Its true classification, however, is a dissociative anesthetic. PCP also is used commonly at raves, so it is informally classified as a club drug (UXL Encyclopedia of Drugs and Addictive Substances).

Rarely is it taken this way. It can--and is most commonly-- be mixed with other substances or taken in other forms. Some examples are tablets, capsules, added to marijuana joints, combined with cocaine, mixed with water to produce a clear liquid, or even more of a sludge. When mixed with other stuff, PCP can gain color; it can be tan, brownish, or orange.

cyanide, paint remover, motor fuel, and chemicals used in making plastic. Because of this, labs making PCP have a strong ammonia smell and a bitter taste.
