perceptions of time and space. Users may experience a sense of euphoria, but the drug can also lead to severe anxiety, agitation, and confusion.
Originally developed as an anesthetic in the 1950s, Angel Dust is now illegal in many countries due to its potential for abuse and harmful effects. It is often found in a white powder or crystal form and can be smoked, snorted, or ingested. Long-term use can result in serious mental health issues and addiction.
