    Tolerance

    Build-up develops with repeated use over days to weeks
    Reset 2–4 weeks for noticeable reduction

    Tolerance Decay

    Full tolerance 3d Half tolerance 7d Baseline ~21d

    Rapid tolerance develops with repeated exposure and partially generalizes across NMDA-antagonist dissociatives. Anecdotal and clinical observations suggest tolerance recedes substantially over 2–4 weeks of abstinence; prolonged heavy use may leave residual cognitive changes beyond simple tolerance. Data quality is limited and varies by compound and route.

    I Loved It positive exp #112088

    My Experience of PCP Aka Wet. I Loved It. PCP has such a bad history to it and I think I know why. All of this is NOT FACT and it is all my personal opinion. I do believe it to be true. If you want to skip to the Experience itself, then scroll down to EXPERIENCE.

    In my long history of drug use, this experience was the most beautiful, the most pure and also the one that probably hurt me the most in the end. I am writing this about 11 years after the fact, so I was about 19 at the time.

    I Can't Imagine How It Feels to Be a Dust Bunny neutral exp #49500

    The very first time I smoked PCP it actually was pleasant. It was kind of like being high after smoking marijuana but without the lazy feeling I sometimes get. I felt happy, energetic and I didn't get the munchies.

    The Beginning of My Insanity neutral exp #115037

    This was my first experience with PCP. I can’t recall a lot of the experience but I’ll do my best to. This happened on Friday March 13th in 2014. I picked up a friend who had the drug percured from a Chinese company which I won’t disclose here. It was extra potent and boy was I curious to try it.

    'It doesn't rain much in California but everyone's always wet.' The drug in discussion is PCP also known as water in its liquid form. It is a scarce drug to find these days aside from certain areas in CA and parts of the East Coast.

    I wanted to share some thoughts on PCP. I woke up this morning still feeling slighty numb and 'fuzzy' from smoking last night. Not going to work, was not an option so here I am, reading about PCP. No more than a couple minutes after smoking do I realize, wow I am fucked up. Having smoked before, it's expected.

    PCP Saved my life This is basically a summary of my experiences with my favorite drug PCP. I consider my self one of the many people who are known as dustfiends, a proud member of the Dust Fiend Team. It has so many beneficial qualities aside from the amazing high. It makes your tolerance go waaayyy down.

    Pcp Inexperienced Incredible positive

    This is my first time posting here on bluelight, but I had to share this experience. I'm a veteran of several psychedelics, LSD, psilocybin, DMT, specifically and have enjoyed a variety of enjoyable experiences on each of them. None of them have anything on what it was like to finally do PCP.

    Here's what came up with my research on 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine and its analogs. I've seen there's quite an interest in PCP analogs right now so I thought I would dig up my kind of old notes and reports (cut syntheses) and post a somewhat cumulative trip report/summary.

    PCP - Experienced (sorta) - Voyageur PCP has been one drug I was DYING to try, simply out of curiousity since I love dissociatives and since it is so rare and has so much mystique surrounding it. I was ecstatic when a good friend announced that he had found some.
