Answer 1

LSD is a psychedelic, PCP is a dissociative anaesthetic. LSD gives you amazingly colorful visuals, synaesthesia, keeps you awake and alert, and diminishes your sense of self. PCP detaches your mind from your body, makes you sleepy and relaxed, numb, etc. and enhances your ego like cocaine.

LSD hardly feels like a drug, whereas PCP removes your ability to make full use of your senses, destroys your coordination and speech, and feels incredibly narcotic and heavy.

No, they are completely different drugs. PCP is Phencyclidine, and is a dissociative anaesthetic, and LSD is Lysergic Acid Diethylamide and is a hallucinogen. They do things to your brain that are similar in some ways, but the overall effects are very different. PCP, being a dissociative, "disconnects" you from reality, whereas LSD, amongst other things, causes you to see shapes, patterns and colours that aren't really there, although PCP may do this to a lesser extent. It's probably wise not to dabble with either of them, especially if you're young, or have any family history of mental health problems, because there is evidence that these drugs can cause lasting mental illness, as well as the dangers associated with any intoxicant.

Lsd And Pcp

Answer 4

PCP is not made from formaldehyde. LSD is a psychedelic. PCP is a dissociative. Two very different things. With LSD you become one with the universe and see great meaning in every random event. PCP unplugs your ego, giving you an undiluted look at how we might behave without our socialization.

Answer 5

Lysergic acid diethylamide-25, or acid, is from a grain fungus that typically grows on rye. The short form LSD comes from the German "Lysergsäure-diethylamid.”
In pure form it is colorless, odorless and mildly bitter. Users typically deliver LSD orally. In its liquid form, intramuscular or intravenous injection can administer it, or even in eye-drops. The threshold dosage level for an effect on humans is about 20 to 30 micrograms.

Phencyclidine (a contraction of the chemical name phenylcyclohexylpiperidine), abbreviated PCP, is a drug exhibiting neurotoxic effect.


LSD's secondary effects normally last from fifty-two to seventy-five hours. Contrary to early reports and common belief, LSD effects do not last longer than significant levels of the drug in the blood.



Physical
Physical reactions to LSD are highly variable and may include the following: increase of heart rate, jaw clenches, perspiration.



Psychological
LSD's psychological effects (called a "trip") vary greatly from person to person, depending on factors such as experiences, states of mind and environment, and dose strength. They also vary from one trip to another, and even as time passes during a single trip. An LSD trip can have long term psycho emotional effects; some users cite the LSD experience as causing significant changes in their personality and life perspective.
LSD experiences can range from indescribably ecstatic to extraordinarily difficult; many difficult experiences (or "bad trips") result from a panicked user feeling that acid has severed him or her from reality and his or her ego. If the user is in a hostile or otherwise unsettling environment, or is not mentally prepared for the powerful distortions in perception and thought that the drug causes, effects are more likely to be unpleasant.
Conversely, a comfortable environment and a relaxed, balanced and open mind set will often result in a unique experience.



Sensory/perception
Generally beginning within thirty to ninety minutes after ingestion, the user may experience anything. LSD does produce illusions, in which ordinary objects and experiences take on entirely different appearances or meanings.



Physical dangers
Although LSD is generally considered nontoxic, it may temporarily impair the ability to make sensible judgments and understand common dangers, thus making the user susceptible to accidents and personal injury.
Initial studies in the 1960s and 70s raised concerns that LSD might produce genetic damage or developmental abnormalities in fetuses.


Flashbacks and HPPD
Colloquial usage of the term flashback refers to any experience reminiscent of LSD effects, with the typical connotation that the episodes are of short duration. However, psychiatry recognizes a disorder in which LSD-like effects are persistent and cause clinically significant impairment or distress. Many emotionally intense experiences can lead to flashbacks when circumstances remind a person acutely of the original experience.

Whether PCP has any strong and consistent effects that are markedly different from other similar compounds is controversial. A moderate amount of PCP will cause users to feel detached, distant, and estranged from their surroundings. A sense of strength and invulnerability may accompany Numbness, slurred speech, and loss of coordination. PCP can sometimes elevate body temperature.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse: at high doses of PCP, blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiration drops. Nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, nystagmus, drooling may accompany this, loss of balance, and dizziness. High doses of PCP can also cause seizures, coma, and death (though death more often results from accidental injury or suicide during PCP intoxication). High doses can cause symptoms that mimic schizophrenia, such as delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, disordered thinking, a sensation of distance from one’s environment, and catatonia. Speech is often sparse and garbled.
Users know Smoking PCP as "getting wet."

In its pure form, PCP is a white crystalline powder that readily dissolves in water. However, most PCP on the illicit market contains several contaminants from makeshift manufacturing. This causes the color to range from tan to brown, and the consistency to range from powder to a gummy mass.
