About Angel Dust
What Is PCP?
PCP, commonly known as angel dust, is a hallucinogen (or dissociative drug) that comes in the form of a white powder or liquid. It can be injected, snorted or inhaled, smoked, or swallowed as tablets or pills. Angel dust is a mind-altering substance that often creates superhuman feelings of invincibility, courage, aggression, or rage. It has earned its reputation as the "scariest" drug because of its frequent association with violent or, at times, gruesome behavior. In 2002, rapper Big Lurch was sentenced to life in prison after murdering his roommate and eating parts of her body while under the influence of PCP. Such violent behavior may be a result of decreased sensitivity to pain and loss of ego. However, Big Lurch's incident of PCP drug violence is only one occurrence of many others related to the drug. Due to the widespread abuse, risk of addiction, and ample episodes of violence, PCP was briefly limited to veterinary only use, but now has strict restrictions as a Schedule II drug.

Yes, angel dust can be detected in a drug test. However, the type of PCP test may be a factor in whether or not it will show up.
