Summary
3-Chlorophencyclidine (commonly known as 3-Chloro-PCP or 3-Cl-PCP) is a novel dissociative substance of the arylcyclohexylamine class that produces potent dissociative, hallucinogenic and euphoric effects when administered. 3-Cl-PCP was presumably first synthesized in 2020 and was marketed alongside other novel dissociatives that were produces at roughly the same time, such as 3-F-PCP and DMXE. It is known to primarily induce a state referred to as "dissociative anesthesia", albeit the extent to which this occurs has been reported to be highly dose-dependent and variable in its effects.
Perspectives
“The first is simply how soft and soothing and supremely anxiolytic it is- it is a gentle plush dissociation, pleasant and euphoric the whole way through abound with delightful physical sensations. It feels like lying on a king size bed made of clouds. Yet it was absent of any noticeable sedation or stimulation.”
