What is Phencyclidine?
Phencyclidine, more popularly known as PCP or angel dust, is used mostly for its mind-bending effects. Typically, users snort PCP or inject it into a vein. Once it enters the system, PCP concentrates in the brain and fatty tissues.
Phencyclidine is a synthetic drug classed under a diverse group of hallucinogens. These are drugs that alter feelings, thoughts, and perceptions. They cause images and sensations that seem reel even if they are not. Natural hallucinogens are also found in some mushrooms and plants. Some hallucinogens are synthetic and are therefore man-made.
PCP is also classified as a dissociative drug. This type of drug disrupts the actions of glutamate on the brain’s nerve cells. Glutamate is a chemical that plays a major role in a person’s perception, cognition, and emotion. PCP also changes the actions of dopamine which is the neurotransmitter associated with the feeling of euphoria.
How to Use a Drug Test Strip?
- Remove the drug test from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. For best results, perform the assay within an hour.
- Next, hold the strip by the end, where you can see the product name. To avoid contamination, do not touch the strip membrane.
- Then, holding the strip vertically, dip the test strip in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse above the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip. That’s about 1/5th of the way up the strip.
- After the drug test has finished, remove the strip from the specimen and place it on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer and wait for the colored band(s) to appear. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not interpret it after 10 minutes.
How to Read Drug Test Strip?
Positive
Only one colored band appears, in the control region ©. No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T)
Negative
Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One brand appears in the control regions © and another band appears in the test region (T).
Invalid
Control band fails to appear. Results from any test which has not produced a control band at the specified read time must be discarded. Please review the procedure and repeat with a new test. If the problems persist, discontinue using the kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
Effects of PCP
When taken in small doses, PCP stimulates the central nervous system. Consequently, it boosts a user’s wakefulness and alertness.
Additionally, it decreases the senses of pain and touch, giving the user an overall feeling of wellbeing.
However, large doses of Phencyclidine (PCP) can lead to death due to convulsions, heart and lung failure, and coma.
Why Test for PCP?
Phencyclidine is a Schedule II drug. Therefore, it has a high potential for abuse which may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.
Sadly, PCP is predominantly abused by young adults and high school students. Some of them start as early as 12 years old.
The Addiction Center states that the “majority of adults with an addiction first experimented with drugs before they turned 21.”
Why let our children become lifelong victims of PCP abuse when we can nip it right in the bud through efficient drug tests
